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.

Pretty cool find. The sake is perfectly safe to consume if you wanted to try it. Usually people prefer to drink sake that's been in the bottle for less than a year. After that the taste and smell changes a bit. Aged sake is a thing though.

That's good info. I knew sake generally was drink when bottled so thought it would def be bad, but with your comment I did a little research and it seems indeed it would be perfectly fine to drink, maybe not the flavor it was designed for but safe. Thanks.
