The Origin of Oshibori
The oshibori (Oshibori, Oshibori, or Oshibori) is a a small hot towel given to customers in restaurants or bars in Japan to dry their hands. It is also used during formal meals.
It was during the Edo period, Edo jidai 江戸時代, that the word oshibori was first used. It was then a piece of cloth soaked in a bucket of water that was offered to travelers to help them recover from the fatigue of the journey. By twisting it (from the Japanese verb *shiboru* 絞る) to wring it out, the expression oshibori remained.
