Sake lotion to your skin ? - Summer is coming soon -

 I wonder if western people use moisture lotion every day. At least I don't see much lotion in supermarkets or pharmacies in Belgium.

SO, what I am doing right now is making own lotion. Well.... actually I have been making my own lotion with sake and yuzu since decade. Even my mother, who taught me how to make it, has been making her own lotion for a long time. 

My own lotion is quite simple. Prepare sake (cheap sake is OK) and cut yuzu into 4 pieces in a big bottle. After about 6 months, transfer them to a small bottle and start using! If you have it, you can add some serum or glycerin (small amount) . 

In Belgium, I cannot find Yuzu.  So I googled for yuzu substitutes and came up with "yuzu = fragrant citrus = sudachi, kabosu, lime, etc" ! I can't get sudachi, kabosu, , but I can get lime!

Then, I am trying with Lime to make my own moisture lotion😀

'EAU CELLULAIRE' Actually, this is also good moisture lotion what I tried.

Do you know Ça va ?

 

'Mackerel' in Japanese, same pronunciation as 'Ça va'. 

Last time when I back to Japan, I found very funny ' can' as above picture. 

Off course there are different tastes of mackerel inside the can but not other thing you can find from the can. 

Ça va? is How are you? How's doing? so, not like funny stuff come out when open the can 😋

Well, the taste was good and not only funny design.
