Natsuko Saeki is an office worker in Tokyo, but she does not thrive in her job. One day, her brother falls ill, and the opportunity arises for her to return to her family, who are modest sake brewers, to help out. Motivated by this family challenge, Natsuko immerses herself wholeheartedly in the world of sake production and tries to carve out a place for herself in a very traditional industry dominated by men.
