I have seen it done, but unfortunately I have even seen the pronunciation given wrong too.

I think Coumbine's suggestion of listing it as nihonshuu would be a definite improvement.

But then my aggravation is having to translate umeshu to "plum wine" for waitstaff who don't speak even basic Japanese in Japanese restaurants.
