FERMENSTATION | Sumida is a brand that cultivates organic rice in fallow fields in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. They utilize the rice to produce ethanol through fermentation and distillation, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. To further their commitment to sustainability, FERMENSTATION also repurposes the leftover fermentation residue as a raw material for cosmetics and as feed for chickens and cows.

The chicken and cow waste is then used as fertilizer for fields and rice paddies, creating a closed-loop, zero-waste system. The brand aims to revitalize fallow fields, restore the beautiful countryside, and contribute to a new industry. FERMENSTATION products include ethanol, face and body care items, home and goods products, gift sets, and food.

They prioritize the use of natural ingredients and strive for transparency, ensuring customers can trace the origin of their organic rice and ethanol. With organic certifications and a focus on environmental consciousness, FERMENSTATION offers a range of high-quality products that are both enjoyable and sustainable
