- Synopsis
- Japanese cuisine is now one of the most popular cuisines all over the globe. However, there is one essential component that is often missing at the tables of international Japanese eateries - SAKE. Sake, often called “Japanese rice wine,” is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice and has a wide range of variety. This special drink has a long, deep history in Japanese culture, but outside of Japan, it’s still not well known and somewhat inaccessible, which makes it very hard to enjoy sake if you’re trying it for the first time.
  
  A British sake brewer, an American journalist, and a young president of a century-old sake brewery in Japan join together to explore the mysterious world of sake. The film illustrates how these unique individuals who have been fascinated with this extraordinary beverage of Japanese origin meet the challenges of the current sake industry, investigating the rich, complex, and spectacular world of sake.
