Incorporating fermented foods into your daily diet in a balanced way can offer numerous benefits for both your health and beauty. The most important thing is not to simply eat a lot of fermented foods, but to cultivate a habit of enjoying them deliciously while also consuming other nutrients in a balanced manner.
SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) with Bread and Cheese
At first glance, pairing SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) with bread and cheese might seem surprising, but it actually creates an incredibly intriguing combination of flavors and textures.
SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) are characterized by the distinct aroma of sake lees, deep umami developed through fermentation, and a firm saltiness. When these qualities meet the rustic sweetness and savory notes of bread, and the rich creaminess and saltiness of cheese, the result is anything but monotonous. A complex and profound umami unfolds in your mouth, reminiscent of a sophisticated wine pairing that exudes a refined, adult flavor.
The crisp, crunchy texture of SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) provides a pleasant contrast to the softness of bread and the smoothness of cheese. This interplay of textures further enhances the joy of eating.
Finely Chopped SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) and Sake Lees Dip Sauce
This dip sauce maximizes the unique flavor of SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) while drawing out an even deeper, mellower taste. It’s truly a unique creation that elevates a Japanese ingredient into a Western-style delicacy.
The greatest appeal of this dip sauce lies in the complex and rich aroma, along with the multi-layered umami woven by the Naraduke and sake lees. The trace amounts of alcohol in the sake lees add a sophisticated, adult flavor to the entire sauce, enhancing its compatibility with both wine and sake.
This dip pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, both Japanese and Western, including bread, crackers, vegetable sticks, grilled fish, and sautéed chicken. It particularly adds significant depth to simply seasoned main dishes like fried white fish or roast pork.

Radiant from Within: The Secret Health and Beauty Power of SAKE Pickles (Naraduke)
1. A Healthy Gut for Glowing Skin
Your skin is a reflection of what you eat, and your gut—where everything is absorbed—is the key to your health and beauty.
Our SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) are not just pickled; they are fermented slowly over time, a process that naturally cultivates a rich abundance of living lactic acid bacteria. These beneficial bacteria help balance your gut flora, which in turn strengthens your immunity from the inside out and fundamentally improves your skin’s condition. A brighter, healthier you—free from the discomfort of digestive issues or skin problems—begins here.
2. The Beauty Secret of Aged Sake Lees: A Miraculous Ingredient Born from a "Drinkable Elixir"
The secret to the distinctive flavor of our SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) is sake lees, the nutrient-rich sediment left over from brewing sake. We age these lees for many years to maximize their umami and health benefits.
Our aged sake lees are packed with incredible beauty-enhancing compounds:
- Kojic Acid (for skin brightening): This ingredient helps suppress the production of melanin, which causes dark spots, leading to a more translucent, even-toned complexion.
- Ferulic Acid (for anti-aging): As a powerful antioxidant, this polyphenol helps protect your cells from the oxidation that comes with age, keeping your skin looking youthful.
- B Vitamins (for metabolism): Essential for maintaining beautiful skin, these vitamins support healthy cell turnover.
Our SAKE Pickles (Naraduke) offer a delicious and easy way to get these rare beauty-boosting ingredients. They truly are a “drinkable elixir” for your skin and body.
