The Birth of Saké is a cinematic documentary that reveals the story of passionate saké-makers and what it takes to make world-class saké at Yoshida Brewery, a 144-year-old family-owned small brewery in northern Japan. Through the winter in the north of Japan, a small group of workers must work in hard conditions to bring to life a 2,000-year-old sake tradition.
The Birth of Sake is a visually immersive experience of an almost-secret world in which large sacrifices must be made for the survival of this time-honored recipe, the sake beverage.
