Hand-made soaps using only ingredients from Hokkaido
SAVON de SIESTA
Here in “SAVON de SIESTA”, soaps are made by hand with the utmost dedication to details at the workshop adjoining the store. Using as much natural ingredients as possible, these soaps have been conferred the “Sapporo Style*” certification for its high quality. What we recommend are soaps made from natural ingredients in Hokkaido, such as organic azuki beans grown in Tokachi, silver birth from Shimokawa-cho where 90% of the municipality is covered in forests, and natural salt from the Sea of Okhotsk. At the shop “Siesta Labo.”, you may also find original home fragrance and bath salt in addition to the selection of soaps. “Hatsu-yuki (first snow)”—sliced soaps with snowflake crystal patterns—are sure to bring you delight as the ideal souvenir.
