How do I know if I have nonenal?
Why is it expensive?
- Real fermented kakishibu. Cheap bars use persimmon fragrance or a splash of juice. Kakiyu uses the concentrated tannin extract that actually breaks down nonenal.
- The traditional Japanese method. Made the way kakishibu has been fermented and used for over a thousand years. Most competitors only borrow the word “Japanese”.
- Slow, traditional fermentation. Unripe persimmons are pressed and fermented the traditional way before a single bar is poured. That takes months, not minutes.
- Seasonal and rare. Persimmons ripen once a year, in autumn. One harvest makes a limited number of bars, so every batch is small.
- Still less than your morning coffee. For a problem you actually want gone.
How long does it last?
Is there a guarantee?
It is not your hygiene.
It is a compound called nonenal.
After 40, your skin starts making a new oil called nonenal. That oil is what smells.
Think of a greasy pan. Water runs right over it, and the grease stays. Regular soap does the same thing with this oil. That is why showering more changes nothing.
You cannot smell it on yourself. Other people can.
Why nobody makes it
like Kakiyu.
Persimmons ripen once a year. We press one harvest, the way it has always been done in Japan. Fewer than 50,000 bars. Then we wait for the next autumn. That is what real fruit costs.
The unripe fruit ferments for months. The way Japan has done it for a thousand years. Then it is poured into a glycerin base that holds moisture. The odor comes off. The water stays in.
Persimmon soap got popular. The copycats came fast. Neon orange bars. Persimmon fragrance. Two for $10. But kakishibu cannot be rushed. We went deep so you never smell it again.
Real results from the first use.
The aging odor gone, confidence back, and skin that feels soft instead of stripped.

Every ingredient carefully chosen.
Persimmon is strong. It pulls the smell right off your skin, but on its own it leaves skin dry and tight. That is why cheap persimmon bars make you itch. Four ingredients do the work: one to end the smell, three to keep your skin soft.

Best shower soap I've ever used, and that includes all the liquid brands out there. Leaves your skin feeling very clean, very subtle fragrance, no residue on the skin, and your skin feels cleaner longer. I haven't figured out yet how to make the soap last as long as they say it does, but trying various things, including using the pouch they provide.
Smells great! Suds good too
Works great
No scent at all
Gently cleans
I enjoy my shower with it. I feel clean & my skin is soft and smells clean.
I love the scent of this soap more than another brand that I purchased.
Company is great at communicating. Soap smells very nice. I'm not sure it actually works as stated but the bar lathers well. Recommend trying it.
Been using this soap and I felt the smell gradually vanished.
Smells great
Love the smell!
Suds up nicely…. Smells good
I’m just now trying this soap. I do like the fragrance and how it makes my skin feel.
Love the smell and cute little soap dish, thanks
I am very glad that I was introduced to Kakiyu. I love the soap and think it’s effective. Customer service has been helpful. I have used other ostensibly persimmon soaps, and this is better by far. The bamboo soap holder and the travel case are great too.
Perfect for my skin. Absolutely gorgeous too. Definitely recommend.
Not very soapy
I need more time to rate on my first soap bar so far good
Loved the soap used it in the bag I only have short showers but the soap only lasted for two weeks.
Love the scent. I feel fresh and very clean!
I love the soap, but a bar only lasts 2 weeks. Like the way it cleans and leaves my skin soft. Wish the smell lasted a bit longer.
I have been using this bar for only a couple weeks. I really like the smell and it lathers very well. My skin feels refreshed and clean after use.
I love the smell of the soap, but, just started using it! I’m sure it’ll love it!
Love the lather and smell
I’ve been using the bar soap for about a month now and I’ve noticed that my arms don’t itch anymore. My skin feels better , smoother and less itchy.
I love the soft, citrusy smell of the bar. It lathers really well and doesn't leave my skin dry.
It is an excellent soap for everyone
My husband and I are gladly experiencing the change of ourselves after using the kakiyu persimmon soap
This soap lathers up beautifully, washes away the overnight greasy feeling, feels kind on my skin and smells nice.
Love the freshness that using it leaves on my skin. Actual quit having flakes on my arms, which was embarrassing. Thrilled with my decision to buy and use. Had purchased another brand prior; but now using Kakiyu I am more than glad I did. I donated the other brand to a women's shelter Will definately reorder in Summer/Fall 2027.💕🌺
I’m not sure it’s working for me. I don’t notice a difference. It’s expensive for just trying something different/new.
I have only used it 3 times so far, as I don't bathe every day.
It lathers well and makes my skin feel soft.
Enjoying using my bar of soap, smells nice. I can’t detect whether the scent lingers on my skin. I purchased 8 bars so I’ll be using this for a while.
