Why We Love It

A revolutionary absorbent towel born from the patented "SUPER ZERO®" — known as the "magic twisted yarn." Because it holds plenty of air between fibers, it is astonishingly light yet absorbs water rapidly. The "Hair Dry Towel," which shortens hair-drying time, is a masterpiece you can't let go of once you try it. A crystallization of Japanese technology spreading to the world from a factory in Anpachi Town, Gifu.
