While there are various competitions for Japanese alcoholic beverages around the world, Kura Master focuses on "food and drink compatibility", which is also part of France's historical food culture.

The evaluation method is a 100-point scoring system. The judging criteria are aimed at French people and the French market. The judging criteria are developed by the jury with reference to wine competitions held in France and the evaluation method is determined by the jury.
