＜12/JU-NI shampoo and conditioner for preserving your travel memories beautifully＞

When you use the shampoo provided in most hotels, your hair doesn’t always come out looking great.
Even if you’ve taken lots of photos of your trip, you can’t help but feel a little disappointed every time you look back at a photo of your slightly frizzy hair…
I think that people with particularly frizzy hair have probably had this experience before.

The shampoo and conditioner in the guest rooms at NIKKO STYLE NAGOYA are “12/JU-NI,” which are designed to address concerns such as hair frizz, damage, and how easily hair gets frizzy after sleeping.
It was developed by Kimura Soap, a long-established soap manufacturer founded in 1924. Kimura Soap is one of only a few companies in Japan that still use the traditional kettle-cooked method of soap making, and the fact that their products are still handmade by artisans shows their commitment to quality.

This shampoo and conditioner, which was developed over five years with a focus on truly improving hair quality, ignoring all of the trendy ingredients and ease of production, is a very luxurious and delicate formula that can only be made by Kimura Soap, which requires the skills of artisans in its production.
You’ll definitely feel a different response to your hair care than you’ve experienced before, as you feel the shampoo’s texture on your fingertips as you rinse it out.

Every morning after staying at NIKKO STYLE NAGOYA, I get out of bed, touch my hair, look into the iconic round mirror, check the condition of my hair, and do a victory pose in my heart, thinking “OK!” With my hair nicely set, I head out to make memories in Nagoya.

The 12/JU-NI shampoo and conditioner are not just for the day you stay, but also a great supporting actor that will color your memories of your trip with happiness when you look back at the photos.

This is a column where people who are both self-confessed “travel lovers” and “experienced travelers” introduce their “top picks” that they discovered when they stayed at NIKKO STYLE NAGOYA.

For this second entry, we have hotel researcher “Koja”.
What is the item that he has been using at home since he first encountered it during his stay?

＜The ORIGAMI Cup, which took over three years to complete＞

In the world of specialty coffee, there is an important concept called “FROM SEED TO CUP.” This is the idea of thoroughly controlling the quality of all processes, from the cultivation and harvesting of the beans to production processing, transportation, roasting, extraction, and finally the cup.
Here at NIKKO STYLE NAGOYA, we show an extraordinary commitment to the final process of the cup.

The ORIGAMI brand aroma cups, which were adopted in collaboration with the local “TRUNK COFFEE” shop, have a barrel shape like a wine glass, and are designed to allow you to fully enjoy the aroma!
The matte texture and pastel colors blend in naturally with the interior of the guest rooms. There are two sizes available: a cute, compact 210cc size and a full-sized 320cc size. They are also sold at the hotel, so they can be used as a way to encourage guests to try authentic coffee at home.

The attention to detail in the Nikko-style architecture and interior design appeals to the sense of sight. At the same time, the high-performance speakers create an audio environment that appeals to the sense of hearing.
This cup is an item that embodies attention to detail in the sense of touch, taste, and even smell.

Here, you will find a selection of “real” equipment that has been carefully considered down to the smallest detail of the five senses.

~Hotel’s selection points~
・A one-of-a-kind coffee cup made to drink coffee made in the Mino pottery kilns of Gifu Prefecture.
・The matte finish of the color also makes it a design that blends in anywhere you put it.

~ORIGAMI~
ORIGAMI is a brand born from the wishes of baristas
