JAA is Japan's first water accreditation system, organized by the JASA, and is a competition focusing on water to allow producers and dealers to raise their name recognition, expand their sales networks and reconfirm the quality of their products. Aqua sommeliers will mainly conduct initial screening of products submitted for the competition and a team of judges, mostly comprising master aqua sommeliers, will conduct final screening.
Following strict screening by aqua sommeliers, platinum (grand-prix), gold and silver award-winning products are selected. The winning products will be awarded quality-guarantee labels, which the organizers hope will contribute to increasing a sense of security among consumers. Three European makers of water products participated in the past competitions.
