Redesigning the oshibori experience: From the pleasure of being served to the pleasure of carrying it with you

That pleasant feeling of an oshibori, which you could only wait to be served in restaurants. kenma has liberated that experience from the constraints of place and time. We propose a new design, 'Oshibori 3.0,' where you can create your own ultimate refreshment anytime, anywhere, at your own timing.

Oshibori 1.0: Cloth. A passive refreshing experience, waiting to be served in restaurants, etc.

Oshibori 2.0: Paper wet wipes. Portability improved, but it couldn't reproduce that 'pleasant feeling of wanting to bury your face in it.'

Oshibori 3.0: Tech Oshibori. A portable refreshing gadget that transforms offices or while traveling into a space like 'the best sauna afterglow' by using hot or cold water, actively carrying it with you.

'Oshibori 3.0' orchestrated by kenma: Designing the 'use cases' of technology

The mission of 'kenma' is to transform the excellent technologies of small and medium-sized enterprises into 'new experiences' and create flagships that visualize their value. This time, we focused on the absorbent material of AION Co., Ltd., which supports the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

This high-tech material, originally essential for precision equipment manufacturing processes, has been connected to 'the moment when people are most relaxed.' After approximately three years of development, the new material 'Crematouch' was born.

This new material, with its intricate three-dimensional structure, combines approximately 2.8 times the cushioning of cloth with an overwhelming water retention capacity of approximately 2.7 times that of general oshibori. By transforming cutting-edge industrial technology into a lifestyle product, we propose the ultimate 'wiping comfort' that overturns conventional wisdom.

Wearable Sauna: Transforming the discomfort of summer heat and rainy season into 'totonoi' (a state of deep relaxation and clarity)

Tech Oshibori offers more than just a cleaning function. It proposes a new lifestyle that can be called a 'wearable sauna' - the ultimate refreshing experience that can be enjoyed anywhere.

Instantly reset the discomfort of summer heat and rainy season: For sticky skin due to humidity and sweat, a quick wipe with a cold water-soaked Tech Oshibori provides surprising exhilaration and cool-down.

Achieve 'totonoi' between work and telework: Pour hot water and place it on your face, and it becomes your private sauna. The warmth and 'super fluffy' feel instantly melt away accumulated fatigue.

Smart maintenance: With amazing drainage properties, moisture is instantly removed by simply squeezing it by hand. It eliminates the stress of incomplete drying, allowing you to carry the 'new' feeling multiple times a day.

* 【To ensure the 'best experience' safely】 Please note not to immerse it in water hotter than 60 degrees Celsius to maintain the quality of the material. Also, when using hot water, be careful of burns and enjoy at a comfortable temperature for yourself.
