Japan Plans to Cut Food and Beverage Consumption Tax to 1% for Two Years from April 2027

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced plans to reduce the consumption tax on food and beverages from 8% to 1% for two years starting April 2027. The government will proceed despite a cross-party panel failing to reach consensus on funding and permanence. Cash subsidies for eligible households, costing about 600 billion yen annually, will begin as early as autumn 2027. The 1% rate was chosen over 0% to ease the burden on retailers reprogramming cash registers.

Luzhou Laojiao Relaunches Low-Alcohol Brand Gaoguang with 28-Degree Product in 2026

In 2026, Luzhou Laojiao relaunched its low-alcohol brand Gaoguang, launching a 28-degree product tied to a concert by singer Zhao Lusi. The launch generated high initial attention, but actual sales on e-commerce and social platforms did not match the hype. In contrast, Wuliangye's 29-degree "Yijian Qingxin" product achieved sales of over RMB 100 million within 60 days, and Moutai's Youmi blueberry sparkling wine sold more than 13,000 bottles on its first day on the iMoutai platform. The low-alcohol liquor market is growing, with the China Alcoholic Drinks Association predicting a market size of RMB 75 billion to 90 billion in 2026. Other liquor makers such as Gujing Gongjiu, Shanxi Fenjiu, Shede, and Shuijingfang have also launched low-alcohol, youth-oriented products.
