Sake Way A beautiful meditative documentary about Tadorigawa sakavarna. This is one of the places where production is carried out by hand and is rooted in the centuries-old traditions of Japan. There are fewer and fewer such places now. And this is understandable: the work is physically difficult, requires great dedication and close relationship with colleagues. But this sakavarni everything works because their credo is harmony. And it is not surprising, because the Japanese try to find harmony in everything: whether it is nature, food, feelings, interaction in society and at work.
Also in the film you can see the incredible return of each member of the team and the director Eric Shiray. He managed to convey the beauty of the process and people. As it turned out, he did not just shoot a film, but lived with these people all the time, immersed in their worries and joys, shared a meal with them and even sang songs. So I gained trust and the output was such a soulful thing as the Birth of sake. By the way, critics also did not remain indifferent, and at several film festivals the picture was awarded the title of best documentary.
In the process of viewing, you will be able to learn: how the process of making sake occurs, how to become a sake master, how the product is promoted, how workers rest and live. It is not without the Eastern philosophy of life. Well, the footage of falling snowflakes and rice in a Japanese village looks just fabulous. Have a good time!
