For almost nine centuries, the Sudo Family was known for carrying their sacred art of making sake in their brewery at Obara, Japan.

Genuemon Sudo, the 55th generation of the sake-maker family, talks about how they were able to carry the custom that has spanned 870 years and counting, as well as how the 2011 earthquake and nuclear disaster almost derailed them from making the rice wine, and how vital sake is to the Japanese heritage culture.
