More than 15 sake breweries have expressed their intention to participate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To address local quality control risks and the long lead times associated with container shipping, a new logistics network has been established that allows for transportation to be completed in 5 to 14 days via temperature-controlled air freight.
