Abstract

As a cultural product, sake is as important in Japan as wine in Europe. Despite differences in scale, nature, and ingredients, these two beverages have experienced similar challenges in quality development. They have been the drink of elites and have contributed to the fortune of makers and merchants (Dion, 1959; Yunoki, 1998). They have also been regarded as popular beverages and ‘cheap calories’ (Nourrisson, 1990; Aoki, 2006); furthermore, both are now contested in their own territories by the globalization movement (Baumert, 2006). Consequently, their legislations are subject to examination. For example, the terroir model is now put into question even in France by the rise of new producing countries and the penetration of wine-based classification (Garcia-Papet, 2004). In Japan, the appreciation of quality, traditionally based on production standards, is now being questioned by the emergence of geographical classifications.
