There is a sake brewery with a long history that was close to being forced to shut down after its facilities were destroyed in the Great Tohoku Earthquake of March 2011. At that time, brewery workers from across Japan rushed in to help them out.
This documentary follows the owner and workers of the brewery that was reborn, as they attempted to create a “special sake” that would express their gratitude to those who lent them a helping hand during that period, 10 years ago. Since that disaster, they have worked to broaden the base of the Japanese sake industry, hiring the nation’s youngest female Head Brewer, as well as a foreign Assistant Head Brewer. To mark this 10th anniversary of the disastrous earthquake, our aim is to relay to you the passion for SAKE of this brewery owner and his workers, as they move forward with heartfelt gratitude for all the support they received at the time, as well as to give you a glimpse of the progress the Tohoku region has made in its recovery.
