Nectar

Japanese: ネクター(英語表記)nectar
Nectar

A sweet, thick, rich drink made from a puree made by crushing or straining fruit, boiling it down, and concentrating it, then adding fruit juice and sweeteners. ◇When it was first introduced to Japan, it was a registered trademark used by the Japan Fruit Juice Association and several major manufacturers, and there were voluntary regulations for its use, such as the amount of fruit pulp content, but after changes to the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), there are no longer any official domestic regulations regarding the word. However, internationally, there is a standard for "fruit nectar" in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), which is not binding on each country, but products in Japan generally meet this standard. ◇From the name of a drink in Greek mythology that the gods drank and that is said to grant immortality to those who drink it.

Japanese:

果実をすりつぶしたり裏ごししたり、これを煮詰めて濃縮したりして作ったピューレを用い、果汁、甘味料などを加えて作る、甘くてどろりとした濃厚な飲み物。◇日本に導入された当初は、社団法人日本果汁協会と大手メーカー数社で用いた登録商標で、使用には果肉の含有量などの自主規定があったが、日本農林規格(JAS)の変更などを経てこの語に関する国内の公的な規定はなくなった。ただし、国際的には、国連食糧農業機関(FAO)と世界保健機関(WHO)が合同で定めた食品規格コーデックス(CODEX)に「fruit nectar」に関する規格があり、各国に対し強制力はないが、日本国内の製品はおおむねこの規格を満たすものとなっている。◇ギリシア神話で、神々が飲み、また飲む者を不老不死にするとされる酒の名から。
