Description

Kikumasamune Sake Face Wash is a large-format foaming cleanser from Japan's Kikumasamune sake brewery, formulated to remove impurities and excess sebum without stripping the skin's natural moisture. The 200g tube makes it one of the most generously sized face washes in its category, designed for both face and full-body use with a formula that leaves skin feeling clean, smooth, and non-taut after rinsing.

The hero technology is Crystalline Cellulose (セルロースin) — a fine plant-derived particle that physically adsorbs sebum and pore impurities into the foam as it lifts them away, without the friction of conventional scrub particles. The dense, elastic foam acts as a cushion between hands and skin, allowing a gentle wash that avoids mechanical irritation. Squalane and three amino acids are retained in the rinse-off formula to protect the moisture barrier.

The base is a soap-amino acid hybrid (myristic acid + cocamidotaurate), giving a thorough clean with a comfortable, non-alkaline finish. Free from colorants and mineral oil. A warm sake scent is present during washing.

Key Ingredients
  • Rice Ferment (Sake / コメ発酵液) — Junmai Ginjo sake concentrate that conditions the skin during cleansing and helps maintain moisture balance
  • Crystalline Cellulose (セルロース) — plant-derived adsorption agent that captures sebum and fine impurities within the foam structure
  • Squalane — skin-identical emollient that cushions the barrier during cleansing and reduces post-wash tightness
  • Glutamic Acid, Arginine & Leucine — three amino acids that help maintain surface hydration and skin softness through the rinse-off process
  • Cocamidotaurate (ココイルメチルタウリンNa) — mild amino acid surfactant that cleanses thoroughly without disrupting the skin's natural acid mantle

HOW TO USE
  1. Wet face thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  2. Squeeze a small amount onto a foam net or palms and lather into a dense foam before applying to skin.
  3. Massage gently over face in circular motions for 30–60 seconds, letting the foam do the work.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  5. Pro tip: Building a full lather before touching skin maximises the cellulose adsorption effect and reduces the need to rub.

FAQ

Is this gentle enough for sensitive skin?

The formula combines soap and amino acid surfactants for a thorough but low-irritation cleanse. It is free from colorants and mineral oil. Those with reactive or sensitised skin may find the myristic acid soap base slightly strong — patch testing is recommended before regular use.

Do I need to use a separate makeup remover first?

Yes. This is a daily face wash, not a makeup-removing cleanser. For days with heavy makeup or sunscreen, use a dedicated cleansing oil or gel first, then follow with this foam wash as the second cleanse.

What does the cellulose do that regular cleansers don't?

Crystalline cellulose particles have a high surface-area-to-size ratio that physically captures sebum and fine skin debris within the foam before it is rinsed away. It provides a deeper clean than standard foam washes without using abrasive scrub beads.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. Sourced directly from Matsumotokiyoshi in Tokyo — the Japan-domestic formula sold in Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf does not carry export or reformulated versions.
