Japanese Sake Factory Asahi Shuzo. This is how sake made in a Japanese brewery including what ingredients are used. If you’re any kind of sake lover, you already know about their world famous signature Japanese sake brand Kubota dating back to 1830 in Nagaoka Japan, where they were originally founded as Kubotaya. Almost 200 years later, they're still in the same location, now with a total of 170 skillfull workers, crafting the highest quality Japanese sake each day, who’ve all mastered the secret Japanese sake brewing techniques passed down from generation to generation. The entire sake factory sits on about 57,000 square meters of Niigata land consisting of 5 separate buildings all working together to make it all happen. Rice is the main ingredient for making sake. This factory alone uses about 3600 tons of rice a year from fall to spring, with deliveries 2-3 times a week. In fact, the Niigata area produces the highest rice crop yield in all of Japan. It’s commonly said by Japanese sake producers that “’The quality of sake can never exceed the quality of its ingredients.’’ which is probably why the Japanese sake factory grows and cultivates its very own rice in order to craft its unique sake with its signature fragrance and taste.

Is anyone else blown away by how clean Japanese factories and warehouses are kept? 🙋
I like this video but I still want to see a day in the life of a Farm veterinarian.🇯🇵😘🥰😍
Great video! Thank you, Paolo!
one thing I always saw in video was about truckers in jpan and their over the top cars is that still going on or is it just a few that do that?
They changed the age of AV in Japan, which anger a lot of parents. It’s very popular occupation and lucrative offers, but most want to see their family in the viewership not starring in these movies.
It’s insane how clean and well maintained they keep everything.
when dealing with mass produced food, anything less would be a scandal
@@Lektrolind I’m from a country where food standards are extremely high and it’s no where near the cleanliness seen here.
I'm joining Peter here. Even in the non food processing parts, everything is pristine clean: the trucks, the forklifts, everything...
@@Kdenbro yeah I can also vouch for you. My WIFE used to work att cookie factory something. They make many type of snacks. She told me everything was so disgusting, machines covered in food particles no cleanliness was inside there. She quit the work bcs of that. And Since then we stopped eating their products
@@oldman5564 Sounds like you've worked at the Preggo spaghetti sauce factory
Respect to that lady for looking at that light all day
I’m a Beer brewer in the US. I always love your videos but this one especially. You should show us a Japanese Brewery! Thanks for always uploading great stuff!
For sure! Would love if he showed something like how Asahi or Baird Brewing packages
youre welcome bro
This *is* a japanese brewery.
This was really neat. I've always been fascinated by automated processes like the bottling. It's crazy to imagine the planning and engineering that goes into those machines. It's also great to see that even with the automation, they don't ignore the need for extensive human interaction with the process. I'm now very thirsty.
you should watch the documentary "the birth of sake". it's about one of the last sake brewery that still does all of it BY HAND. excellent film!
@@julianovanderpool6867 ......making a note.....thanks!
Can confirm. Takes a lot of work to plan this. Some projects take over a year from the order intake to the first product being filled. (I'm a project engineer for beverages)
The fact that even the labels and individual rice grains of sample sets are inspected by hand by an experienced person was mind-blowing, I mean, we don't do that even in countries where experienced labor is cheap
So true 👍
The bottling, labeling, and packaging was my favorite part. My uncle owns a small wine business in California and we usually do most filling, labeling, and packaging by hand.
I'm no fan of alcohol but it's still super interesting to see how it's made. thank you for the tour :)
Glad you still thought it was interesting.
how did you comment 3 hours ago?
@@pepsy3085 Paolo is from the future. 😎
Wait video is 6 hours ago?
@@pepsy3085 Early access as a channel member I guess
We all know how neat. Japanese people are but right now I’m appreciative of how far you have come, the quality of these videos are getting better each time. Thank you for taking us along paolo ❤
Gotta make dat content to keep that little baby fed.
I really enjoy how Paolo shows us big and small businesses in these videos
As a German: impressive how much space they have, and how clean it is. Way above the level over here.
Germans are very self-debasing lol
It’s crazy how clean this place. I love Japan 🇯🇵
I'm impressed on how clean the factory is.
毎回思うけどクオリティー高い動画👍
パーフェクト💯
I've ordered Sake from Japan 2 times and I was sooo amazed from its flavour, but i never knew how it's made. All i got to say it's that im sooo amazed and im keen on watching more of your interesting tours 😄.
it is INSANE when you think about how things like Sake used to be made back in the old days, one never thinks about this things when we have the finished product in our hands but it takes so much work and technology and knowledge, great video!
