During the sake production process, the liquid extracted from the unrefined sake goes on to be used as the well-known alcoholic beverage. The remaining residue becomes the sake-kasu (sake-lees).The nutrients left over from the yeast that remain in the sake-kasu make it an incredible health food as well as a potent natural skin care ingredient. BENEFITS:- Contains kojic acid, a by-product from the sake fermentation. Sake-kasu is rich in kojic acid, vitamin D, vitamin B1 and other nutrients that inhibit the performance of melanin, the main culprit of sun spots, age spots, and freckles- Sake-kasu baths have incredible moisturizing and heat-retention effects- Sake is an excellent skin toner that has been used for centuries in Japan- Drinking sake-kasu as a hot drink may lessen the severity of certain allergic reactions- Contains ferulic acids, a powerful UV light absorber that helps prevent skin aging- Contains dietary fibers that may help strengthen the digestive systemMade in Japan
For a relaxing sake-kasu bath, sprinkle 1-2 sticks of powder(10g in each stick) into a full bathtub. Stir the water thoroughly and enjoy.To create a calming sake-kasu face mask, take 1 tbsp of sake-kasu powder and place into 2 tbsp of water (creating a 1:2 ratio). Stir the mixture into a paste and gently apply the paste on the face (avoiding the eye area). Leave on for 5-7 minutes and rinse well with lukewarm water.For a hot, soothing beverage, mix 2 tsp of sake-kasu powder in hot water and add a small slice of ginger and honey or maple syrup to tase. You can also use the sake-kasu in various recipes including dishes like kasujiru (sake-kasu soup), pickles, and desserts.

"Nunca había probado una mascarilla igual. Dejo mi piel como nueva, super fresca e hidratada!! Me fascino"
"In my next order I'll stock up on this. It has the stereotypical sake kasu odor, but I like that scent a lot. Just fermented rice flour scent, but it doesn't linger. I find this to be a truly excellent face masque to even your skin tone, purge pores, exfoliate, and heal/prevent acne. It has the same effects on your body when used in the bath. It leaves you skin as soft as can be and beautifully lustrous. It definitely has anti-aging properties. I especially like that this sake kasu is freeze-dried so the nutrients stay preserved. It's the only alcohol-free version I've found, so if you're sensitive to that, this product is what you've been looking for! I'm in year 2 of MCAS recovery and this does not trigger symptoms. If you have histamine intolerance, I'd use this carefully/sparingly. No perfumes here, just the real deal! Such a treat to find outside of Japan. The quality is truly excellent."
"I was very curious to try this as a mask, and I have to say it was quite interesting ..in a good way. It does have a bit of a yeast smell, but I did not find it unpleasant. I was cautious since I have sensitive skin, slight tingling but no issues. I rinsed it off and It felt like my skin was plumper, softer with a little texture change, dry patches were exfoliated, but no dryness. My one comment is on the directions, I could use 1/2 to 1/3rd of the quantity recommended for the face mask…I plan to purchase this again. Have not used it in the bath ."
"I really like this! Be aware that it has a very yeast-y smell. It surprised me at first but I ended up liking it."
"This is my first order and my daughter and I love it as a face mask."
"I was surprised to find that you get two sealed packs of the powder in this package, which makes it a better deal than I thought. And the packaging is practically but very pretty. The experience isn’t over the top— I have a big bathtub so I used both packets and still didn’t notice much of a scent. There’s no color or added scent as far as I could tell, so it might not be for people who like a really indulgent bath, but it was still very pleasant and my skin felt nicely moisturized afterwards."
"I won’t lie that the smell is a bit strong as it is a sake ferment powder, but boy does it make the skin oh so soft. I put some in the tub with me and the rest on my face... I usually add powdered milk to my bath, this is a notch up!"
"Works great! I used as both a face mask and I added to my bubble bath. I have been using weekly and I notice a much better texture on my face. Thank you Smallflower for bringing great products!!!!"
