An advisory panel to UNESCO has recommended Japan’s traditional knowledge and skills for making sake and “shochu” distilled spirits be included in its Intangible Cultural Heritage list, putting their listing on course for formal endorsement later this year, Japan’s culture agency said Tuesday.
Japan’s top government spokesman, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, said the recommendation for listing the key culture “brings us great joy,” adding Japan will continue to promote the industry by “sharing its historical and cultural richness with people worldwide.” “It is an honor for Japan’s sake brewing,” said Hideharu Ota, the 64-year-old president of Daishichi Sake Brewery Co., a sake brewery in Japan’s northeastern Fukushima Prefecture. “I hope people will renew their interest in Japan’s world-recognized sake.”
