As a unique historical culture of Japan, sake has always been a 'representative of high-quality food'. But it turned out that in the 1970s, the Japanese market had a period of 'deteriorating quality due to overproduction'. In order to protect the reputation of Japanese sake, a group of experts established the 'Japan Prestige Sake Association' in 1975 and aimed at reviving the Japanese sake industry. Today, the association is cooperating more than 120 breweries and 1,700 sales points across Japan. They also invite experts twice a year for quality verification and held technical exchange meetings in order to keep improving the quality of sake. In addition to 'finding good sakes', the association will also 'make' high-quality sakes. Based on the results of the research, they will find out the people's favorite taste, and cooperate with the sake store to launch a special customized version of the famous wineries, so that sake lovers can find the ideal Japanese sake.
