The road to Myoko

We brew live kombucha using water from Myoko.

Thank you for visiting the website of Scobie Inc. I am Joseph Schmidt, President and CEO.

This photo was taken on the day we received our brewing license, together with my wife Asaka, co-founder, and our child. Our life and craftsmanship in Myoko began in a small shop.

The journey of two people

Joseph and Asaka's journey eventually led them to Myoko. Asaka serves as co-founder and CFO (Chief Financial Officer). Together, and with their families, they obtained a SCOBY brewing license.

Our thoughts

We believe that we can bring health and joy to Japan through the power of live, beneficial bacteria that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. We also aspire to contribute to the future development of cosmetics and health in Japan. With these two aspirations in mind, Joseph and Asaka, along with two other founding members, established SCOBY in 2022.

Why Myoko?

Our brewery is located in Sekiyama, Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture. We use spring water from Mount Myoko for our brewing process. Good water allows for a calm and steady fermentation process. That's why we chose to brew in this location.

SCOBY is Japan's first licensed kombucha brewery. We deliver the kombucha we brew here to customers all over the country.

What we value

  • Delivering the power of live beneficial bacteria directly.
  • Sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing
  • To contribute to the future of health and cosmetics in Japan.
