This was an increase from the 7.5% share in 2011. Market share of bottles priced ¥500 JPY ($6.33) or under and ¥1000 – 1500 JPY ($12.66 – 18.99 USD) continue to increase. Bulk wine imports continue to grow as domestic Japanese wine companies bottle their own wine. Executive Summary: Executive Summary Distribution of Japanese bottled wine is approximately 900 thousand hectoliters. This plus 1.81 million hectoliters of imported bottled wines totaled 2.71 million hectoliters of wine distributed in Japan. The Japanese wine market continues to be very competitive. Although 50 countries supply wine to Japan, ten countries account for approximately 96% of the imported volume. On-premise consumption continues to increase as the Japanese economy improves and wine becomes more generally affordable. Upscale Japanese izakaya restaurants are performing quite well, and standing wine bars are becoming more popular, particularly among middle-aged and older men. Off-premise o Off-premise consumption has increased as well. Supermarkets are carrying more inexpensive (under ¥1000 JPY or $12.66) wines, and premium wines are increasingly being consumed from online sources.

  • Yufuin Shochu
    YUFUIN WHITE Shochu Yatsushika Brewery, Oita Prefecture SHOCHU DETAILS: Raw Material: Barley Alcohol: 20% Distillation: Single ABOUT SHOCHU Shochu is a distilled spirit native to Japan since the 15th century. It originated on the southern island of Kyushu, which remains its heart, but is now produced all over Japan. Shochu can be distilled from many different ingredients, but barley, rice and sweet potato are the most common. Shochu is unique from other categories of distilled spirits because it begins with a grain inoculated with koji-kin, similar to sake production. The koji is then fermented in the same way a sake starter is created, following which the mash is distilled, filtered, stored and bottled. Until the 1970s, shochu was only consumed in southern Japan, but its appeal began to travel and resulted in a national boom. In 2003, domestic shochu sales surpassed sake and have never looked back. ABOUT THE DISTILLERY Yatsushika brewery was founded in 1864 by Toukou Aso (first generation), and was strictly a sake producer for 200 years. As the popularity for sake waned, Yatsushika expanded into shochu production. Deep in the scenic Kuju Mountain Range of Oita prefecture lies Yatsushika brewery. Commonly known as the ‘roof of Kyushu,’ this area is the leading producer of barley shochu in Japan. Nestled in the bosom of nature, the secret of Yatsushika’s flavor is twofold: the clear, fresh water delivered to the brewery by a 250 meter well tapping into a natural underwater spring, and the winter climate perfect for cold brew with temperature reaching 14 degrees F.

In the case of honkaku shochu, black koji fungus (Aspergillus luchuensis) or white koji fungus (Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii) is used to (1) saccharify the starch contained in the ingredients, (2) produce citric acid to prevent microbial spoilage, and (3) give the liquor its unique flavor. In order to make delicious shochu, when cultivating koji fungus during the shochu production process, we use a Citation: Hayashi, K.; Kajiwara, Y.; unique temperature control method to ensure that these three important elements, which greatly Futagami, T.; Goto, M.; Takashita, H.

Hawaii’s first brewery opened in 1854. ▪ Hawai‘i’s first full-scale brewery appeared in April 15, 1854. ▪ The Polynesian, a weekly newspaper, carried an unchanging one-column advertisement. Titled “Honolulu Brewery.—Genuine Beer,” the ad stated: “The undersigned, having established a Brewery in Honolulu, Fort street, opposite the French Hotel, are now prepared to supply families, hotels, boardinghouses and bar rooms, in bottles or in kegs. This beer is made of barley and hops only,—contains no alcohol. .” ▪ On October 28, 1854, the ad was retitled “Honolulu Brewery Malt Beer,” and the reference to its non-alcoholic contents was deleted The Royal Brewery, 553 South Queen Street In 1899, a New York architect designed a brewery building to the specifications of the Honolulu Brewing and Malt company. The four story building on Queen Street is of grand proportion and a rare architectural statement with its three-story brick arches, corbels, and intricate patterns reflecting the finest masonry craftsmanship of the time.

  • Shochu & Awamori
    本格焼酎・泡盛 | Honkaku Shochu & Awamori 本格焼酎泡盛 What is Fermentation Method The most distinctive features of the shochu production process are fermentation with koji, Honkaku Shochu ? and the use of pot distillation. Koji-kin is a type of mold indigenous to Japan. & Awamori? Distillation Method There are two types of pot distillation: atmospheric and reduced pressure distillation. Honkaku shochu and awamori are classified as pot distillation in which the spirit retains the rich aroma of the ingredients. On the other hand, continuous distillation, as the name suggests, involves continuously repeated distillation. This is used to eiciently produce high concentrations of alcohol, without the flavor and aroma of the ingredients. Shochu made from natural ingredients, in old-fashioned ways, and batch distilled (oicially called "otsu-type shochu") is called honkaku shochu. Within that category, shochu made in Okinawa Prefecture is called "awamori". Honkaku shochu and awamori are distilled liquors, as are whisky, brandy, and vodka, but the dierence lies in how the raw material starch is converted into sugar. Western distilled liquors use large amounts of barley or other raw materials of abundant sugar content. Korean soju, Chinese baijiu, and other Eastern distilled liquors use koji. Diverse Raw Materials Stainless Steel Pot Still Wooden Pot Still Sweet Potato Barley Rice Brown Sugar Buckwheat Maturation Method Compared to foreign distilled liquors, the raw materials (for shochu) are truly diverse, Aer distillation, they are placed in jars, barrels, or tanks to including sweet potato, barley, rice, brown sugar, and buckwheat. mature.
