High Quality Drawstring Bag, Perfect for Onsen and Sento – MOCHIBAG!!

Have you heard about the “Mochibag”? The highly functional drawstring bag from KICKSTARTER

I’ve been sick since last December and am still having a hard time recovering (it’s already April…).

With hope of kicking my immune system back into action, I am here in Hokkaido for some balneotherapy (hot spring cure).

I love onsen (hot spring) but this is the first time I’m going to be spending time in one for a week!

What kind of bag do you take to an onsen or a sento (public bath)?

Things that you might want to bring with you are:

• towel
• coins for locker
• water
• shampoo, soap
• phone, wallet, etc

That’s pretty much it right?

I used to use a random plastic bag until I found this awesome drawstring bag.

It’s called the MOCHIBAG!

What’s so good about it?

It is:

• durable!
• easy to use!!
• looks great!!!

MOCHIBAG is an American brand that came out of KICKSTARTER.

Today, I’ll be introducing the MOCHIBAG.

MOCHIBAG – NEW ORSO BLACK mochi Slim Size

Size

The model that I got is called the NEW ORSO BLACK mochi Slim Size.

The Slim Size measures at 43cm x 35cm and is a perfect bag for an onsen/sento.

Let’s get everything into the bag.

Easy to get things in and out of the bag because it’s a drawstring bag

The bag opens up wide.

There’s a small pocket with a zipper on the side, perfect for coins, keys, phones and stuff like that.

Fits snugly in a dressing room basket.

Here is a side by side with the Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L so you can get an idea of how big the mochi is.

The MOCHIBAG is easy to carry

The straps on the side connect to become a handle.

The cords are easy to grip too.

There’s even a whistle.

The material used on the MOCHIBAG is super durable

The material and cords seem like they’ll last a life time.

The outside of the bag is water resistant.

If the inside of the bag should get dirty, you can easily turn the bag inside-out and wash it.

The MOCHIBAG is just a useful bag to have around

Other than taking it to the onsen/sento, I use the MOCHIBAG when going to the golf driving range or just to the nearby convenience store.

You can fold up the MOCHIBAG and take it with you on trips.

It becomes useful when you go down to the beach or when you want to explore the city and don’t want to be carrying a large bag.

You can use it backpack style too.

MOCHIBAG weakpoints

I really like my MOCHIBAG and I can only think of one weakpoint.

It’s expensive!

It cost me $67.75, including shipping to Japan.

7000 Yen for a drawstring bag is pretty steep.

But when you consider that it’s going to last a life time, maybe it’s justifiable!

Where can you get the MOCHIBAG?

You can get the MOCHIBAG directly from their WEBSITE.

They have different models so it’s just fun looking and comparing the different bags.
