6 Best Japanese Products I Purchased in The Past Year!
I've purchased many Japanese products in the past year because my husband and I visited Japan last winter, and he went on his business trip to Japan three times this year. You can check out my Japan haul entries here. I was able to find some great products that ended up having changed my life better. :) Today, I'm going to share six best Japanese products I purchased in the past year with you.
I really love Uniqlo EZY Jeans! I wrote about Uniqlo EZY Jeans in my previous entry, The Most Comfortable Japanese Jeans - Uniqlo EZY Jeans, and I eventually purchased two pairs of Uniqlo EZY Jeans for my husband and myself in last February, and since then we have been wearing the jeans every weekend! They are so soft and comfortable just like sweat pants. I really recommend Uniqlo EZY Jeans to everyone who wears jeans!
Many Japanese people have posted photos of EZY Jeans on their Instagram (#ezyジーンズ).
Many people review that EZY Jeans are the most comfortable jeans ever!

I like the fact that Uniqlo is offering a free alteration, so you can choose the right length of jeans!
I purchased this microwavable warmer, Hakugen Yutapon L Size (白元 ゆたぽん L サイズ), in Japan last winter, and I really enjoy using it this winter as well. If you know Japanese Hokkairo, Japanese disposable heat pack, you will think that this Yutapon is like a huge reusable Hokkairo.
I use it when I'm writing on my blog. I microwave it and place it over my knees. Then, I cover my legs with plush throw. I feel like as if I were putting my legs in Japanese kotatsu! ;) When I go to a bed with this warmer, it also helps me to fall asleep. :) I have some Japanese microwavable warmers, and this is the best warmer I've ever purchased. Seriously, I cannot live without it during cold season!
How to Warm It Up
1. Fold it in two. Then place it in a microwave oven.
2. With using a 1000W microwave oven, microwave it for two minutes.
3. Turn it over. Then, microwave it for another two minutes.
4. Put it in its warmer cover. Enjoy!
I'm impressed that it removes makeup and moisturizes my skin at the same
time! My skin doesn't feel sticky after that but well hydrated. :)
According to Bifesta, you don't have to rinse your face after removing
makeup with this wipe, and you don't even have to apply moisturizer
because it's a all-in-one cleansing wipe (makeup remover + moisturizer),
so you can sleep right after using this wipe. As soon as I came back home, I removed my makeup and could relax at night. Although I washed my face and moisturizes my skin as usual before going to bed. I highly recommend this one for anyone who wears makeup!
As I mentioned in my previous entries, Allie is one of my favorite sunscreen brand because it truly works. I decided to purchase this Allie Mineral UV Cut Powder because it has many positive reviews in Japan. I was really impressed at this powder sunscreen because it doesn't only protect my skin from UV ray, but it also makes my makeup last all day seriously!
This powder sunscreen was created by Alli's UV-cut technology, ADVAN,
anti-damaging UV-A Network. It can protect your skin from harmful UV
rays. It contains vegetable collagen to moisturize your skin, and
mineral loose powder absorbs and controls excess oil. If you are looking for the best powder sunscreen, you really should try this one. :)
If you love Japanese beauty products, you have probably already known this eyebrow powder, KATE Designing Eyebrow. I've often seen this eyebrow powder in many Japanese beauty articles. As I mentioned in my previous entry, 5 Best-Selling Products from Kanebo KATE Tokyo, Popular and Affordable Japanese Makeup Products, according to Biteki beauty magazine,over 17 millions of this eyebrow powder have been sold since it was released in 2001! It's
currently placed first in the ranking of the best eyebrow makeup products on
@cosme, a huge cosmetic review site in Japan, and it won the best eyebrow makeup award of 2018 in Japan.
I purchased this EX 4 Light Brown
and really really love it, and is one of the best Japanese makeup
products I've purchased in Japan! It's perfect with my dark brown Asian
hair. If you like perfect natural eyebrow look, you will definitely love it. KATE Designing Eyebrow can be found at many drugstores in Japan. If you are planning on visiting Japan, you really should check KATE products there.
6. Sharp Healsio Gurie (シャープ ヘルシオグリエ)
Highend Toaster Oven
19,171 yen at Bic Camera
Originally 32,500 yen
Can be purchased at most electronics stores in Japan
I've used this toaster oven, Sharp Healsio Gurie (シャープヘルシオグリエ), a lot this year, and I really love it. As I mentioned in my previous entry, Healsio Gurie - What I Want to Get in Japan, Healsio Gurie is a very expensive toaster oven (but Sharp calls it "a
water oven."). While a typical affordable Japanese toaster oven costs
around 3,000 yen, Sharp Healsio Gurie is 32,500 yen! I was able to purchase my Healsio Gurie AXH1 for 19,171 yen at an electronics store in Japan a year ago because Sharp
had just released its newer model, Healsio Gurie AXH2, so AXH1 was on sale
there! (If you live in Japan, AXH1 is selling at more affordable price on Amazon Japan now.) Healsio Gurie has so many positive reviews on Amazon Japan. Many people review that it improved their life. :)
Healsio Gurie heats up foods with their steam technology. It makes cold
tempura fresh and crispy just like it was freshly deep-fried.
I also used Healsio Gurie for frozen tempura which I purchased at Costco
US, and I was surprised that the tempura turned out crispy and tasted
so much better than I had expected. :)
Japanese Sliced Bread
I also toasted Japanese sliced bread. It turned out crispy
outside and fluffy inside. One of the best things I found for Healsio Gurie was that it won't burn toast black. It seemed that it also heats up from inside of food (It is maybe their steam technology!). I was also able to toast croissants perfectly, and it was hot and fluffy inside!
Baked Potatoes
My favorite ones I made with Healsio Gurie were baked potatoes! :) I heated russet potatoes with Healsio Gurie for 45 to 60 minutes, and seasoned them with salt and butter. It was moist and fluffy. :) In addition, the potato skin was so crispy. I didn't know that potato skins are so delicious! (Potato skins are edible and nutritious but shouldn't be eaten in large amount at a time because of the toxin solanine.)
Yaki Imo (焼き芋), Japanese Roasted Sweet Potato
I've also made my favorite yaki imo (焼き芋), roasted Japanese sweet potatoes, so many times! I heated Japanese sweet potatoes with Healsio Gurie for 45 minutes to 60 minutes. I was able to make perfect yaki imo easily. It reminded me of Donki's roasted yaki imo I had in Japan! ;) I enjoyed my yaki imo with anko, sweetened red bean paste. That was perfect! :)

Healsio Gurie definitely improved my life! You can find Healsio Gurie at most electronics stores in Japan. If you can read Japanese, you can check its excellent reviews on Amazon Japan.
