Gō (unit of measurement)

The (sometimes also written go or gou) is a traditional Japanese unit of volume. One gō is equivalent to 0.19122 liters.Although it is no longer used officially, rice and sake are often measured in gō. As a rule of thumb, one gō is equivalent to about 150 grams of Japanese short grain rice. A gō is 1/1000 of a koku, the base unit which was historically defined as the amount of rice needed to feed one person for a year. It is a very old unit of measurement and recently there has been some attempts of revival which have met with success; several more things are now being measured in gō like traditional Japanese fish (especially the dangerous Fugu) and several restaurants have re-instated it as part of a more traditionalistic way of seeing the country's culture.
