People often say, "A good cook cleans up their own mess." However, it is not uncommon to feel the loss of time and the stress that comes from wiping dishes, glasses and other kitchen chores.

You may have favorite tableware that cannot be used in the dishwasher or that you choose to hand wash carefully to preserve its quality. While simple in concept, wiping dishes can be tiring, requiring you to stand in the kitchen for extended periods. Naturally, you want to complete the task quickly, efficiently and without wasting your precious time.

BIRDY.’s towels were born from this very challenge, a fusion of thoughtful ideas and Japanese craftsmanship created in response to the quiet demands of the kitchen.

Yokoyama Kogyo Co., Ltd., founded in 1951 in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, initially specialized in the manufacture of precision automotive parts. In 2013, the company launched a new business division responsible for planning, designing, producing, and selling a fresh-concept cocktail shaker brand called BIRDY.™. This innovative brand combines Yokoyama Kogyo’s advanced manufacturing technologies with meticulous craftsmanship, quickly gaining global recognition among top bartenders, including those at prestigious bars like The Savoy’s American Bar in London.

Building on this foundation, BIRDY. introduced BIRDY. Supply in 2018, a new line developed over two years with input from experts in the restaurant and bar industry. This line features high-performance products such as the BIRDY. Kitchen Towel and BIRDY. Glass Towel, designed to meet the demanding needs of professionals who handle large volumes of glassware and tableware daily.

All manufacturing processes are conducted entirely in Japan. The phrase “All processed in Japan” embodies BIRDY.’s philosophy and mission to pursue high quality and added value, creating unprecedented products through innovative craftsmanship.

When you have to wipe down a pile of freshly washed tableware still dripping with water, even the sight of stacked kitchen towels can make you sigh. People often say, “A good cook cleans up their own mess,” yet it’s not uncommon to feel the stress and time lost from wiping dishes, glasses, and other kitchen chores.

The BIRDY. Kitchen Towel is a high-quality dish towel developed based on feedback from professionals who handle large volumes of dishes and glasses every day. Its exceptional absorbency allows you to wipe several plates in a row with ease, reducing the burden of cleanup. It is also versatile enough for a wide range of items, from dishes to pots and pans. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it, making it a favorite among repeat users.

The BIRDY. Glass Towel was developed based on feedback from professionals such as bartenders and sommeliers who polish over 100 glasses a day. By blending just the right amount of polyester into high-quality microfiber, this towel achieves a soft, gentle texture that’s kind to your hands while minimizing lint. It glides smoothly over glass surfaces and offers a slight stretch for ease of use, helping to protect the hands of professionals during long hours of work.

Thanks to its stitch-free design, it leaves no marks or fibers behind and allows for fast, flawless polishing. What used to take three wipes can now be done in one, leaving glasses sparkling with a single pass. Even when damp, its capillary structure enables it to retain excellent absorbency. The microscopic gaps between the fibers draw in moisture quickly and efficiently, making it a reliable tool for busy environments. Perfect for handmade and delicate glassware, the BIRDY. Glass Towel helps you care for your favorite pieces with ease and confidence.

The BIRDY. Polishing Cloth brings a new level of cleanliness and comfort to kitchen and dining spaces. Developed in response to input from industry experts, this cloth quickly and thoroughly removes grease, water spots, and dust using ultra-fine microfiber.

Durable, soft, and easy to handle, the cloth offers reliable performance for everyday cleaning, making it a trusted companion for maintaining a spotless kitchen environment.
