Story: Man whose estranged from his marriage, life and family due to his corp stress job is jolted into chaos when it all comes crashing around him by death of his mother leaving the failing sake business to him for closure. Story is about the lives saved, changed while pursing the ultimate sake in a dying yet historic sake brewery as a sake master final masterpiece. Yes, there is competition but only to tighten the story not distract.
Actors: three main characters, son, old master and young man are the chief story drivers but so are the other brewery workers all with compelling lost soul-purpose persons.
Scenery of rural Japan, the intricate steps of brewing sake which is used metaphorically to explain life's chaotic journey made this one my favorite movies. This movie is well paced & well done, is it for you? Now to find and taste more sake.
