In fiscal year 2018, the export volume of craft beer manufactured by microbreweries in Japan amounted to 1,619 kiloliters, an increase from just over one thousand kiloliters in fiscal 2015. Due to the high costs incurred through liquor exports, microbreweries distribute their products predominantly in the domestic market.
