Rose Foam Beauty Whip!
I scoured the drugstores at obscure Tokyo subway stops so you don’t have to. This face wash disappears off the shelves as fast as it’s put out, because who WOULDN’T want to wash their face ten times a day when the foam comes out shaped like a rose? (Hey, I know you made extra-long blue poops with your Play Doh Fun Factory too ADMIT IT)

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
I love the Rose foam. Not in US?

Sadly, no. It really is an “only in Japan” thing. If I find that the frenzy has died down when I’m in Japan this spring, I’ll bring you one!
Must try even though I’m not a fan of rose scent. I’ll ask a friend to send me some after the craze is over I couldn’t get the matcha lip cream last time because it was sold out in one single morning all over Kyoto ^^
So typical of these things that are reported by RocketNews & such (><;;) They sell out instantly, except in odd neighborhoods outside Tokyo!
So typical of the Japanese of buying the same thing at the same time whatever the cost too ^^
Honestly, I’m kind of disappointed it isn’t edible. 😐
Clearly you have a future in Japanese marketing!

Does it clean well? The rose is so pretty. I can see why it’s so popular!
To be honest, it’s a bit like washing your face with rose-scented shaving cream. Which isn’t bad, just…a bit odd.
Oh dear…I imagine it leaving a waxy feeling then…
Actually, it’s not waxy, but the foam was really thick and creamy like shaving cream – I’m used to face washes being a thinner foam, so it was a bit disconcerting!
