KAMA-ASA's Kappogi
Overview
A simple design suitable for both professional kitchens and everyday home use
While kappogi aprons were originally developed in the late Meiji to early Taisho period to protect kimono during housework and may carry a somewhat traditional image, KAMA-ASA’s kappogi is designed with a simple, easy-to-move silhouette. It is comfortable to wear in a wide range of settings, from modern restaurant kitchens to everyday home cooking.
A kappogi that can be worn in two ways
This design can be worn as a round-neck pullover, or as a light outer layer by turning the button side to the front.
It can be worn in two ways regardless of gender or setting.
Three Key Features of KAMA-ASA’s Kappogi
Pocket as elbow reinforcement
Inspired by feedback from yakitori chefs who noted that their elbows rub against the sides while skewering or grilling, causing wear, we designed deep pockets that also function as elbow reinforcement.
This helps prevent damage while adding a subtle design accent.
Thoughtful details
Snap buttons are intentionally designed with a slightly loose fit for easy wear and removal.
The buttons are made of metal but covered with fabric to prevent damage to surrounding surfaces.
Roll-up buttons at the cuffs and quick-drying T/C poplin fabric (65% polyester, 35% cotton) provide both functionality and comfort.
Every detail is carefully designed for ease of use.
