Hug your loved ones with complete confidence
Traditional Japanese method. Real kakishibu, fermented persimmon tannin
Stop worrying about how you smell
Persimmons ripen once a year. The next batch comes with the autumn harvest.
How do I know if I have nonenal?
Nonenal, a natural compound created when skin oils oxidize, has a greasy or musty smell. It usually starts after 40, when the skin’s antioxidants decline with age. The catch: you often cannot smell it on yourself. Your nose adapts to it. Other people’s noses do not.
Why is it expensive?
- Real fermented kakishibu. Cheap bars use persimmon fragrance or a splash of juice. Kakiyu uses concentrated tannin extract.
- The traditional Japanese method. Based on fermented kakishibu processes.
- Slow, traditional fermentation. Pressed unripe persimmons are fermented before production.
- Seasonal and rare. Persimmons ripen once a year, in autumn.
- Still less than your morning coffee. For a problem you actually want gone.
How long does it last?
4 to 6 weeks per bar with daily use. Each bar is a full 100g. Keep it on a draining soap dish out of standing water.
Is there a guarantee?
Try it for 60 days. If it does not meet the conditions in your store’s refund policy, contact support. Edit this answer to match your actual policy.

It’s not your hygiene.
It’s a compound called nonenal.
After 40, your skin starts making a new oil called nonenal. That oil is what smells.
Think of a greasy pan. Water runs right over it, and the grease stays.
Regular soap does the same thing with this oil. That is why showering more changes nothing.
You cannot smell it on yourself. Other people can.
Kakishibu, fermented Japanese persimmon, is what cuts the grease. Most people smell the difference on the very first wash.
THE STORY BEHIND OUR SOAP
Why nobody makes it
like Kakiyu.
One harvest.
Persimmons ripen once a year. We press one harvest, the way it has always been done in Japan. Fewer than 50,000 bars. Then we wait for the next autumn. That is what real fruit costs.
Months, not minutes.
The unripe fruit ferments for months. The way Japan has done it for a thousand years. Then it is poured into a glycerin base that holds moisture. The odor comes off. The water stays in.
Everyone wants a shortcut.
Persimmon soap got popular. The copycats came fast. Neon orange bars. Persimmon fragrance. Two for $10. But kakishibu cannot be rushed. We went deep so you never smell it again.

Every ingredient carefully chosen.
Persimmon is strong. It pulls the smell right off your skin, but on its own it leaves skin dry and tight. That is why cheap persimmon bars make you itch. Four ingredients do the work: one to end the smell, three to keep your skin soft.

Pay only if it works.
Use Kakiyu for 60 days. If you do not smell the difference, and the people close to you do not notice it either, email us and we refund every cent. No forms, no return shipping, no hard feelings.
60 days to decide. If you do not smell the difference, it cost you nothing.
Everything else you want to know.
What does it smell like?
Quiet and clean, with a faint natural note from the persimmon. It rinses away and leaves your skin smelling like nothing, so it will never fight your perfume or cologne. If you have been burned by soaps that smell worse than the problem, this is the opposite of that.
How long does one bar last?
Each bar is a full 100g, and lasts about 4 to 6 weeks of daily use. Keep it on a draining soap dish out of standing water and it lasts longer. Most customers pick the multi-bar deal so they never run out mid-month.
Is it for men too?
Yes. Nonenal does not care who you are. Men over 40 produce it just like women do, often more, and it settles into collars and pillows. Plenty of our bars get quietly placed in a husband’s shower. He will not ask questions. It is just soap.
My skin is sensitive. Is this safe for me?
Kakiyu is free from parabens and synthetic dyes, and the glycerin base is gentle enough for daily use on face and body. As with any new product, if you have very reactive skin, test it on your forearm for a day or two first.
Where should I use it?
Once a day in the shower, on the places nonenal builds up the most: behind the ears, the back of the neck, chest, underarms, and the back and shoulders. If you only change one thing about how you wash, wash behind the ears and the back of the neck.
What if it does not work for me?
Then it was free. Use it for up to 60 days. If you do not smell a clear difference, email us and we refund every cent, so the bar cost you nothing. No forms, no return shipping, no hard feelings.
When will I get it?
Kakiyu is made in small batches, so you are reserving a bar from the next one. Your card is charged today and your batch date is shown above the deals on this page. You get tracking by email the day it leaves us. Free shipping on the multi-bar deals.
