Wait!
Sake brewery as well as skincare haul all at the same time?
Yep. Totally possible if y'all alive inwards Japan.
Sake based skincare has been or as well as then for a long time, fifty-fifty since earlier SK-II patented their Pitera.
And inwards recent years at that spot has been a virtual explosion of sake-inspired, sake-infused, sake-blended, as well as sake-based cosmetics. At to the lowest degree inwards Japan.
Why? Because sake is virtually everywhere here, sake by-products are total of vitamins as well as anti-ageing compounds, as well as fermented products are in all likelihood ane of the oldest beauty treatments known to man.
Kuramoto Bijin rice crude as well as sake serum (the cherry-red one) has been my friend since finally year. I loved it as well as then much that I began to spread the joy to my friends inwards unusual lands.
H5N1 few weeks agone I was finally getting ready to write virtually it (and equally always, the review is withal pending) as well as had the woman bring upward of all eureka moments.
Tonoike Sake Brewery that makes the production is literally downwardly the street from my house. It's located in Mashiko inwards Tochigi prefecture.
H5N1 quick expression at the company's website revealed that the brewery is really visitor friendly.
You didn't bring to say me that twice.
And as well as then finally Mon I hopped inwards the machine as well as zoomed over to Mashiko.
Mashiko is famous inwards its ain correct - it's ane of the principal pottery centers inwards Japan. It holds ii pottery festivals a twelvemonth as well as if you're into expensive tableware as well as pretty things, y'all should definitely consider visiting.
I don't quaff alcohol. I dip my natural language inwards sake exclusively during official ceremonies when it absolutely, positively can't locomote avoided. I am no sake expert. I exclusively know what wikipedia tells me.
But what I practise know is that face pack.
With that inwards mind, I had no thought what I could await during my see to Tonoike Shuzouten inwards Mashiko.
As it turned out, I worried needlessly. H5N1 see to a sake brewery is corking fun fifty-fifty for a non-drinker as well as a sake noob similar me.
I was met past times Mr Shigeki Tonoike, the boss himself, who kindly volunteered to locomote my guide.
The Tonoike draw solid unit of measurement has been making sake inwards Tochigi prefecture since 1829 as well as the brewery inwards Mashiko was established past times Mr Tonoike's (the electrical flow boss's) gramps inwards 1937.
And apparently, equally evidenced past times numerous domestic as well as international sake contest awards, the Tonoike draw solid unit of measurement actually knows their stuff.
My tour started alongside a video explaining the sake making process.
After that I donned exceptional slippers, a white smock as well as a chapeau as well as went to encounter the fermenting rice upward closed as well as personal.
What makes sake exceptional is how the rice is polished. The to a greater extent than of the outer layer y'all remove, the fancier the sake afterward on.
When polished as well as washed, the grains don't expression similar rice anymore. They resemble tiny white pearls. And are only equally shiny.
And hither y'all tin give the axe encounter it fermenting inwards huge vats:
There's your sake beingness made. And cosmetics :-)
Actually Tonoike Shuzouten doesn't industry beauty products in-house. Instead they post their raw materials to proper, licensed plants that practise the operate for them. They also operate alongside cosmetic chemists as well as scientists to construct certain that their products are upward to the highest standards.
Mr Tonoike explained that the cosmetic side of things started 10 years agone alongside soap.
Sake bottles are heavy, as well as spell they construct corking gifts as well as souvenirs, they are big as well as difficult to transport. And non everyone is a drinker.
Sake based lather seemed similar a perfect solution. It was small, lite as well as something that everyone uses.
Then came sake-infused manus cream. And allow me say you, it actually does odour similar sake. If you're a drinker y'all powerfulness terminate upward licking your hands. H5N1 lot.
But what virtually those who are non fans of the sake smell?
The response was really uncomplicated - tochiotome strawberries - Tochigi's most famous crop.
And that's how the strawberry infused cream was born. And allow me say you, it actually does odour similar strawberries. I wanted to lick my hands. H5N1 lot.
Then came sake as well as strawberry infused bathroom salts. If y'all ever wanted to bathe inwards a sake smelling soup, this one's for you. I used to plop a chunk of sake kasu into my hot bath, directly I tin give the axe role proper bathroom salts. Saves a lot of operate when scrubbing the bathtub afterward on.
Kuramoto Bijin Hakumai Ferment Lotion was novel to me. I can't hold off to endeavor it.
Kuramoto Bijin Hakumai Ferment Milk was made famous past times Ratzilla's best option feature.
I am on my 2nd bottle as well as it has locomote my wintertime dry out peel savior.
Ratzilla also wrote virtually Kuramoto Bijin Komeyu Rice Oil.
I bring been using it on my eczema patches as well as works improve than whatever other facial crude I bring tried. Eat your see out tsubaki!
The 3 rice grain ladies (yep, they are shaped similar rice) signify women inwards their 20s, 30s as well as 40s. In other words - Kuramoto Bijin Komeyu is skincare for everyone.
Tonoike Sake Brewery is working on additional beauty products - confront cream, canvas masks as well as a confront pack (which way no to a greater extent than practise it yourself sake kasu!). H5N1 premium draw is also inwards the works.
And the best intelligence is that the fellowship is working on an English-language cyberspace shop alongside worldwide shipping. How awesome is that?
Many Japanese companies are totally oblivious to the popularity of Japanese skincare overseas, they don't aid as well as can't locomote bothered.
So it was as well as then refreshing as well as inspiring to encounter a Japanese fellowship that understands the importance of making life tardily for its unusual customers.
