  • A message from the brewery:

    “You work hard every day. Why don’t you take a break?

    The gentle sweetness unique to Japanese sake will soothe you and give you energy for tomorrow.

    We created this sake with the aim of creating a junmai sake that you will want to drink a little bit every day and for a long time. By balancing the gentle sweetness, moderate acidity, and umami of sake, we have created a delicious sake that can be enjoyed as sake during meals without getting tired of drinking it, as well as a sake that is satisfying on its own.”

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