  • 'Akamon' is part of the 'Kamon' series by the Obata Brewery, as a gesture to the family crest which is displayed on the label.

    The four diamonds from the family crest serve to represent the four integral elements of the brewery: the rice, water, people (brewers) and Sado Island itself.

    Unfiltered, unpasteurised and undiluted, this sake is as fresh and vibrant as if sampled straight from the fermentation tank. These choices by the brewer offer juicy fruitiness, fresh acidity, and rich umami, all packed into a single sip.

  • Obata Brewery is located in the beautiful and historic Sado Island off the coast of Niigata Prefecture.

    Since its establishment in 1892, Obata has evolved into a global-minded, sustainability-focused brewery with the philosophy to ‘Brew Happiness by Brewing Sake’. They are most known for their award-winning ‘Manotsuru’ brand of sake as well as their ‘Gakkogura‘ sake brewing school. This popular week-long sustainable sake brewing experience is the only one of its kind in the world, offered for the past few years at Obata Brewery’s Gakkogura (literally “Brewery School”) on Sado Island.
