Stay Warm This Winter - Get Cozy from Your Feet with “Bi-Onkatsu”

As the cold season approaches, keeping your hands and feet warm and managing the cold indoors is an important part of self-care, known as “Onkatsu” (warming activities). Especially in winter, cold feet can easily affect blood circulation and metabolism throughout the body, leading to discomforts such as feeling sluggish or having trouble sleeping due to the cold.
At times like these, I recommend the “Bi-Onkatsu” series, which is also available at Sound House!
The Bi-Onkatsu series features items designed with the goal to be as comparable to a hot water bottle, gentle, gradual warming, and building a body that resists cold. The lineup includes socks, leg warmers, and other goods that allow you to easily warm up just by wearing them.

Let’s take a look at this winter’s top selling items!

Manzoku Bi-Onkatsu: Double-Layer Hot Water Bottle Leg Warmers – Brown

The leg warmers are double-knitted and feature heat-generating threads on the inside, giving warmth as if you were holding a hot water bottle. Its thin design makes it convenient to wear under clothing when going out. Perfect for chilly mornings in the living room or as a way to keep out the cold while at home. Highly recommended for DTMer work sessions as well!

Styling Manzoku Bi-Onkatsu: Mugwort Leg Warmers

These leg warmers are treated with mugwort oil, providing a warm and relaxing sensation similar to a mugwort steam bath. They gently wrap around cold-prone legs, promoting circulation and keeping your feet and legs toasty. Ideal for before bedtime or relaxing at home (´꒳`).

They fully wrap from the ankle to the calf, and with heat-generating threads inside, the warmth spreads over your legs gently the moment you put them on. Available in sizes 25–27 cm and in subdued colors like navy and charcoal. They’re perfect to wear while practicing guitar at home☆

Manzoku Bi-Onkatsu: Double-Layer Bedding Socks

These thick, cozy socks provide a feeling as if you were wrapped in a comforter. Warmth spreads gradually from your feet throughout your body, making them ideal for relaxing on especially cold nights. They can also be layered, making them perfect for those prioritizing warmth. Plus, they’re so cute!

Why is Onkatsu gaining so much attention?

In recent years, the idea that “coldness = the root of all illnesses” and “being cold is bad for both beauty and health” has spread awareness, bringing attention to Onkatsu. For those, especially women, who suffer from cold sensitivity, chilly hands and feet in winter, general discomfort, or stress, easy-to-use warming items can be your best measure against the cold. Many people report that just adding one more pair of socks or warming the calves with leg warmers improves blood circulation and changes how warm their entire body feels.
By improving the cold throughout your body, you can also expect health benefits such as better sleep quality and reduced fatigue caused by winter chill.

Make your winter more comfortable with “Bi-Onkatsu”

The “Bi-Onkatsu” series are all items that make warming your body easy — you just wear them. The affordable prices are another plus, making them perfect for anyone wanting to try just one pair first.
Of course, soaking in a hot bath or using heating devices like a kotatsu or stove is also important, but for those who struggle with cold sensitivity, spend a lot of time at home, or find their feet get cold even in a warm bed, I highly recommend adding this feet warming socks to your usual heating routines!

Stay warm everyone!
