This is the fifth film in the "Seed-Sowing Traveler" series, which supports Japan's primary industries such as agriculture and fisheries. It focuses on sake production in Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, and the Yamada Nishiki rice variety, a representative sake rice from Hyogo Prefecture, depicting the craftsmanship and challenges faced by those involved in the industry.
 
Rie Kanzaki, a Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries official who loves sake, visits Chisenichi sake brewery, a long-established sake brewery on Awaji Island, to learn about the current state of the sake industry. There, she witnesses a conflict between the sake brewery owner, Tsuneo Matsumoto, who adheres to traditional methods, and his son, Takayuki, who wants to introduce new techniques. Among the sake brewery workers are young people like Natsumi Fujiwara, but the master brewer, Kusano, is increasingly anxious about finding a successor, leading to misunderstandings with the other workers. Rie witnesses these various challenges and searches for solutions to protect the sake industry. Just then, Chisenichi Brewery receives a business acquisition offer from overseas.
 
Rei Kikukawa stars as the protagonist, Rie, marking her return to film after 15 years. Shunya Kaneko plays Takayuki, the son of the brewery owner; Kurumi Shimizu plays Natsumi, a young brewery worker with high aspirations in sake making; and Daichi Asai plays Takeshi Okamura, Rie's predecessor and former Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries official. The film is directed by Tetsuo Shinohara, who also directed the second film in the series, "Seed-Sowing Traveler: Kuniumi no Sato," in 2015.
