Sake Beauty - Sarika's mission

OUR MISSION

To nourish you with the fermentation magic of sake, while supporting our precious 2000-year-old art & the planet.

SAKE FOR BEAUTY

The 2000-year-old
beauty secret

Sake is a delicious 2000-year-old craft - but it's not only for drinking. Did you know that Sake has been used for centuries for beauty care in Japan? You might have heard about Geishas bathing in Sake.

Sake is incredibly hydrating and nourishing, beaming with amino acids and peptides, known for its naturally beautifying properties.

The fermentation magic of rice turning into Sake, producing various enzymes in the process, is where the magic lies. You just need to look at the hands of elderly Sake brewers.

THE BALM

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Ciao! I'm Sarika

SSI OFFICIAL SAKE LECTURER  ·  SAKE SCHOLAR  ·  COMPETITION JUDGE  ·  MASTER OF SAKE  ·  DOBUROKU AMBASSADOR

Lovely to meet you. I'm a United Nations Official turned Entrepreneur, on a mission to share the beauty of Japanese sake, in support of our precious 2000-year-old craft.

As I learned about the current realities of sake in my ancestral town of Nagano - a major historical sake production area - that our precious craft is in a serious decline, I wanted to do something.

I've been making my own natural selfcare product since 2014. Sharing my Sake Balm is another fabulous way to spread sake love with the world.
