Total exported volume and value December 2020

The total export volume and value amount both continued to increase in December to about 3,060,000L and 3,560,000,000 JPY.

It was suspicious in previous several months that it only covered the loss in summer, but now we ca consider as a rise and expand of the world Sake market.

Exported volume by area December 2020

 Regarding the volume, obviously, it is a record high score, 3 months continuously. Increases in large markets such as Asia, America are outstanding.

Exported amount by area and its ratio December 2020

 There is a clear gap between the areas to rise and to fall. Asia markets shows a rise more than 50%, it means the markets are accepting Sake as one of the choice of alcohol to enjoy.

 In Europe, mostly the volume dropped except Northern Europe where import of alcohol is controlled by the government.

Average FOB price December 2020

 FOB keeps increasing at the level of record high. It is mostly because of the increase in the exported value in East Asia, the largest market. In the other area, the price of Sake exported is more or less the same, but in East Asia luxury Sake is wanted by upper class people.

Exchange rate February 2021

 The gap between USD and EUR is still wide.

 USD gained power back slightly against JPY, but EUR is getting stronger continuously against JPY.
