Let a woman enter the brewery and the sake will sour.” This is the prevailing belief dominating the sake industry in 19th century Japan before Rie, the protagonist, stages her subtle coup. Acclaimed scholar and author Joyce Lebra’s novel, The Scent of Sake, is the story of a woman who, a century ago, builds the largest sake empire in Japan – at a time when sake is the biggest industry. This historical novel is reminiscent of Memoirs of a Geisha in its themes of love, loyalty, and one woman’s struggle to balance duty—and the ambition that sets her far ahead of her time.
