The Embassy of Japan, New Delhi, has filed an application seeking Geographical Indication (GI) tag for ‘Nihonshu’/Japanese sake, an alcoholic beverage.
This is the first time a product from Japan has filed for a tag at the Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai
It is regarded as a special and valuable beverage made from fermenting rice.
People traditionally drink ‘Nihonshu’ on special occasions, such as festivals, weddings or funerals, but it is also consumed on a daily basis. Thus, it is an integral part of the lifestyle and culture in Japan.
The shake market (almost all are ‘Nihonshu’) is the second largest brewed liquor (such as beer) market in Japan.
