Liqueur was the most sold liquor in Japan in fiscal year 2022, with a sales volume of around 2.3 million kiloliters. While the second ranked beer is a popular alcoholic beverage in Japan, sales have been affected by rising liquor taxes and the growing popularity of alternatives like low-malt beer (happoshu) and malt-less beer (daisan beer), which is partially classified as liqueur.
