Sake Lees Wrapped in Fragrance and Sweet Umami
A lingering finish of softness and depth.
Sake Lees So Delicious, You’ll Want to Eat It by the Spoonful
Yes, we’ve heard it too:
“I could eat this straight with a spoon.”
This sakekasu comes from our “UZUME for Relaxation” line—
a series of naturally sweet, no-sugar-added sakes
known for their rich, delicate flavor.
That same elegant profile lives on in the lees:
smooth, aromatic, and gently sweet,
making them a perfect match for desserts, sauces,
and dairy-inspired creations.
It’s hard to believe this level of sweetness comes from rice alone.
But that’s the magic of fermentation—
and we invite you to taste it for yourself.

Why It’s Sweet—Without Added Sugar
RelaxLees from the Relaxation sake line are made from high-grade junmai sake,
naturally rich in sugar due to fermentation.
- No sugar added—just the magic of rice and microbes
- Sweetness extracted from sake itself
- Umami density so deep, it’s hard to use it just as seasoning
This is sakekasu for indulgence—for moments when fermentation becomes an art.
Rooted in the Brand
These lees are pressed from the very same sakes behind our UZUME Relaxation series.
Even when transformed into jam or sweets,
they carry the essence of the sake’s world—
a flavor memory of fermentation.
