CHEF de BEAUTÉ (シェフドボーテ), a skincare brand from Momotani Juntenkan (株式会社桃谷順天館), headquartered in Osaka, will hold its second limited-time pop-up shop at JR Kyoto Isetan (ジェイアール京都伊勢丹) from Wednesday, November 4 to Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The pop-up offers a range of experiences that respond to the skin changes of autumn and let visitors discover their own sense of "comfort" (心地よさ) with all five senses. Highlights include the Hand Cream Tailoring Experience (ハンドクリームお仕立て体験), which is very popular at the brand's Kyoto flagship store, and a Personal Skincare Experience (パーソナルスキンケア体験) that uses AI skin diagnosis. A limited-quantity set called "Koyuki no Furoshiki" (小雪の風呂敷), put together by brand ambassador Koyuki, will also go on sale.
Hand Cream Tailoring Experience (No Reservation Required)
This experience draws queues at the flagship store, CHEF de BEAUTÉ kyoto (シェフドボーテ京都). At the pop-up, it can be enjoyed at a venue directly connected to Kyoto Station, with no reservation required.
Visitors choose the texture, scent, and packaging that feel comfortable to them, and an experienced "beauty chef" (美の料理人) tailors a one-of-a-kind hand cream right in front of them. The result is a texture that syncs with the skin and a scent that harmonizes with the heart, with even the lingering afterglow left up to the visitor. Visitors are invited to try a new kind of "comfort" with delicate fingertips that can feel a difference of just 13nm.
Personal Skincare Experience (Reservations Preferred, Free)
Visitors remove their makeup from the eyes down, and a high-performance AI skin diagnosis analyzes fine skin concerns that are hard to see in a mirror. Based on the current condition of the skin, a skincare recipe is tailored to the individual, and a skin treatment lets visitors feel CHEF de BEAUTÉ skincare on their own skin. Makeup is retouched before visitors leave.
※ For reservation details, see the reservation information page.
"Koyuki no Furoshiki" Set in Limited Quantities
Brand ambassador Koyuki has chosen CHEF de BEAUTÉ skincare items for her own sense of comfort, along with rare fermented teas that are among the "endangered teas" (絶滅危惧茶). A special set wraps them in an original furoshiki (wrapping cloth). It goes on sale in limited quantities, offering a chance to enjoy a "moment of comfort" chosen through Koyuki's own experience.
Other Events and Limited Items
Two limited kits that can be purchased only at JR Kyoto Isetan will also be available. The "O-Bi-Kuji" experience (お美くじ体験) and the "Kyoto Beauty Tour Stamp Rally" (京都美めぐりスタンプラリー), both popular at the previous pop-up, will be held again.
With autumn deepening and skin changes becoming noticeable day by day, the pop-up invites visitors to come and tailor a sense of comfort of their own.
