What is aged sake NFT?

　Did you know that the popularity of Japanese sake is currently skyrocketing all over the world?
　While domestic consumption in Japan peaked in the 1990s and early 2000s, it has declined sharply, while the value of exports has jumped from 8.5 billion yen in 2010 to about 47.5 billion yen in 2022, more than 5.5 times. This shows the high level of attention it receives from around the world.

　Aged sake, which became NFT this time, is also one of the genres of sake. Like wine and whisky, aging for a long time not only changes the taste, aroma, and color, but also promotes the binding of alcohol, which is why it is said to be a drink that doesn’t cause you to get sick or a hangover. . These alcoholic beverages have the characteristic that if you hold them for a long period of time, you can enjoy the changes and their value will increase.
　Each sake brewery carefully selects sake whose flavor changes over time and offers them as aged sake NFT. The actual alcohol is managed by the sake brewery that issued the NFT in a dedicated storage facility, and the NFT owner has the right to exchange it for real alcohol at any time.

　By owning an aged sake NFT, each holder can help shape the brand image of sake itself, and also help spread Japanese culture to the world.
