[edit] Sake production
Nada is a major sake producing region, and along with Fushimi produces 45% of all the sake in Japan.[1]
A plentitude of water good for making sake and a location near Osaka (the hub of physical distribution) made it one of the most principal areas of making sake. It was one of the sake production areas called Nada-Gogō.
