Raw cotton cloth is slowly boiled and bleached over several days, which removes the natural oils and starch and leaves a soft, airy fabric that absorbs water quickly and dries fast. Before paper towels, every Japanese kitchen had a length of sarashi for wiping, straining, wrapping and covering food. Think of it as something between a paper towel and a dish cloth: you can tear off just what you need, then wash it and use it again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4784\/6735\/files\/sasasa-26-10-2.webp\" alt=\"Soft texture of sasasa wazarashi cotton\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout sasasa\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003esasasa is the everyday line of Takeda Sarashi, a cotton bleaching works founded in 1911 in Sakai, Osaka, one of the historic centres of wazarashi production. The name comes from the Japanese sound “sa-sa-sa”, meaning quick and effortless. The brand was designed around three ideas: easy to use, easy to keep within reach, and easy to buy. Takeda Sarashi keeps chemicals and environmental impact to a minimum, so the cloth is safe for use with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll: approx. 35 cm wide × 7 m long (13.8 in × 23 ft), approx. 6.2 cm (2.4 in) in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Free (no perforations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% cotton (wazarashi, bleached oka cotton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan (Sakai, Osaka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashable and reusable.
