Hello everybody ! My name is Pierre, I am a French student actually doing an internship in the Miyasaka Brewing Company (based in Suwa, Japan), producer of the Masumi Sake. By shooting the different tasks of the Japanese hard-workers with my camera, and then using some video softwares (sony vegas video, adobe after effects), I will try to show you the main parts of the traditional Sake production. Let's have a look at the beginning of the Sake production. Sake brewers have first to mill their rice to a certain rate. Basically, the lower this percentage, the higher the quality. So under 50% you have a "Daiginjo" (Super premium) and between 50 and 60%, your Sake will be labeled "Ginjo" (Premium). After the milling operation, a certain quantity of water has to be incorporated into the rice: it's time for the washing and soaking process. I kept the original sounds of the video to allow you to hear that there is no room for distractions: the focusing of each worker is compulsory in order to create the best Sake. You may think about that the next time you drink a cup of Sake !
