Tenkai Shines at PAMM with Unique Bath Salt
On July 4, 2026, the newly established brand
Tenkai made a striking debut at PAMM in Tokyo's Omotesando district with a special pop-up event. This flagship store’s event marked the first showcase of their inaugural product, the
MEIMEI HAKUHAKU sake lees bath salt, set to officially launch later in July.
The 80-year-old renovated traditional house, known as PAMM, provided a charming backdrop for this unique experience.
Tenkai’s focus on self-care and relaxation was further emphasized through the offering of a hand-on experience using a wooden tub, allowing guests to immerse their senses in the aromas and textures of the bath salt.
Immersive Sensory Experience
During the event, visitors had the opportunity to experience MEIMEI HAKUHAKU through hands-on immersion in the wooden tub. The gentle warmth and the soft aroma of sake lees wafting into the air created a soothing atmosphere, enabling guests to imagine their bathing experience with the product. Attendees could purchase a special three-pack and single serving of the bath salt, available at promotional prices, offering an exclusive chance to engage with Tenkai's product before its official release.
Creating a Warm Home Environment
PAMM, a flagship store designed to represent the feeling of home, perfectly aligned with Tenkai's philosophy. The space exudes warmth and comfort, showcasing homewear and enhancing the sensory aspects of everyday life, particularly the ritual of bathing. This harmonious setting offered the ideal stage for attendees to connect with the essence of MEIMEI HAKUHAKU in a familiar yet inviting environment.
Unique Artistic Expression
Adding an artistic touch, the event was adorned with original visuals created by artist
Yuta Niwa, capturing the serene and liberating experience that MEIMEI HAKUHAKU aims to provide. The packaging reflects a blend of Japanese art techniques and modern sensibilities, representing the journey of relaxation that the bath salt promises. Tenkai collaborates with
haru., a creative force, to ensure that the essence of the brand and its products resonate deeply with the audience’s experience.
Insights from the Brand Managers
The brand manager of Tenkai expressed concerns about modern disconnection from bodily awareness, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the moments of bathing as a means to reconnect with one's senses. They aimed to create an experience that evokes genuine feelings and encourages mindfulness in a world dominated by distractions. Attendees noted the pleasant scent and remarkable moisture retention of the sake leaves, aligning perfectly with Tenkai's vision of serenity. These comments affirmed the event's purpose: to provide a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
On the other hand, haru. described how the creative direction aimed to deliver a fresh take on a historical Japanese product, reframing bathing as a “voyage” toward a more mindful and enjoyable experience. Collaboration with PAMM offered Tenkai an organic platform to convey their message, generating a genuine connection between the product and the experiential space.
