Japan's beer exports to South Korea dry up amid boycott

TOKYO - Not a single drop of Japanese beer was exported to South Korea last month, according to official figures on Thursday , as a boycott campaign against Japan over a historical dispute dries up demand.

But the finance ministry in Tokyo said exports had plunged to zero, as the two countries remain locked in a dispute over trade and Japanese war-time atrocities. Boycotts of Japanese brands by South Korean consumers have also hit other companies, including Fast Retailing’s Uniqlo and the country's carmakers.

This infuriated Tokyo, with Japan insisting the matter was settled in a 1965 treaty normalising diplomatic relations between the two countries, which included significant reparations.
