Kuramoto no Shizuku

Kuramoto no Shizuku, which means "drop from the sake brewery," is a Japanese skincare brand built around sake lees from Miyakotsuru, a Kyoto sake brewery with more than 175 years of history. The idea comes from an old saying that sake brewers have pale, soft hands from working with sake every day. The Toji Lotion pairs sake lees extract with Lipidure, a moisturizing ingredient, and is made for rough, bumpy skin, according to the brand. The Sakura Yeast Serum adds double cherry blossom yeast from Kenrokuen garden for dark spot care, and the Shiratama Esthe is a foaming face soap. We buy every order in Japan, so you can skip searching Japanese sites and start with a trial size first.