All these made in Japan videos are very interesting to watch. Even though I don’t drink Alcohol, I still enjoyed watching it :)
This and the Day in the Life series are two of the best on UA-cam. Thanks so much!
Wow, Paolo & Maiko, the production quality on this one is insane. Great camera work in the factory, great storytelling and explaining the process. You two did really step up your game, impressive! :O I hope it pays out! Love xoxo
Huge buildings, multiple pieces of high quality machinery and piping, years of skill, etc..........amazing stuff, worth every penny in the end product!
The Japan " how it's made series " it's amazing.
Thanks showing how Sake is made often wondered what went into brewing Sake didn’t expect a detailed making of Sake again Thanks from 🇨🇦Canada.
I love sake. Dassai is what I normally drink since it's smooth, easy to drink and relatively cheap(consider its high quality). It's also easy to find in the US.
I love how faster your intro kept getting, it gave a extra real sense of how cold it was.
It's amazing how much work, effort and time that goes into making sake, yet the price is still fairly low! I love to spend that extra money on quality sake, because just a small glass of it will give me more joy than a few glasses of any other alcohol.
Another great video Paolo! The process of making Sake is so meticulous. I appreciate the whole process that goes on behind the scenes to create it.
This is one of your best videos yet!!! Very interesting to see aspects of modern production being integrated with the hand crafted processes of making Sake.
Once again you’ve hit it out of the park! Thanks for doing these and teaching us all new things!
These videos are always fascinating. Keep up the good work paolo👍
I never knew how complicated it was. I would just opened the bottle and enjoyed that delicate sublime delicious taste. I will show more respect the next time I have sake.😌
Wow amazing thank you for taking us with you . I’m amazed to see this .
Your content keeps getting better and better. Awesome work. 👏
the whole process is impeccable! another great story telling pao!
Fascinating!! Thanks for taking us along 😎👍😎
I have always wonder how Sake is made! Your video is so valuable and all the different angle of amazing shoot and conversation of the employees who take so much pride in making precise and highest quality product made me want to watch it again with my kids. Not only this is an educational video, but all your video of how things are made in Japan or daily life gives me and my kids a more understanding of work ethics and appreciation to the world when it comes to get the job done, right, correctly to perfection. Thank you so much for another amazing episode.
I would love to see you visit the Suntory whiskey plant in Osaka
Stunned by the quality of the recording. And very entertaining material. Thanks very much for uploading this Paolo
Things Paolo does for this channel = amazing! Bro that snow though
Love to see the machines working and how everything is so neat. This series is so nice!
I too am not a drinker but that was super fascinating. The quality control in Japan is just awesome. Thank you - glad to see you all back 👍👍👍
Another great video Paolo! That is great tasting Sake and now I know what goes into making it.
Such a wholesome virtual sake brewery tour! Thanks so much Paolo!
Thank you for the tour, Paolo.
Thanks for sharing how Sake produced in Japan. Looking forward to more videos like this from your channel.
Do you know that your videos are even better than televised shows?? THESE ARE TOPNOTCH QUALITY!! 💯 U R AMAZING!!
Cleanest factory I've seen, a lot of hardworkers there
My favorite series returns. Lets go!
I love these "How it's made" and "Day in the life of..." videos!
that was an awesome tour, i wish you could cover every japanese food processing plant eg. mirin, miso, soy sauce etc.
mann this kind of contents are so insightful and so enjoyable, more contents like this in the future
14:36 the amount of concentration to do that job is next level
Absolutely loved this and other videos that you make. Really proud of it
Next time I visit Japan, I definitely need to try out some sake
you're verified now.
I rarely see you in the comments now, did you take a break?
Hi🙂
Sake and vodka are my favorite alcohol drinks
Hello jellal
Went in 2019 and did a sake tasting in Nara. It was a lot of fun!
Awesome video. I always have a bottle of kubota at home! Loved seeing the process and care that goes into the production. Saved the sake bar on my list of favorites for the next trip to Japan too!!
Loved this! You have great energy and I was so impressed with how precise the factory is.
this s awesome, thanks for producing high quality video, Paolo!
I loved this, so satisfying! Thank You ❤️
Man, the amount of care put into the process is insane, thank you so much for this look behind the curtain. On the topic of alcohol, it'd be pretty cool if you also got to do a "How it's made" for whiskey too lol
Also, the small shrine that was shown for a moment was an interesting detail, if I had to guess it's dedicated to Inari Ōkami.
Paolo, you should do a day in the life of a Shinto Priest, a day in the life of a martial arts instructor and a day in the life of a teacher in a Japanese high school and a day in the life of a host.
