Meet Kiku Masamune, a brand with a legacy that stretches all the way back to 1659. Born in the Nada region of Kobe during the Edo period, the Kano family dedicated themselves to mastering the art of "dry sake" (karakuchi), building a reputation for uncompromising quality that has lasted over 350 years.
But their craftsmanship didn't stop at the brewery.
Inspired by the ancient wisdom that sake workers had incredibly soft hands, Kiku Masamune took a bold leap into skincare. They translated centuries of fermentation expertise into a skincare line that hydrates and nourishes using the power of Japanese sake. It’s the perfect blend of Edo-period tradition and modern beauty innovation.
With over 350 years of history, Kiku Masamune continues to blend tradition and innovation, sharing the charm of Japanese sake and skincare with the world.
