Description

Wafood Made Sake Lees Face Wash 170g is a dull-skin brightening foam cleanser for normal and dry skin β€” using double-concentration Sake Kasu (酒粕, rice wine lees) extract alongside Arbutin and Rice Ceramide in a mochi-textured dense foam with fine rice powder for gentle physical exfoliation at the wash step. Designed for skin that looks grey or flat after cleansing and needs brightening at the first step of the routine.

  • Double-concentration Sake Kasu Extract β€” 2x the fermented rice lees concentration of the original formula for more brightening and conditioning per wash
  • Arbutin β€” plant-derived brightening active that helps reduce dullness and tone unevenness with consistent use
  • Rice Ceramide (Glycosphingolipid) β€” maintains the moisture barrier integrity during cleansing
  • Fine rice powder β€” gentle physical exfoliation of the outer surface during washing for immediate glow
  • Dense mochi foam β€” cushion foam texture that reduces friction during washing
  • 170g β€” generous tube size; approximately 3–4 months of daily use

How it works: Sake Kasu contains concentrated Ferulic Acid (brightening antioxidant), Kojic Acid (tyrosinase inhibitor), and fermented amino acids that deposit onto the skin surface during foam contact. The rice powder provides surface exfoliation that removes the oxidised dead cell layer that contributes to dullness β€” making the active ingredients in the sake lees more accessible to the freshly revealed skin surface. Together they create a meaningful brightening effect at the cleansing step that carries through to make subsequent toners and serums more effective.

Wafood Made Sake Lees Face Wash vs Kikumasamune Sake Face Wash: Both are sake-based cleansers. Kikumasamune uses filtered sake liquid with Crystalline Cellulose adsorption for thorough sebum removal. Wafood Made uses concentrated Sake Kasu lees (higher active concentration) with Arbutin and rice powder for brightening-focused washing. For brightening priority, Wafood Made. For pore-cleansing priority, Kikumasamune.

Known in Japan as ワフードパむド 酒粕洗鑔 170g.

Key Ingredients

  • Sake Lees Extract β€” double the original concentration; fermented rice by-product that hydrates and promotes a clearer, more even skin tone
  • Arbutin β€” plant-derived brightening agent that helps visibly reduce dullness with consistent use
  • Rice Ceramide (Glycosphingolipid) β€” rice bran–derived ceramide that supports a smooth, plump skin texture after cleansing
  • Cucumber Fruit Extract β€” extracted from Kaga-futo cucumbers using a proprietary method; keeps skin feeling settled and hydrated post-wash
  • Yuzu Seed Extract β€” citrus-derived moisturising ingredient that refines skin texture and adds suppleness

HOW TO USE

  1. Wet your face thoroughly with water.
  2. Dispense about 2–3 cm of cleanser onto your palm.
  3. Lather with a small amount of water until a dense foam forms, then massage onto face.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water or lukewarm water.
  5. Pro tip: Take time to build the foam fully before applying β€” the denser the lather, the more the scrub cushions against skin.

FAQ

How is this different from a regular face wash?

The formula combines a fermented sake lees extract with a fine rice powder scrub and arbutin inside a dense foam. Most face washes clean without addressing dullness. This one does both in a single step.

Can I use it twice a day?

Yes. It is formulated for daily morning and evening use. The cushioned foam and moisturising ingredients make it suitable for regular use without drying out the skin.

How does it compare to the Sake Lees Face Pack?

The Face Wash is your daily cleanser β€” quick, two-minute routine. The Face Pack Glow is a weekly exfoliating treatment you leave on for deeper results. They work well together as Step 1 and a weekly boost.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The alcohol concentration is below 24%. The formula has been used widely across Japanese skin types. Patch test first if your skin is highly reactive.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sold at Matsumotokiyoshi and other major Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf sources directly from Tokyo, so you receive the same product available in Japan β€” not an export or reformulated version.
