Rarity of Sake:SAKE is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage made only from rice, water, and koji. The rice‘s sweetness and UMAMI provides unique taste, very different from any other alcoholic beverages. Sake is made by a brewing method called multiple double fermentation, which requires advanced fermentation techniques unparalleled in the world, and is by far more difficult than making wine or beer.
WATER: Japan is rich in water resources due to its many mountains such as Mt.Fuji. And the TOP country in the world with cleanest tap water
RICE: Rice is produced by nearby farmers, and the varieties and regions of production produce very different tastes of sake.
KOJI: The main character in sake brewing. A kind of mold grown on rice. It is often called simply as KOJI in sake making.
TECHNIQUE: The quality of the rice is affected by weather conditions, but the technique can keep the quality constant or even raise it above a certain level.
Sake is the country's most popular alcoholic beverage. However, Sake consumption has declined 77% for 50 years from1975 to 2022.
The export value of SAKE amounts to 47.4 billion yen, accounting for less than 4% of the total export value. In stark contrast, this figure pales in comparison to France's wine export value of 1.2 trillion yen.
