Shizuku Technical Water Sponges
- Extremely high-tech sponge created by scientists
- Absorbs up to 150ml of water
These are highly absorbent sponges which are created to absorb water. They are usually used in the kitchen, next to a sink, or around the house. Your sponge can absorb and hold up to 150ml of water.
This sponge series is originated from a Japanese technology group, that has been developing super absorbent materials for more than 60 years.
While making products that support high-tech industries where the high quality technology is also required, the engineer team has asked themselves this question: Can this state-of-the-art technology be useful for everyone in their daily lives? The result is the brand new creation of this wonderful and charming form, that had never existed before in sponges.
Size: φ80×100mm
Capacity: can absorb up to 150ml of water
Before usage:
- When using the product for the first time, or after it has dried up, make it soft and moist first by rinsing it with water.
- The slightly coloured water that comes from the material is not unusual. As the product is hand-crafted, slight changes in colour or form can occur but this does not affect the product’s functional efficacy.
- Product becomes solid when dried
- Place product on water where you want to remove, and absorb by pushing the product
- Clean product after usage to protect it from mold
- Please kindly avoid to use this sponge for cleaning dirty dishes, the product is designed to absorb water only

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it. Good packaging and design is always and added joy to find!
