Yunomoto / Yunohana (Murakami Shokai)
Bring Beppu bath culture home.
Murakami Shokai in Beppu, Oita makes and supplies bath materials known as "Yunohana" and "Yunomoto." Yunohana is created by collecting and crystallizing hot-spring minerals inside a dedicated hut near Beppu's Myoban area. The production method was designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property in March 2006. Yunomoto is a medicated liquid bath additive centered on sulfur, turning bathwater into a milky white tone.
Why We Love It
If you want a straightforward "Beppu feel," start with Yunohana and try one pouch on a calm evening. For Yunomoto, adjust by the capful until the milky tone feels right for your bath. Also check your bathtub system: for reheating or circulation types, the brand notes extra care is needed. Matching the product to your home setup makes the routine easier to keep.
