Umami Mart Gift Guide

Scrubby towels are great for exfoliating and feeling refreshed. But most are made out of synthetic fibers that start to pill, are too harsh on the skin, or start to develop an unpleasant odor. We love this body towel made of pure hemp, for its sturdy yet soft textures. Exfoliate and invigorate safely and knowing that you aren't using any man-made synthetics against sensitive skin.

We visited Mafu Okai, one of the last weavers of hemp textiles in Japan. Located in Nara, the family uses non-mechanized looms to make spools of fabric that can be purchased by the meter at their shop.
