Niigata Sake Face Mask 18ml

The Niigata Jizake Face Mask Series was developed as a collaborative project by 11 sake breweries in Niigata Prefecture.

While the sake and sake lees are unique to each brewery, all other ingredients are the same, making it easy to discern the differences between each brewery's product.

▪️Introducing 11 Breweries:

Shimeharitsuru

Brewery: Miyao Shuzo Co., Ltd.

Miyao Shuzo was founded in 1819 (Bunsei 2). Murakami, where the brewery is located, is a castle town rich in nature, surrounded by sea, mountains, and rivers, with a deep history and traditional culture. Murakami is known as a rice-producing region that yields high-quality sake rice such as Gohyakumangoku, which we use as raw material for our sake brewing. The water, said to influence the taste of sake, is pristine well water from the brewery's grounds, used for brewing and washing. This groundwater is the undercurrent of the Miomote River, known for its salmon runs, and is soft water with a delicate sweetness. What has been passed down through generations at our brewery is a sincere attitude toward sake brewing. We strive to produce sake that brings joy to everyone, using high-quality rice and pristine water as raw materials, aiming for the best possible quality.

Hokusetsu

Brewery: Hokusetsu Shuzo Co., Ltd.

Since its establishment in 1872, Hokusetsu Shuzo has cherished sake brewing that prioritizes Sado's rice, water, climate, and people, based on the belief that sake loved by people must be safe and secure. While inheriting traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations, we are also innovatively pioneering the future of sake brewing by incorporating unprecedented new methods such as music performance, ultrasonic vibration, and centrifugal separators.
