Japan reclaims top spot in S. Korea's imported beer market

Imported canned beer is displayed at a retail store in Seoul on Jan. 17, 2024. According to the customs service, the country's imports of Japanese beer in 2023 were tallied at US$55.51 million, up 283.3 percent on-year, retaking the top spot among foreign beer brands after five years. This resurgence comes after Japan imposed export restrictions on its semiconductor materials to South Korea in July 2019, causing a massive boycott of Japanese products in the country. (Yonhap)
