    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 2/21/2013 GAIN Report Number: JA3501 Japan Wine Annual Japan Wine Report 2012 Approved By: Steve Shnitzler, Director Prepared By: Sumio Thomas Aoki, Senior Marketing Specialist Kate Aoki, Intern Steven Ossorio, Intern Report Highlights: In 2012, the United States held a 7.7% value share of Japan's $1,037 million imported bottled wine market. 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.

After a few months, the rice was discarded Chirashi: is a bowl of sushi rice topped with a and only the fish would be eaten. variety of raw fish and vegetables. The Japanese liked to eat rice with the raw fish. Later, they started Maki: is cylindrical, generally wrapped in making special rice for sushi where they combined rice with vinegar and seaweed and contains one or two fillings. vegetables. During the 19th century, food stalls started selling sushi in Tokyo. Tamaki: is a large cone filled sushi with the filling spilling out the wide end. By the the 20th century, chefs from Tokyo started moving to other parts of Japan which helped make sushi popular all over the country. Nigiri: is an oblong mound of sushi rice, a hint of wasabi and a topping draped over it. Today, sushi has become a popular food for millions of people all over the world.

Tolentino*, Kevin L. Labrador, Jennifer P. Fronteras, Lani L. R. Bullo, Leslie P. M. Cancio, Joanne J.J. Añonuevo, Gabriel P.G. Eleria and Annabelle U. Novero College of Science and Mathematics, University of the Philippines Mindanao, Davao City 8022 Saccharomycopsis (Syn. Endomycopsis) bubodii 2066 is an isolate from bubod, a starter used in making rice wine in northern Philippines. We have shown that the yeast has amylolytic activity on raw sago starch. In our attempt to identify the putative raw starch-digesting amylase in S. bubodii, we determined the cDNA sequence of a glucoamylase gene. One primer pair that was designed based on a glucoamylase of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera HUT7212 (GLU1, NCBI Accession Number L25641.1) produced a sequence of 1234 base pairs. To obtain a wider coverage, a primer walking strategy was carried out using four primer pairs designed based on GLU1 gene. The generated sequence of 1535 base pairs shows 98.7 to 100% homology when aligned with glucoamylase genes from four strains of S. fibuligera suggesting that this glucoamylase is highly conserved between the Saccharomycopsis species. This work further reports a gene sequence of glucoamylase derived from Philippine-isolated yeast. The sequence is deposited in GenBank and assigned the accession number KP068007.1. The gene may be heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for possible utilization in the direct conversion of raw sago starch to bioethanol.

  • 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.
