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.
