Japanese Women Breaking Taboos in Sake BrewingπΉ
At dawn, Miye Takahashi, a brewer at her family-run sake brewery Kotenβa 150-year-old establishment at the foot of the Japanese Alpsβchecks the temperature of fermenting sake.π―π―π―
Takahashi is one of a small group of female tΕji (sake brewers) in Japan. Despite there being over 1,000 sake breweries nationwide, only 33 women are registered with the Japan Brewers Association as tΕji. Until after World War II, women were largely excluded from sake brewing.π«€π«€π«€
Sake brewing has a history of over a thousand years and is deeply rooted in Japanβs traditional Shinto practices. However, during the Edo period (1603β1868), when sake began to be mass-produced, an unwritten rule emerged that forbade women from entering the breweries.πππ

Consequently, the court stated that the current legal framework, which excludes same-sex couples from marriage, infringes on the right of individuals to pursue happiness by choosing a same-sex partner.πΊπΊπΊ
