Junmaishu Sake Lees Soap

High-quality Japanese sake moisturizing soap

There are many things you can do with sake besides the obvious. Anyone who knows how to cook Japanese food will tell you that sake is one of the four essentials that give local cuisine its flavor. Anyone who knows about Shintoism, Japan's indigenous religion, will tell you sake is one of the major elements in Shinto ceremonies. And anyone who knows about Japanese cosmetology will tell you that sake lees are used in various beauty products. The Junmaishu Sake Lees Soap is one such product, which you can use as both a regular soap and a special skincare beauty soap!

Good for any skin type and gentle on dry and sensitive skin, Junmaishu Sake Lees Soap leaves you feeling moisturized, refreshed, and healthy. The "junmaishu" in its name refers to junmai sake, one of the highest-quality kinds of sake you can find in Japan and in this soap, as in the sake, features only the purest rice and water – no additives or artificial substances. It takes about 60 days to make this soap using know-how that its maker, Sasaki Sake Brewery from Miyagi Prefecture, has been amassing for over 120 years. You will notice the results on your skin the moment you start using it!
