As some of you may recall my grandmother just died. We're going through her stuff. Found this bottle of old sake. My mom said she had no idea my grandma/her mom still had that. It was a gift my grandfather had been given at the end of WW2 (that he fought in), and he used to have in the house growing up, telling people he was "saving it for a special occassion."

I guess he never got around to it. I'm sure the sake is long since no good, but the bottle is pretty cool.

The text on the front says:

Highest grade Japanese Sake

Registered Trademark [of]

The Kamotsuru Brewing Company

(Brew Crane)

Kamotsuru is still operating. https://www.kamotsuru.jp/en/

The back is the insignia of the Kamotsuru Brewing Company and seems to indicate it's one unit for export consumption.

Wow. Thanks. I was gonna research it at some point for fun, just hadn't had the time to yet. Thanks for the great lean.

No prob. Just guessing on what the back bottom text says, it literally translated to "Field Talk"
