User Review - 10/10 by Nick U12/20/16 Amazon Video Like Jiro Dreams of Sushi this terrific documentary not only shows us a great product but more importantly the hard work, devotion and pursuit of excellence it takes to make it. You see the culture of striving for perfection, group over self, personal sacrifice and the commitment to traditional ways. Given what goes into producing a bottle of their product it is amazing that it is as affordable as it is.
User Review - 10/10 by Joshua FA really gorgeously-made documentary about the production of sake at this traditional brewery in Japan but also about the lives of the workers who live there six months a year.
User Review - 8/10 by Jason Kyour calming, well shot, well edited, feel good about something you really have no real interest in documentary of the week.
User Review - 8/10 by Jacques OA very well photographed insight into the workers of this traditional sake brewery.
