I don’t know what you call it, exactly: it’s not a bidet, or at least, not merely a bidet. But yes, it sprays hot water on demand to cleanse your nethers.
Anyway, I fell in love (imagine all the toilet paper you’ll save!), but tucked it away as one of those “some day, when I’m outfitting my home indulgently…” things.
And then…Miyabi! Yes, I discovered last night that the (otherwise mediocre) handmade soba noodle spot on 45th street is sporting what looks to be the premium version in their double-yew see. Features include:
- Heated seat
- Heated water on demand, in men’s and women’s directed zones
- Adjustable water pressure and temperature
- Other features, unexplored
Missing: hot air dry. But still.
A full review of the Inax Clessence, as written in 2007, is available here. NSFW, probably.

You think Miyabi is mediocre?! I think it may be the best Japanese food in the city. The soba is excellent- but maybe Americans don’t “get” soba. I don’t know of another restaurant that makes fresh soba in the country much less in Seattle. It’s a very labor intensive process, by the way.
Definitely nobody else that does what they do, but, except for the oysters, I thought my whole meal was “meh”, including the soba noodles. My dinner companion said that this was his second trip there, and he shared my opinion both times.
No accounting for taste…
Keep this up and you’ll ruin your chances for free meals from the local eateries.
Dang. We’ve eaten there six or eight times now and it’s one of our favorites.
I mean the food, not the toilet. The toilet is also awesome.
If Morgan’s on Stone Way can’t order a Toto Washlet for you, then stop by the showroom of Sherman Supply at 300 South Lucile Street, Seattle, WA, 98108. Yes, it is the future, a future without TP! They are pricey though.

There is no way I’d use this. Why do we need to use some foreign toilet? Buy American!
Ha ha, I thought I was the only one excited about those kinds of toilet seats. I got one last year, and it is awesome (TOTO SW502#01 B100 Washlet for Elongated Toilet Bowl). I also go a cheap one from bio bidet that uses cold water, and it is fine too.
I first saw these here about 20 years ago when I was remodeling high end homes. They are wonderful, but to be the most comfortable (some have heated seats) you need to have an electrical outlet near the toilet. So if you want one installed you might need an electrician and a plumber. They cost some money, but in other ways they save on utilities as well.
