This app features a video of traditional sake brewing at Motomiya Sakamise, the brewery behind “Kaimei” sake in Ehime Prefecture. (Some brewing methods have since changed.) You can enjoy rare footage of techniques such as traditional fune pressing, which is seldom seen today and cannot be observed at major breweries. Motomiya Sakamise’s brewery building dates back to the Edo period and has over 200 years of history. The app also offers photographs of the interior of this historic building, a valuable part of Japan’s brewing heritage. It introduces the brewery’s carefully crafted sake, which has won numerous awards, as well as rice cultivation using aigamo ducks. As we have started exporting our products overseas, you can find exported-related contact information to the final page of the product introduction. You can also discover tourist attractions and festivals throughout Ehime, with a focus on Uwa Town in Seiyo City, where the brewery is located.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MANAOLA at 4.8 against Sake Brewing's 3.0. MANAOLA also leads on ratings volume (628 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Sake Brewing's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 36 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MANAOLA holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MANAOLA has 628 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sake Brewing's written reviews are positive against 80% of MANAOLA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sake Brewing ships an update every 3 months, MANAOLA every 36 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
