Concept

Wrapped
in rice bran.

Rice bran and water. Nothing else.
Tended by hand, in wooden tubs.

The bath at osjo is 100% rice bran. We add no enzyme cultures or enzyme liquids — just bran and water, fermented by hand. You lie on your back in a wooden tub, and our staff cover you in rice bran from head to toe. Around your face too, if you like.

You stay in the bran for about 15–20 minutes. Afterwards, rinse it off in the shower and rest on the sofa behind reception with something to drink. First time? We'll walk you through every step, starting with how to get into the tub.

No added enzyme cultures or liquids. Only rice bran and water, fermented and tended by hand.

02

Tubs of wood and straw

Our tubs are made of wood, with straw wrapped around the sides. The rice bran ferments naturally inside them.

Homemade amazake before you go in

Before the bath, a shot glass of our homemade amazake — a sweet, non-alcoholic rice drink. Take a breath, then into the bran.
