Tamanohada’s Welcome Soap is a handcrafted, plant-based bar that comes on a rope and is sculpted into the shape of a tai sea bream – a traditional Japanese symbol of prosperity and good fortune. Made in Tokyo using natural, RSPO-certified plant oils and poured into traditional wooden moulds, each soap transforms from a creamy lather into a silky, milky wash on contact with water. Gentle on skin and subtly scented, it’s as beautiful to use as it is to display — and arrives boxed for gifting.
Choose from three distinctive scents: Muscovado (dark brown sugar with a floral whisper), Pomegranate (fresh and fruit-forward with lemon oil and mint), or Lily of the Valley (delicate and green).
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
-
Thoughtful Japanese craftsmanship: shaped like a tai fish to evoke luck and hospitality, finished by hand, and presented in a beautiful gift-ready box.
-
Vegan & eco-friendly: crafted from RSPO-certified plant oils with no animal ingredients; traditional wooden moulds and hand-finishing help minimize waste.
-
Functional & decorative: rope allows the soap to hang and dry between uses — and once finished, it doubles as a charming decorative object.
-
Subtle, elegant fragrance: available in three distinct scents to suit every preference.
