Compared to a parasol, a hat means less to carry and makes it much easier to move through busy streets and crowds, so when it comes to sun protection, a simple hat is what we'd recommend.

It might be worth paying a little more attention to the tools you use. At ZUTTO, you'll find artisan-made tea ware that lets you fully savor shincha while it's still in season.

Having "loungewear/pajamas that let you feel just as comfortable as at home" to bring on a trip is important.

From plates suited to celebratory occasions to those that earn their keep in everyday life, let us introduce the charms of meimeizara in a range of sizes.
