Sake Lees Extract
酒粕エキス
Sake lees (酒粕, sakekasu) is the residual solid obtained after pressing fermented rice mash in sake brewing. Used in cosmetics for amino acids, peptides, and yeast-derived bioactives. Major sake-producing regions (Niigata, Nada, Fushimi, Saijō) supply upstream material. Well-suited to sustainability narratives as an upcycled brewing byproduct.
