Shiori studies at an agricultural university in Tokyo and aspires to be a sommelier, but against her wishes she goes to apprentice at a sake brewery in Saijo. Nonetheless, she gains a sense of satisfaction through the people she meets and brewing sake. Then, the venerable brewery’s survival comes under threat.
Shiori is a science student at an agricultural college in Tokyo. Her dream is to become a wine sommelier, but to her dismay, she is assigned an internship at a Japanese sake “kura” (brewery) in rural Hiroshima. The problem is Shiori hates sake! By devoting herself to learning the sake brewing process and through the people she meets there – the stoic brewery owner, his rebellious son, the kind and encouraging Misaki, the hard-nosed master brewer and others – Shiori discovers a newfound joy. Events take an unexpected turn, however, when the “kura” owner’s health suddenly fails. This heartwarming film featuring an elusive Japanese sake is set in Saijo, Higashihiroshima City, one of Japan’s three major sake districts.
