Secrets of Rice and Water
The Art of Sake Brewing
Very few words are spoken, bar the odd joke in local dialect. Silence prevails: everyone knows what needs to be done. Every move is precise, clean, just like the brewery, clean, overly clean, and always clean. It's a world of rice, sweat and water and a few more ingredients like the mould, the yeast and the temperature. And enormous amounts of work. Never drink sake lightly. This series is a tribute to the craftspeople that give their best to prepare it.
