Didn't realize they differentiate the amenities - I'm not a fan of the practice, even if it is common. For anyone interested, the suites have the Le Labo bar soap common to PHs and then a exclusive product collaboration with edit(h) tokyo for the liquid products (also not a fan of exclusives either, although FS Kyoto does the same thing).

I did a double take on my welcome amenity as well, as I just assumed it was mochi. It was actually roasted black soybeans coated in various flavored powders from Uchiwaya, a confectioner just down the street.
