Activity

Customize to your liking! Original rice bran sock-making activity

You can choose your color/size/design in advance to make the socks of your choice. The base material of the socks is made of rice bran fiber, a proprietary material developed by Suzuki Socks. Rice bran fiber is a unique moist fiber that utilizes the rice bran expelled during rice polishing.

Sock factory tour

You will observe the sock manufacturing process.

Sewing machine experience (toe stitching) with Rosso

You will sew the toes of socks customized to your liking with a sewing machine. The staff will carefully explain the process, so children and those who are not good with sewing machines do not need to worry.

Video tour of the sock making process (English and Simplified Chinese)

This video describes the manufacturing process of our original rice bran socks (from yarn to completed socks). Please enjoy the unique manufacturing process of rice bran fiber, as well as how the socks are made.
