1. World overall exporting volume and value amount of Sake 2019

The graph above shows the change in Volume (in liter) and Value amount (in JPY) of Sake exported from Japan in the period of November 2018-October 2019.

As you can see from the graph, Sake has a tendency of SEASONAL PRODUCT. As Winter comes(most of the exported countries are located in Northern Hemisphere) volume and price increases.

In addition, price follows the volume, as volume rises price also rise. It seams that as volume increase consumers expects varieties so the high-end products also export in the period.

One of the interesting tendency you can find from the graph is that from April volume decreases. It means this is the season for the promotional event and fair, so less export in this season.
