The Genealogy of Sake (2015)
A document of sake craftspeople known as "Noto Toji" and their skills that have been passed down through generations, set amidst the beautiful landscapes of Noto Peninsula before the recent earthquake. The film unravels the history of sake brewing in Noto—an area that was hit severely by a recent earthquake. It examines the intense work of the life of four masters in sake brewing called "The Four Sake Kings of Noto," including a 80-year-old returning veteran Toji (a sake craftsperson), as well as their disciples, such as the first female Toji to join the Noto Toji Union, and a young Toji with a new working style. The story reveals the depths of sake making today and the difficulties of passing down the artistry through generations.
