I'd be quite disappointed if it's gone for good.

Passing through NRT twice in the past week, we went to RCC en route to ICN and ANA lounge on the way back. RCC amenity kit is quite nice: round bar of soap, H20 shampoo and conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, etc. ANA lounge has only packaged soap, shampoo, conditioner. Nice stuff, but not as nice as RCC amenities, IMO.
Slightly OT, but there is a lot of invidious comparison of RCC and ANA lounges from time to time. ANA has a really great noodle stand and an area to lay back and rest or sleep, but apart from those features, RCC is generally the better lounge IMO. Larger, more newspapers, more and better plugs for laptops.

I like the shower room better in the ANA lounge, however the shower kit pulled me into the RCC. If the kit is gone I'll just while away my layovers in the ANA lounge. Udon noodles, beer and sake are great companions.

The nice H2O shower kits at NRT RCC are still being provided. As to my usual routine, shower at RCC then hop to ANA for some udon (yum!)

In contrast, I finish the small RCC H2O bottles on short trips or at home, excellent stuff indeed. Nothing wasted.
That's my new routine too given sufficient layover time. Quite a rush running between gates 31 and 38, but just think about the noodle, the simple yet very tasty maki sushi, the sake bar...

No Kit on 5/2
I am waiting for a shower right now but there are no kits. You can grab stuff from a basket at the desk and shampoo, soap, etc. are apparently in the showers

My visit on 4/29 consisted of little plastic baskets with different items, but no kits. There was a razor/shaving cream package, toothbrush package, and maybe one more. The shampoo/conditioner and shower gel was in the room. It would have been nice to get a kit, but it makes sense to keep things separate as pax can take whatever they require and not throw out the things they don't want. No complaints here. Although to be fair, I never went through NRT and showered with the old kits.

NRT RCC - Murad shower kits yet?
I'm at the NRT ANA Lounge right now waiting for my AC flight (delayed by 3 hrs
).
Just wondering whether I should head over to the RCC for a shower.
The last time I was there (last month) they still had unbranded shower products.
Has the Murad kit made it yet? Or are they still using the same unbranded products?

As of May, they still had the old kits.. I'm sure somebody that has been there recently can update you.
