Did you know?
Japanese towels are very talented. They do not only perfectly perform the tasks given to them as towels. They even do jobs that are not supposed to be the role of towels, but they do them perfectly.
So, how exactly are they used in Japan?
First of all, towels generally used in Japan are a little different from those used in the United States.
The difference is obvious when you actually take one in your hand.
1, Thin
You will be surprised at how thin it is. It is also convenient for storage because it is not bulky. Another advantage is that you can easily carry it around. You may wonder if you can really wipe your hands and body with it. However, there is no need to worry.
2, Absorbency
Japanese thin towels are extremely absorbent. When wiping your hands, you do not have to rub your hands repeatedly against the cloth, and it absorbs moisture immediately. And because the cloth is thin, it dries quickly. They can be used again and again. There is no way it is unreliable. Japanese towels are perfectly capable of fulfilling their role as towels.
