We are approaching the coldest time of the year 2024.
This is Sakemaru.
The coldest period of the year is the coldest period of the year.
That is so true.
It's going to get really cold this week...
Here are some very tasty items.
At the end of the year, I received a huge package from a friend living on Oshima Island.
Wondering what it was, I opened it and...
Huge natural wild yam!
It's a luxury item that would probably easily cost tens of thousands of yen if you bought it.
It took half a day to prepare at the beginning of the year.
Such a luxury item,
I had never cooked by myself before, so it was difficult...
I grated it and ate it without any problems.
Some are fried in a frying pan.
It's called pinpinyaki.
It's absolutely delicious!
I don't think I'll ever be able to eat food like this again.
During the coldest time,
I'm happy to be able to eat something that gives me energy.
Now.
Since it's the coldest day of the year,
Here are some items that are perfect for that! 
In fact, the outerwear for the coldest season has been...
fur!
This painting was on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in November 1929.
It depicts five middle-aged men clad in furs.
Nowadays, fur is associated with gorgeous women, but...
In the 1920s and 1930s, it was widely worn by men as well.
It can be worn as a coat over a suit, as in this picture, or
It was also sometimes worn as cold weather clothing for hunting.
Such coats are mainly called "raccoon coats",
Nowadays it is rare to see them even in vintage form.
Raccoon actually means "raccoon"...
In fact, raccoon dogs are also called "raccoon dogs."
It was confusing because both furs were called "raccoon coats"...
Since the 1970s, fur has been preserved from the perspective of animal protection.
Nowadays, most of it is fake fur.
that's why…
It's been a while since I've had a good fake fur, so I decided to plan and produce it.
Dry Bones faux fur raccoon coat! 
The length is half length,
Of course, it's oversized and can also be worn as an overcoat. 
The collar is a classic shawl collar.
The front buttons are the same as a duffle coat.
Toggle button.
The advantage of this button is
"It's easy to button and unbutton with your gloved hands."
That's it.
In other words, buttons that are useful for clothes in extremely cold weather.
By the way, the first button is also made of buffalo horn, just like the toggle button.
It is a high quality material.
Inside… 
Cupra lining with fully quilted finish.
Ultra cold weather specifications.
If the length is long it will look something like this... 
This is cool in its own way, but
I wanted it to be a bit more casual so I kept the length short.
In fact, this fake fur coat,
It is also a rehash of a previous Dry Bones product.
This is it. 
This jacket was made over 20 years ago.
I personally really like it,
I often wore it to various places.
And I was always told...
"What's this? Vintage? Oh, is it Dry Bones?"
"Do you still have it in stock?"
"When are you going to make a new one?" etc.
There were a lot of requests for it to be restocked .
However…
Faux fur is very expensive in its original form .
Moreover,
Because it is a bulky fabric, the vast majority of it comes in short rolls.
I'm good at finding cheap short rolls of fabric...
The short faux fur from the start
It is almost never available cheaply.
As a result, for over 20 years I was unable to find a fabric that was worth the price.
This time, it was truly by chance that I came across a short roll of fabric!
On the other hand, because it was so short, we couldn't produce a lot of it (lol)
So, although it is inexpensive, it is produced in very small quantities.
During the coldest times of the year, it's nice to have a super warm jacket.
Please hurry.
and.
At Shinmei Farm, a business I run separately from Dry Bones...
Our main item is processed, produced and sold tea leaves called "cinnamon leaf tea."
Thanks to you, we sold quite a lot during the New Year holidays... 
We are currently in the process of production!
This photo shows the process of sealing the bags after they have been packed.
The outside of this bag is made of kraft paper,
The inside is made of aluminum,
Perfect for packaging this type of tea leaves (although very expensive).
It also comes with a zipper so that the flavor can be maintained for a long time after purchase.
People who have bought it have said things like, "It's delicious!", "It's refreshing!", and "The portion is easy to use!"
Anyway, it's very popular!
It is also available at Dry Bones directly managed stores ,
Please try it if you like.
see you!
