In fiscal year 2021, the production volume of liquor in Japan remained below eight billion liters for the eighth consecutive year, with around 7.3 billion liters. The Japanese liquor market encompasses a variety of low-alcohol mixed drinks and hard liquors, with beer and liqueurs representing the staple products of the alcoholic drinks production.
Liqueurs in Japan refer to a broad spectrum of liquors with an alcohol content of over two percent. Apart from general liqueur, the category includes mixed drinks such as highballs and sours. Lower tax rates coupled with the large variety of commercially available products have been boosting the popularity of liqueurs. With sales on a gradual increase in recent years, liqueurs are the main contenders for overthrowing beer as the top seller in the domestic alcoholic beverage market.
