Kikumasamune

Kiku-Masamune is a sake brewery from the Nada district of Kobe, founded in 1659, that also makes skincare with ingredients from sake brewing. Its best-known product is the Sake High Moist Lotion, a watery toner in a large 500ml bottle that is made to be used generously. The range now covers emulsion, cream, essence and cleansers, the RiceMade+ line, men's lotions and the Bijin sake bath additives. We buy every Kiku-Masamune order in Japan, so you can skip import markups on a Japanese drugstore staple and use it as generously as shoppers in Japan do.

Is Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion a toner?

Yes. In Japan, "lotion" means a watery toner. Use it after cleansing, patting it into your face, and add more layers if your skin feels dry. The big 500ml bottle is made for generous use, and many people also use it on the body.

Does Kikumasamune lighten skin?

The sake lotions are made mainly to moisturize, not to lighten skin. Some lines, like RiceMade+ Bright, are made to help skin look brighter and more even, according to the brand. For dark spots, check each product's description.

What is sake lotion?

Sake lotion is a Japanese toner made with ingredients that come from sake brewing, such as rice and its ferments. In Japan, sake brewers have long been known for soft hands, which inspired sake-based skincare. Kiku-Masamune has been brewing sake since 1659.
