Japan seeks GI tag for Nihonshu

Nihonshu/Japanese sake, an alcoholic beverage, has been submitted for a Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Japanese Embassy in New Delhi.
This is the first product from Japan to submit an application for a tag at the Chennai Geographical Indication Registry.

Regarding Nihonshu

This fermenting rice-based beverage is regarded as a rare and priceless commodity.
Nihonshu is typically consumed on special occasions like holidays, weddings, and funerals, but it is also ingested every day.
As a result, it is fundamental to Japanese culture and lifestyle.
The second largest brewed liquor (such as beer) market in Japan is the sake market, which is almost exclusively nihonshu.

About GI Tag

It is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin.
In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place.
In addition, the qualities, characteristics or reputation of the product should be essentially due to the place of origin.
Since the qualities depend on the geographical place of production, there is a clear link between the product and its original place of production.
