Due to amendments to Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) in 2004, among the methods, 'New type brewing method' (former name), the method of mixing to moromi is determined as 'Mixed fermented method,' and the method of mixing to kiage soy-sauce and 'Amino acid adding method' (former name) were determined as 'Mixed method.'
平成16年のJAS（日本農林規格）の改正に伴い、旧名「新式醸造」のうち混合先が諸味のものが「混合醸造方式」となり、混合先が諸味ではなく生揚げ醤油なものと旧名「アミノ酸添加法」が「混合方式」と変更された。
