Primary-source correction: Article5 specifies distillation below95%ABV, not the book's no-higher-than95%. The standard took effect April1,2021; qualifying pre-existing labels had a transition through March31,2024. Article5 requires malted grain but does not itself express Broom's only-malt-for-saccharification wording. Do not rely on this book alone for koji rules or current legal status. Use the dated primary text for teaching and retain the book's account as secondary commentary.
Preserved Notion sheets176–177, displayed p.109. Most requirements and the membership/law distinction occur on177 rather than the previously cited176 alone.
Broom describes the2021 JSLMA Japanese-whisky labeling agreement as an association standard for domestic production, maturation and bottling, and distinguishes it from statutory law; his summary requires correction against the primary standard.
