4 Popular Kikumasamune Skin Care Products - Best Japanese Sake Skincare Products Made by Famous Sake Brewery in Japan

Have you ever heard of Kikumasamune? Kikumasamune (菊正宗), Kiku-Masamune, is one of the most famous sake breweries in Japan and was founded in Kobe in 1659. For many years, it has been told that sake brewery workers have beautiful hands because sake has active beauty ingredients. In 2012, Kikumasamune finally started making sake skincare products. Frankly, I was not very interested in their products at that time. However, I've noticed that there are many positive reviews on their products. Even though their products have unique sake smell which some people don't like, these have been very popular in Japan because of the effectiveness. That's why some of their products have won beauty awards in Japan.

Last year, I eventually purchased their skincare lotion, Kikumasamune Skin Care Lotion High Moist (菊正宗日本酒の化粧水高保湿), and I really love it! It moisturizes my skin very well and keeps your skin healthy.

Kikumasamune makes more of beauty products with their sake. Since I am really into this skincare lotion, I also would like to try their other products. Today, I'm going to share four most popular Kikumasamune skincare products with you. If you are in Japan, you can find their products at most drugstores.

This Kikumasamune Skin Care Lotion High Moist (菊正宗日本酒の化粧水高保湿) is the one I am currently using. This lotion contains moisturizing ingredients such as amino acid, arbutin and placenta extract. One 500ml-bottle of Kikumasamune Skin Care Lotion contains as much amino acid as one 1,800ml-bottle of sake does. The High Moist one also contains ceramide, which moisturizes your skin very well and protects the skin against environmental aggressors. It's perfect for sensitive skin.