As always, I absolutely loved this video, thank you so much! ❤
This video was so relaxing to watch. Not an alcohol enthusiast but now I want to try some of this company’s sake. I love seeing how things are made and it was incredible to see how much detail and time went into this.
Paolo, I’ve been watching you for many years but never commented. I just wanted to let you know that you’re my favourite UA-cam channel ❤️ I haven’t had an opportunity to go to Japan and I’m a manager myself so I’m so interested in how teams work over there and what the culture is like. Keep it up and thank you!!!
I like the lady inspector she,s so friendly and seems to always laugh and smile everytime
Keep up with the series. I always liked "how it's made" type of shows and yours is good because you make it feel easy to watch and listen too while learning the basics and if you(us viewers) are interested you can search about it and learn more about it. I also like the questions from place to place that are answered by workers. Makes it more entertaining and that way I don't get bored from too big monologues/descriptions. Yours are ok, but other shows/yt videos keep having long monologues that make it boring after a while and you can't pay attention to it.
Paolo you do the best vlogs ..Japan is such as amazing place thanks to you sharing it to the world 🌎 😊
Thank you for sharing! I loved watching the bottling/packaging process alot. Your smile always makes me day alittle brighter ^^ !
This series always cures my existential crisis. Thank you Paolo!
So in love, love with your videos…
Makes me want to live in Japan!!!
♥️🌵
Your like a discovery channel japan version it's feels like watching my younger self enjoying these type of how it was made ☺
Thank you for your hard work enjoying theses content
great video paolo. thank you for always delivering!
This facility is spotless. It’s quite amazing how clean and efficient the Japanese are!
Wow, another awesome video, what a dedication to go all the down to Nagaoka to give us this awesome content! Thank you as always and have a great weekend~ :D
Wow!!! I've always wanted to see sake being made!
love it so much, at least we got the sake one, thank you so much Paolo
Amazing video! I'm all smiles watching this. Thank you! Keep it up!
I've been waiting for a new upload since yesterday. I was a little sad but finally! My day is made
Hope you enjoyed it!
“Made with love” definitely!! I need to try some. Hope I can source some in the UK 🤞🏼awesome as always Paolo 🙌🏼😎
This is so satisfying to watch the whole process..
Notice how clean everything is, how professional the workers are and the overall care for the product. It's no wonder my Honda Civic just keeps on going.
Paolo you're awesome you're videos are the best We Love Japan ❤️ 🇯🇵
I'm very fond of drinking alcohol, but haven't try any sake yet. Sake processing looks clean, Thank you for this informative video, it makes me want to try drinks sake.
love these series you make!
One of my favorite "mass produced" sakes for sure. Love it!
I live in Hungary, and Asahi beer is my favorite, I'll try to taste the sake too in the future, thank you for the video!
I am a strict teetotaller, but still interesting. Thank you for all your uploads of Japanese life. 😊 Can you please make a video on the Casio factory in Japan?
Top notch content! Thanks for you hard work on making videos like this
Amazing look inside the sake production. Great as always!
I love these videos!! So happy that there is a new one!! 😁🙏🏻
More to come!
Fantastic episode! I’d love to see you visit a model kit manufacturer in the future like Tamiya or Fine Molds!
loving the cleanliness and the safety.
The assembly process looks beautiful.
I like how informative your videos really are! You are not just visiting these places, you inform yourself and have a lot to tell about the process itself! Great work, I find it very interesting as I am a professional beer brewer myself and am therefor highly interested in different fermentation techniques and methods! Best wishes!
I'm in Canada, I always buy this Sake brand at SAQ. Very delicious
seriously i can watch this all day
That was fascinating! Great video👍😊
Awesome video! Love your production value it's like a documentary you'd pay to see
I'm supposed to be in Japan next March (as long as it opens 🤞🤞🤞) I definitely wanna try all the sake! 🤤
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
I'm so happy I came across your UA-cam I love learning about Japan and all the different jobs ppl have. Thank you so much for all the work you do teaching us about so many different things in Japan.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!
I went to Japan for the first time, that was the first wine I tasted, it was so delicious 😍
@@missplainjane3905 Yes,for me ,Japan is a prosperous country.That’s why Japan is the most favorite place.🥰
Awesome video as usual.
I love sake, drink it regularly, so it was great to watch the process. Although there is not as many options to try here in Australia, I'd love to see a taste test of all the variety's in one of your videos some day. :)
Japanese are really hard working people with dedication profession traits.
If Paolo made a second channel with just B-roll footage of factories doing their thing, I would totally watch that all day long.
