Shimaoka Shuzo

Shimaoka Shuzo, located in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, is the city's sole remaining brewery and a vital guardian of local sake culture.
They specialize in the Kimoto-style Yamahai brewing method, using Gunma-grown rice to produce all their sake through this labor-intensive traditional technique.
Unique for their commitment to aging, their standard products are cellared for one to two years before release, resulting in sweet aromas reminiscent of vanilla and honey and a profound depth of flavor.
These Yamahai sakes are ideal for pairing with food, highly regarded as one-of-a-kind table sakes that complement everyday home cooking.
