After seeing this I was moved by the level of passion that was envolved in their work. Unlike trying to teach you how to make sake they showed you how sake lives and breathes. If you have an appreciation for culture or craft, I recommend this to you.

A beautifully shot film about a small, traditional sake brewery in Ishikawa. A little slow at times, but well worth a watch, especially for those interested in sake.
