Shirayuki Kitchen Cloth with Binchotan Charcoal
At first glance, it's just a kitchen cloth. But take a closer look — and use it once — and you'll feel the difference.
Woven in Nara from Japanese cotton and rayon spun from wood pulp, and infused with binchotan charcoal — a type of Japanese white charcoal long prized for its purity. The result is a cloth with the softness and absorbency of classic Shirayuki, plus natural deodorizing and antibacterial properties from the charcoal.
The cloth arrives slightly stiff, coated with natural sweet potato starch from Kagoshima. Rinse the starch out with warm water (around 40°C) before first use, and the cloth transforms — softer, more absorbent, more familiar with each wash.
- Fine mesh, soft and breathable Gently wipes glassware, fruits, and hands without scratching or leaving residue.
- Naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant Binchotan charcoal threads help prevent smells and bacteria buildup — ideal for repeated use.
- Absorbent and quick-drying Stays fresh longer between washes and dries efficiently.
- Thoughtful material Rayon spun from wood pulp — renewable and biodegradable, with better moisture absorption and odor resistance than cotton or linen alone.
- A long second life Ideal as a dish or hand towel at first — and as it ages, it moves naturally through its purposes, from counter wiping to utility cleaning. One cloth, used fully from first wash to last.
- Crafted in Nara, Japan Heritage weaving with thoughtful modern detail.
