I graduated from the KEIO University majoring in Political Science. Prior to returning home, my scope of work and expertise has seen her working for 7 years with a movie company in Tokyo. In 1995, an instinctive draw and the passion for sake brewing made me move back to my beloved hometown, to take over and manage the family owned business growing it and entering the global market. Founded by Yososaku Obata in 1892, OBATA SHUZO prides itself for using the traditional hand-made methods for more than a hundred years, with great appreciation for the abundant nature that surrounds the beautiful island. Starting with pure, soft groundwater, and world-famous sake rice, Sado has become known as an excellent place to produce sake. And since, Obata-shuzo has been making excellent handmade quality sake named Manotsuru. Manotsuru has a family emblem, “Four Diamonds”, which means the essential factors for brewing sake…”rice” “water” ”people” and “terroire”. The combination of these factors make MANOTSURU distinctive, impressive and memorable. MANOTSURU has won the gold medals at the national sake competition for 6 years in a row, and it is the longest record in Niigata in this Sake Kingdom. Also, Manotsuru won the Gold medal at the International Wine Challenge 2007, in London. I sometimes have talks and sake seminar in University, a speak knowledge of sake brewing and appreciating the heavenly brew. Bringing together food and sake will be the topic of interest in today’s talks.
