Where the bar rests

A bar left in water does not last.

Set a bar down flat and it sits in its own puddle. It goes soft from underneath. A little more of it washes down the drain each morning, unused.

The dish lifts the bar on three slots. Water runs through and out. Air reaches the underside. By the next wash, the bar is firm again.

It is bamboo, sized for the Kakiyu bar with room to spare. It asks for a wipe once a week and nothing more.

A dry bar is a bar that lasts.

Set the dish where water can run off it, a shower ledge or the edge of the sink. Put the bar on it after each wash and leave it alone.
Why it matters

The bar is only as good as you keep it.

Kakishibu is persimmon juice, pressed green and fermented for months until it turns deep amber. We press one harvest a year by the traditional Japanese kakishibu method. The extract is certified at over 90% tannin, lot-tested. When it is gone, it is gone until the next autumn. The copycats skip all of that. Persimmon fragrance stirred into an ordinary bar, and nothing fermented at all.

All of that is pressed into one bar. Then it comes home and sits in a puddle. Wet soap turns to paste and washes down the drain before it reaches your skin. The kakishibu goes with it, and that is the part that works on the smell that starts after 40. The dish is the plain fix. Three slots, water through, air underneath. A dry bar is a bar that lasts, and you get all of what was pressed into it.

The Kakiyu ritual

Wash, set the bar down, leave it.

1. Warm water. Work the bar to a full lather.

2. Wash slowly. Rinse well.

3. Set the bar on the dish. Let it dry until tomorrow.

Once a week, lift the bar and wipe the dish dry with a towel.

Questions, answered

Everything else you want to know.

Does the Kakiyu bar fit?
Yes. The dish is sized for the 100 g bar with room to spare. A bar of about the same size or smaller will sit on it just as well.
Does it really make the bar last longer?
A bar that sits in water softens and washes away between uses. Raised on the slots, it drains, dries, and is firm again by the next wash. More of the bar ends up on you and less in the drain.
How do I care for it?
Once a week, lift the bar and wipe the dish dry with a towel. Keep it where water can run off, a ledge or the edge of the sink. Avoid a spot where water pools. That is all.
Does the soap come with it?
No. This is the dish only. The bar is sold on its own page.
When will I get it?
US orders arrive 3 to 7 business days after dispatch. Canada, the UK and Australia take 7 to 15 business days. You get tracking by email the day it leaves us.
What if it does not work for me?
Use it for 60 days. If you are not happy, email us and we refund you in full.
