Nada (灘区, Nada-ku, Japanese: [nadakɯ]) is one of nine wards of Kobe, Japan.

The Tadao Ando-designed Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is a short walk south of the Nada JR station.

The fine taste of the Nada sake comes from 'Miyamizu' mineral-rich water, which was discovered during the Tenpō era (1830–1844) by Tazaemon Yamamura from the Uozaki-go district.

The most essential factors for making pure sake are good grain polishing ability and low temperatures.

Furthermore, the combination of the cold winds, known as 'Rokko oroshi', and the influence of the inland sea makes for ideal weather conditions for brewing sake in winter.
