“This is a nicely polished piece of failure.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not about u0026quot;the birth of sakeu0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s simply one season with one of the last factories that employ the traditional method. Although traditional would be a very abused word, as nothing but the simple mind of the workers is traditional.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe workers are undepaid failured.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe factory itself is a failure, although the owner is pretending to have a high quality product. And the sake is hard to sell and elicits only some polite remarks from the buyers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe drink itself is a failure as even the owner and the employees get drunk on beer and not sake.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd the film fails to become exciting. It is the long and boring cut of a 5 minute u0026quot;How It Is Madeu0026quot; Youtube video plus some interviews from the bonus tracks.”
