Know More:

Founded by descendants of Kanto samurai, the founding family eventually settled in present day Hyogo over 300 years ago under the Yamana family name. Releasing sake under the brands Chitose and Manzai, the modern name for this brewery's brand is Okutanba. Still, some releases are still bottled under the original labels. 

To this day, the family celebrates sustainable, organic and biodynamic farming process developed over these generations.

Yamana Shuzo carefully selects rice originating from local farmers in Hyogo Prefecture; they refine the rice according to the individuality of each price type. They insist on using the traditional wooden tubs for fermentation and their skilled Tanba Sake brewers carefully brew it by hand.

Celebrated by Yamana Shuzo as a 'Miracle Sake', the taste of ancient production methods is brought alive with the use of organic Hyogo Sake 85 rice, which is the one of the newest rice varieties in Hyogo, and traditional Kimoto method by developing lactic acid in wooden barrels.It is a brand created to fully express the nature of the legendary Tamba Toji of Hyogo Prefecture.

With a mild, pure fruit aroma, the texture is rich and vocal, but the finish is lingering and dry.
