Spreadable Sake Lees – Jam-Style Fermented Delight
Gently aromatic, delicately complex.
From the moment your spoon dips in, a soft burst of citrus aroma rises to greet you.
Then, a mellow, savory depth quietly follows.
It’s as if Japanese fermentation and European patisserie had a beautiful, unexpected meeting.
This is not just a spread—it’s a new expression of “jam.”
Made with “Aged Sake Lees” – Fermentation Elevated
At the heart of this creation is long-aged sake lees (sake kasu) from Ito Shuzo’s “Relaxation LUXURY” series—sake brewed from rice grown within a 12-mile radius and aged for over a year at low temperatures.
The result?
A rich umami layered like a fine dashi stock, with a total amino acid content over 1,100 (3× our usual sake kasu).
It’s an edible echo of the sake’s fermentation—a rare and nuanced spread born from time, not sugar.
Thoughtfully Sourced Ingredients
- Meyer Lemons from Kakiuchi Farm (Mihama Town, Mie Prefecture)
→ Whole-rind purée brings a sweet, mellow fragrance with gentle acidity. - Raw Cane Sugar from Tanegashima Island
→ Mineral-rich and less refined, this natural sweetness enhances rather than masks the sake kasu and citrus.
How to Enjoy It – Ideas for Your Table
- Slather on baguette or rice-flour toast like a mellow, savory jam
- Pair with cheese and crackers for a wine-inspired appetizer
- Dollop onto vanilla ice cream or yogurt for a fermented dessert twist
- Stir into scone or cake batter to enrich flavor and aroma
- Use as a sauce glaze on grilled chicken or fish (surprisingly good!)
For Wine Lovers: Use it like a Japanese Honey
Yes—this sake lees spread can be your fermented alternative to honey.
A spoon over goat cheese, or a swipe across buttery brioche…
It delivers the quiet luxury of sweetness that isn’t sugary, but soulful.
A pairing gift for Burgundy and Champagne lovers alike.
