The sales volume of low-malt beer (happoshu) in Japan amounted to around 567 thousand kiloliters in fiscal year 2022, a decrease from 748 thousand kiloliters in fiscal 2013. Happoshu refers to beer-like beverages with a malt content below 50 percent in Japan. The low-malt beverage was considered a cheaper alternative to beer until tax rates were raised on malt beverages. This resulted in a significant decline in sales in the previous years.
