The Japanese beer industry has taken a pioneering step by introducing German technology, and it has been making great developments in brewing technology to achieve better quality and higher production efficiency to meet the needs of increased consumption and saving energy. More recently, a raft of cutting-edge products have been developed owing to the local unique Liquor Tax laws. For instance, products that do not use malt, and those that have health benefits such as low or no alcohol, low carbohydrates, and zero purine. Japanese brewing engineers have been making a dramatic impact toward achieving fully sustainable and innovative growth.
