Ge (unit)

[1] The Nationalist Government's 1929 Weights and Measures Act, effective 1 January 1930, set it equal to the deciliter (3.381 fl oz or 0.182 dry pt).

[2] The People's Republic of China confirmed that value in 1959, although it made the official Chinese name of the deciliter the fēnshēng (分升) and exempted TCM pharmacists from punishment for noncompliance with the new measure when traditional amounts were required for preparing medicine.

The gō or cup is a traditional Japanese unit based on the ge which is equal to 10 shaku or 1⁄10 shō.

The gō is the traditional amount used for a serving of rice and a cup of sake in Japanese cuisine.

Although the gō is no longer used as an official unit, 1-gō measuring cups or their 180 mL metric equivalents are often included with Japanese rice cookers.
