Gyokudo Kamamoto is one of the leading Mumyoi workshops on Sado. Mumyoi ware uses special clay that contains ferrous oxide composites. Its clay becomes very dense and hard when completely baked. Mumyoi ware are said to enrich the taste of green tea, coffee, sake, and beer. Hands-on experiences with the potter's wheel available at 1200 yen to 2000 yen. English information is also available. A coffee shop is inside. Also see Retaurants

Saccori (also called sakkori or sakiori) is a type of Sado's traditional textile that is woven with small fabrics strips that are made from used clothes. All products are carefully loomed by hand.

Hokusetsu Brewery is a world famous sake brewery. We produce both traditional sake and more contemporary versions with unique aging methods by synthesizer music of Kitaro, a Grammy Award-winning musician, and ultrasonic waves to mellow the sake. "Nobu the Premium Sake" is popular among sake lovers worldwide. In particular, our brand is Robert De Niro's favorite sake. Mr. De Niro and his business partner, acclaimed chef Nobu have chosen Hokusetsu sake for their internationally known prestigious restaurant chain NOBU. Both De Niro and Nobu have visited our brewery. In addition, Koganenami, an example of Japan's other indigenous beverage, shochu, is matured using ultrasonic technology. Enjoy its rich flavor at room temperature, chilled, or served on the rocks.  E-mail: sado@sake-hokusetsu.com
