Cherry-Scented Ashirila Sheet.
The perfect souvenir from your trip to Japan.

 

 
 
Anybody visiting Japan is certainly going to want something Japanese to take home with them, and it just so happens that Ashirila Sheet, mega popular among foreign tourists, just got a cherry-scented version earlier this year.

With its ultra cute packaging and the sweet smell of cherries, these are sure to relax even the tiredest feet after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. We here at DiGJAPAN! went out and picked ourselves up some to give them a shot.
 

What Is Ashirila Sheet?

Ashirila Sheets contain powdered Japanese bamboo resin that come in many different scents including lavender and rose in addition to a whole assortment of other relaxing aromas.

By sticking one to the sole of your foot, the powdered bamboo resin begins to work its magic on your foot, caring for it by absorbing excess moisture and waste due to its highly absorptive properties.

The most popular scent is lavender (pictured on the left). They even have a mint scent version for men (right).

The version we tried this time was the newest scent released, the cherry-scented Ashirila Scheet. The package features the cutest things Japan has to offer including an apprentice geisha, Mt. Fuji, and cherry blossoms.

Once you’ve put them on your feet, give them a few minutes to start working.

They typically work for about six hours, so we recommend putting them on before bedtime.

Okay, So How Did They Work?

So how did they work after we left them on overnight? When we peeled off the pad, we saw that the sheet had turned black and was all sticky.

30-Packs Are All The Rage!

While the two sheet packs are a popular buy, the 30-packs are also picking up steam! For people who like to use them a lot, buying in bulk will save you a little money. In addition to the standard lavender-scented version, 30-packs of ginger, rose, and other scents were released earlier this year. This time, we went with the cherry-scented 30-pack.
