What Is Aufguss? – A Popular Heat Wave Sauna Experience at Safi Spa Maiko

Aufguss is a German word meaning “to pour steam.” It is a sauna service in which water or essential oils are poured onto heated sauna stones to create steam, which is then circulated through the room by a sauna master.

Using special towels or fans, the sauna master spreads the heat and steam throughout the sauna, increasing the perceived temperature and providing a deeper sense of relaxation and enhanced sweating benefits.

At Safi Spa Maiko Men’s Sauna, located within Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Aufguss sessions are held regularly and have become a popular attraction among sauna enthusiasts.

Sauna Term Guide: The Origin of “Sa-Meshi” (Post-Sauna Meal) and Our Recommended Restaurant, Arisugawa

In this blog, we introduce the sauna-related term “Sa-Meshi,” which refers to a meal enjoyed after a sauna session.

“Sa-Meshi” is a popular Japanese term created by combining “sauna” (sa) and “meal” (meshi). It refers to food or light snacks enjoyed after a sauna session. Because people lose a significant amount of fluid and energy through sweating in the sauna, it is important to replenish both nutrients and hydration afterward. As a result, meals enjoyed after a sauna are commonly referred to as “Sa-Meshi.”

Among sauna enthusiasts, Sa-Meshi is considered an essential part of the overall sauna experience and is often enjoyed as a reward after relaxing in the sauna.

Arisugawa, located with in Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe, is also a highly recommended choice for Sa-Meshi (a meal enjoyed after a sauna session).

After a sauna session, treat yourself to a relaxing meal at Arisugawa. Enjoy dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients, offering a truly rewarding experience that satisfies not only the body but also the senses.

Another highlight is the calm atmosphere and attentive service that only a hotel restaurant can provide, allowing guests to enjoy a level of comfort and relaxation that is difficult to find at other sauna facilities.
