GI HAGI Japan - Geographical Indication
In Hagi, the six local breweries have united with local farmers to create the Hagi Sakamai Migaki Kyodo Kumiai 萩酒米磨き協同組合, or the Hagi Sake Rice Polishing Association. They grow Yamadanishiki in the Hagi area, then process (dry, grade, and polish) it locally at a Hagi facility for use by the sake breweries. This has been valuable in establishing the Hagi GI, because it allows for 100% traceability in the sake rice so that everyone knows all of the rice used was grown locally. It also allows for more stable supplies, cost control, and more income for farmers.
Under the law of Hong Kong, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor (under 18) in the course of business.
