Ishutsu (removal from the brewery)

Ishutsu (移出) refers to the removal of sake and other alcoholic beverages from the place of manufacture. It is an important process under Japan's Liquor Tax Act, serving as a procedure for managing the shipment and distribution of alcoholic beverages. When ishutsu takes place, it is confirmed that the appropriate tax has been paid, after which the products are sent on to distributors and consumers. This process is important for ensuring quality control and proper distribution of alcoholic beverages.
