Sake Extract
日本酒エキス
Sake extract is a concentrated preparation from Japanese rice wine, typically aqueous or hydro-alcoholic extraction capturing amino acids, peptides, and flavor actives. Cosmetic applications use non-alcoholic or low-alcohol fractions for moisturizing and brightening claims; food applications use sake concentrate in seasonings, glazes, and bakery.

Amazake (Sweet Koji Beverage)
甘酒

A separate variant made from sake lees contains low alcohol. Hakkaisan Brewery's 'Kōji dake de tsukutta Amasake' (FFC notification I290) is Japan's first koji-based beverage with dual functional claims via A. oryzae HJ1 strain and koji-derived glucosylceramide. Modern positioning includes 'drinking IV drip' (nomu tenteki) health-food claims.
