Set to go into effect next month, the law is the first prefectural ordinance in the country designed to publicize shochu. The law not only encourages people to use local shochu to make toasts, it also includes stipulations on expanding and stabilizing sales channels, securing raw materials, improving production technologies and cultivating human resources for the industry. The head of the Kagoshima Prefecture Shochu Distillers Association, the group that lobbied the Assembly to consider the bill, said he would like people to \u201cwelcome visitors from other prefectures and other countries with shochu.\u201d Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 12\/19"}
