Actress Koyuki, who serves as a brand ambassador for the skincare brand "CHEF de BEAUTÉ," visited "CHEF de BEAUTÉ kyoto," the brand's first five-senses experiential flagship store. On April 29 (Wednesday), the day of its grand opening, Koyuki spent a moment away from the noise of information, returning to her own senses amidst the unique tranquility of Kyoto.
■ A place to pause and return to oneself
Stepping through the door, the bustling sounds of Nishiki Market receded, and soft light and silence slowly enveloped the space.
CHEF de BEAUTÉ kyoto is a place designed for guests to step away from information overload and the constant search for answers, allowing them to experience the brand's philosophy of "hadakiki" (listening to the skin) with all five senses.
■ "A special time to face myself" - The Hand Cream Tailoring Experience
On this day, Koyuki experienced the "hand cream tailoring experience," which focuses on the hands, said to be the most sensitive of the senses.
Before her lay three textures served on Kiyomizu ware mamemono (small plates), a traditional Kyoto craft.
Koyuki intuitively explored each texture with her fingertips, guided by what she "somehow liked," rather than specifications or trends. The moment she chose a velvet-like texture and applied it to her hands, a sense of relaxation visibly washed over her face.
Next, she selected a scent, using a "scenery" that resonated with her current mood as a clue.
"What kind of scenery connects with a scent that truly feels right for me now?"
As she gently listened to her sense of smell and concentrated on the aroma, slowly exhaling, she felt her mind and body gradually align.
"It's a wonderfully relaxing scent. The time spent choosing itself is enjoyable."
The package for the finished cream was chosen in a Hojicha (roasted green tea) color, inspired by Kyoto. Each time she picks it up, it will serve as a reminder of the small scenes of that day and her own pace, a uniquely tailored item.
"Perhaps having this time to face myself and care for myself leads to true beauty."
The hand cream tailoring experience in Kyoto became a moment to discover the essence of beauty.
