5 Japanese Products I Purchased From Amazon Japan - Beauty, Kitchen Items and More

I ordered some Japanese products from Amazon Japan weeks ago, and I asked my mother-in-law, who lives in Japan, for a favor of sending them with her packages to me next time. It was my first time to ask her a personal favor, and I tried to order as light items as possible to save shipping fee. I thank her so much. As I mentioned in my yesterday's entry, I finally received the packages yesterday. Today, I'm going to share what I ordered form Amazon Japan with you. By the way, all of them I listed below are made in Japan. :)

1. Awa Hour
1080 yen
Made in Japan
You can also find it at Tokyu Hands and Loft in Japan.

Awa Hour

Awa Hour is a popular beauty gadget to lather up facial wash. As I mentioned in my previous entry, 3 Best Japanese Beauty Gadgets to Lather Up Your Facial Wash, most Japanese women believe that washing your face with plenty of lather is the most important tip for healthy skin. Awa Hour has been featured as one of the most useful beauty gadgets on some Japanese TV shows, and it has been on many beauty magazines as well. It has a great number of positive reviews on Amazon Japan and @cosme, a huge Japanese cosmetic review site. Daiso Japan also sells similar one, but I chose Awa Hour because some Japanese people review that Awa Hour is more expensive but it's better quality than Daiso one. Since Awa Hour is made in Japan, I thought that it must be durable and better quality. Because I lather up my facial wash every day, I though I should purchase one lasts longer. :)

I used Awa Hour and really love it! :) I will review on this product in my future entry.

2. OH:E Awayuki Extra Soft
540 yen
Made in Japan

OH:E Awayuki

Awayuki is body wash cloth made by OH:E company. Awayuki has 7 types of body wash cloth and this white Awayuki is extra soft one. I found that this product has so many positive reviews on Amazon Japan. Many people review that this is the most gentle wash cloth ever and creates a fine lather very easily. In the U.S., Salux is the most well known Japanese body wash cloth, but if truth be told, most people in Japan have never heard of Salux. I think Salux is good quality, but it's only popular outside Japan. Many Japanese companies make many kinds of body wash cloth in Japan, so you can find perfect body wash cloth for your skin and preference there.

3. Naotaro Moriyama Daikessakusen
2684 yen

Daikessakusen by Naotaro Moriyama

This is Daikessakusen (大傑作撰), a music album by Naotaro Moriyama. As I mentioned in my previous entry, when the spring has come, I often listen to Sakura (さくら), a song by Naotaro Moriyama (森山直太朗).

Marna Osakana Sponge Long

I really like products made by Marna. Osakana Sponge (おさかなスポンジ) is one of Marna's best selling products, so I wanted to try one. I specifically chose Long one to wash a tall glass. Many people reviews that Marna sponges are very durable and easy to wash dishes. By the way, Marna's Piggy Steamer and Stand Rice Paddle are also popular in Japan.

By the way, oskana in Japanese means fish.

What do you think of the Sharp Plasma Cluster (I think that's what it is in katakana?) styler? I saw stylist Watanabe Yoshiaki use it and I still want it even though it doesn't straighten like a Nanoe. It looks like it straightens just enough for my rush mornings!!
