Like many great discoveries, the life-changing benefits of sake kasu were revealed by accident. Old and wizened sake masters have long been known to have baby-soft, wrinkle-free hands. As it turns out, working with koji (an enzyme- and amino acid-rich mold used in making sake) helped to inhibit the production of melanin, the main cause of sunspots and freckles.
One of the byproducts of sake production is sake kasu, residual yeast (also called lees) that contains all of the nutrients and leftover koji from the sake-making process. This Sake Kasu Milk Bath + Face Mask contains two bags of sake kasu that can be sprinkled into a bath or made into a paste for a rejuvenating face mask. This product does not contain alcohol.

About Hasami Porcelain The Hasami Porcelain line is designed by Takuhiro Shinomoto, whose pieces embody a "tortoise lifestyle" - slow, steady, and long-lasting. The entire Hasami collection is modular by design; mugs, plates, bowls, and planters share the same diameter, allowing for easy stacking for storage or display. (Inspiration for this convenient feature came from the tiered boxes used in Japanese cuisine, now repurposed for modern living.) Each piece is molded by hand from a unique clay mixture in Hasami, Nagasaki, where ceramics have been celebrated as art for the past 400 years.
Materials: Clay Dimensions: 3" D x 3.5" H Care: Dishwasher- and microwave-safe Hasami Porcelain has high thermal stability and is free from lead and cadmium. Nagasaki, Japan
