(Nature and brewers)

When the snow deepens, Fukushima sake breweries start preparation.

As the rice steaming process proceeds in Aizu breweries, icicles from the roof continues growing. After filming places related to sake making in Fukushima, I felt I understood where the charm of Fukushima's sake came from, and was overcome by the deepness and the mysteriousness of making sake. The rivers flowing from the snowy mountains contain clear shiny water, which gave me an image that overlapped with sake beingpoured.
