Unveiling a new ear cleansing lotion from JUBI LAB, tackling three common ear concerns with a refreshing, playful spirit.

JUBI LAB, a brand under Two-Way World Inc., is set to launch its innovative ear cleansing lotion, “Mimi Samurai,” designed to combat common ear discomforts such as itchiness from dryness and unwanted odors. This new product will be available from November 27, 2025, across variety shops, drugstores nationwide, and through Two-Way World’s official EC site.

The “Mimi Samurai” offers a novel approach to ear hygiene, transforming a routine task into a refreshing experience. It is priced at 880 JPY (excluding tax), or 968 JPY (including tax) for a 30mL bottle.

A Fresh Take on Ear Care

The “Mimi Samurai” is designed for ease of use. Simply apply the lotion to a cotton swab or tissue and gently clean the desired areas. The formula delivers a sharp, long-lasting menthol coolness, leaving ears feeling clean, refreshed, and invigorated. This sensation is described as the “Samurai’s refreshing breeze,” turning daily ear care into a pleasant ritual.

Key features of the “Mimi Samurai” include:

    • Elevated Home Ear Cleaning: It provides a simple yet premium ear cleaning experience at home.

    • Odor Combatant: Ideal for daily ear cleaning and post-bath care, it helps remove sebum and dirt, which are common sources of odor, promoting a relaxed and clean feeling.

    • Invigorating Menthol Sensation: The menthol provides an immediate cooling effect, followed by a refreshing afterglow that users will find addictive—truly a “Samurai’s wipe.”

    • Japanese Wisdom for Healthy Ears: Incorporating “Wanochie” (Japanese wisdom), the formula includes skin-conditioning ingredients to soothe, moisturize, and tighten the skin around the ears, promoting overall ear health. These ingredients include persimmon tannin extract, tea dry distillate, and licorice (glycyrrhizinic acid).

Here’s how to use it in two simple steps:

  • Saturate a cotton swab with the lotion.

Inspiration from Edo-Era “Earwax Removers”

The concept behind “Mimi Samurai” is deeply rooted in Japanese history, drawing inspiration from the professional “earwax removers” who existed during the Edo period. The product planning team at JUBI LAB shared their vision: “We were inspired by the playful and sophisticated spirit of these Edo-era professionals and wanted to infuse that into a modern product. The Samurai motif represents our desire for the product to be a ‘hero’ that decisively addresses ear concerns. We’ve scattered small, amusing details throughout, like the ear-shaped packaging and wordplay on the product page. Daily care often feels like a chore, but by adding ‘fun’ and ‘story,’ we aim to elevate it into a premium experience.” The team emphasizes that while the appearance is humorous, the content is genuinely effective, offering a “premium ear cleaning experience” infused with Edo’s charm and playfulness.
