Celebrating Japan's triumphant return together
Relais & Châteaux Gala Dinner
レポート
Did you know that "SENSAI", which has received high praise mainly in Europe, made a triumphant return to Japan in 2019? After debuting in 1983, it has been sold at department stores and perfumeries in Europe, the Middle East, and more than 40 countries. Its delicate user experience has continued to be supported by European women, and it has established its position as an irresistible prestige cosmetics product.
SENSAI is an aging care brand that was developed overseas with silk as its keyword. While attracting attention for its first appearance in Japan, the AS series was quickly unveiled in Osaka. This grand gala dinner commemorating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Relais & Châteaux Japan branch will be held at Miraiza Osaka, a historical building in Osaka Castle Park, where celebrities from all over the country will gather.
``Relais & Châteaux'' is a worldwide organization that was established in France in 1954, and only first-class hotels and restaurants that have passed strict screening are allowed to become members. ``Relais & Châteaux'' brought the spirit of France to the world, and ``SENSAI'' made a triumphant return to Japan after receiving high praise mainly in Europe. At the venue, there was a corner imitating the open-air tea ceremony seats and product booths, where the AS series of SENSAI products were displayed.
This magnificent building has a history as the former 4th Division Headquarters Office (formerly the Osaka City Museum).

There will also be a special booth for "SENSAI" inside the venue. A display that looks like an open-air spot.
Guests from overseas also stopped by the special ``SENSAI'' booth and picked up some items.
At the end of the gourmet dinner, a pure white furoshiki wrapper emblazoned with the SENSAI logo was brought to each table. The paulownia wood box exudes elegance when you unwrap it. From among them, a carbonated foam lotion called ``Sensai AS Micro Mousse Treatment S'' appeared. Some guests even put it on their hands and tried it right away, drawing attention to the lotion's thick, cocoon-like foam. It was an unexpected surprise time when you could experience the treatment as it melts into your skin as soon as you press it on your skin.

When I got my hands on it right away, I was surprised by the texture of the foamy lotion.
It was a surprise gift to decorate a memorable gala dinner.
What made this impression and aftertaste even more surprising was the dessert that appeared at the end of the course. “Oeuf à la Neige SENSAI” is created by Asuka Otowa, a pastry chef at Otowa Restaurant, a member of Relais & Châteaux. This is a pale and deep dessert that expresses SENSAI's silky and dense foam with fromage blanc mousse, the refreshing scent with citrus sauce and jelly, and the ephemeral white color with vanilla ice cream. A traditional French dish was prepared in SENSAI's image, and the gourmet feast ended with delicate and beautiful flavors.

The core of SENSAI's skin care is the AS series. Aim for skin with the smooth, sticky feel of "Koishimaru Silk" and an elegant luster with a minimal step of using lotion, emulsion, or cream. Among them, I would like to mention the ``Sensai AS Micro Mousse Treatment S'' as an item that I would especially like to pay attention to. It can be said that it will revolutionize the concept of lotion. When you push it, fine bubbles appear on your palm. When you put the foam on your face and press it gently with your hands, it will melt and spread. Your skin will feel comfortable, moisturized, and have a silky glow. This is a SENSAI signature item that satisfies both your skin and soul with just one lotion.
"SENSAI" has made a triumphant return to Japan as a super prestige brand. It was a gorgeous night to celebrate the triumphant return of a brand that conveys the delicate Japanese aesthetic sense to the skin of women around the world and in Japan, with everything from skin care to makeup items.
