<I>Oshibori</I> is a small wet towel to wipe hands before meal in Japan. Most of researches on <I>oshibori</I> have investigated the towels from the perspective of cleaning and sanitation. Few studies have assessed the qualitative and sensory characteristics associated with <I>oshibori</I>. In this paper, subjective evaluation experiments were carried out using cotton <I>oshibori</I> of different temperatures such as 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 °C in the laboratory temperature at 20, 25 and 30 °C over four seasons. 29 males and 33 females evaluated <I>oshibori</I> on following properties such as “favorite,” “rare,” “hot,” “feel-smooth,” “high-grade,” “comfortable,” “soft,” and “moist,” according to five point grading. As results, the <I>oshibori</I> at the temperature of 5, 15, 45 and 60 °C were evaluated to be comfortable. Contrary, those of 30 and 75 °C were evaluated uncomfortable. Moreover, sexual specificity of the evaluation was observed.
