The Birth of Sake

Through the unrelenting winter in northern Japan, a small group of workers must brave unusual working conditions to bring to life a 2,000-year-old tradition known as sake, guided by experts like Kojiro Nagasawa, founder of Tedorigawa Brewery (Erik Shirai). A cinematic documentary that offers a visually immersive experience of an almost-secret world in which large sacrifices must be made for the survival of a time-honored brew.
