TOKYO -- An association of seven time-honored Japanese sake brewers has developed standards for certifying the quality of well-aged sake as part of efforts to promote sales of high-quality koshu, or vintage sake.
For koshu certification, the Kyoto-based Tokisake Association requires that rice grown in Japan be used and that the beverage is aged for at least 10 years. Brewers are required to keep records of production.
