Shimomura Shuzo was founded in Hyogo prefecture in 1884. The Okuharima brand focuses on utilising only Hyogo grown rice, mostly from the immediate area. They make only Junmai (pure rice sake) and have a strong focus on traditional fermentation methods. The current Toji (Master Brewer) is Kunihiro Yamauchi who crafts some brilliant sake utilising a hands-on approach of small batch brewing.

The rice for the Okuharima Yamahai is made with locally grown Yume Nishiki rice polished to 60%. A rich, dry and complex sake with wonderful mouthfeel. A focused acidic backbone brings a refreshing lightness to the finish.
