[Comment from Rina Takeda, who plays Wakako Murasaki]
The fact that you can drink delicious alcohol means that there are people who make it. It means valuing nature, culture, and tradition. Through Wakako Sake, I once again realized that it takes a lot of hard work and effort to create something delicious, and that the customers can feel at ease because they put so much time and love into making it. With a daily feeling of gratitude in our hearts, we, the cast and staff, create works with the same feelings. The president of the sake brewery I visited for this photo shoot told me, ``Wakako sake is the savior of the Japanese sake world.'' Six years ago, when I was filming Season 1, I never expected to receive such kind words. We welcome new cast members and create an original story unique to this special! Even though we are living in such difficult times, I would appreciate it if you could watch it as if you were traveling with Wakako. I hope this work will bring peace of mind to someone.In addition, guests unique to this special drama include Tatsunori Tsujimoto from the entertainment group ``BOYS AND MEN'' who will play the role of Tetsuya, the son of the general of ``Houraku'', and Phuong Chi, an actress who is active on stage and in dramas, who will play the role of Tetsuya's lover Nguyen. It has been decided that Mr. In addition to the familiar faces, pay attention to the drama between these two.
