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.

Sakiori (also called Sakkori) 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. Our desire is to share personal touch of Sado's culture. Our shop also runs a coffee shop. Please walk in.

Hokusetsu Shuzo Brewery is a world famous sake brewery. We produce both traditional sake and more contemporary versions with very unique aging methods by Kitaro's synthesizer music and ultrasonic waves to mellow the sake.  "Nobu the sake YK50" is popular among sake lovers worldwide. In particular our brand is Robert De Niro's favourite sake. Mr. De Niro and his business partner, acclaimed chef Nobu have chosen Hokusetsu sake and Nobu beer for their internationally known prestigious restaurant chain NOBU. Both De Niro and Nobu have visited our brewery. Our Nobu beer is specially brewed with select malt for NOBU restaurants. In addition, Saado shochu, Japan 's other indigenous beverage is made from carefully chosen rice. Enjoy it's rich flavour either on the rocks or with water.  E-mail: Hokusetu@sado.co.jp
