Discover the Spirit of Craftsmanship Through Safe and Sustainable Soap Making

Founded in Wakamatsu in 1910, we have grown into one of Japan's leading additive-free soap manufacturers.

Using high-quality natural oils as raw materials, we continue to craft additive-free soaps that are gentle on people and the environment, employing time-honored methods that take time.

You can observe the process of soap being made by skilled artisans, and we explain the environmental impact of everyday items in an age-appropriate manner.
