For centuries, women were forbidden to set foot in sake breweries, let alone be involved with production. Today, women are the ones driving the most exciting changes within the ever-evolving sake industry in Japan. This fascinating documentary by journalist-turned-filmmaker KONISHI Mirai (Kampai! For the Love of Sake, CJ 2016) focuses on three female pioneers.
Eeuwenlang was het verboden om als vrouw een sakebrouwerij te betreden, laat staan onderdeel te zijn van de productie. Vandaag de dag zijn het echter de vrouwen die de drijvende kracht zijn wat betreft de nieuwste veranderingen binnen de steeds veranderende sake-industrie. Deze fascinerende documentaire van journalist/filmmaker KONISHI Mirai (Kampai! For the Love of Sake, CJ 2016) portretteert drie vrouwelijke sake-pioniers.
