VTG 1980s Japanese Sake Bottle Ao Fushimi (伏見 青) Tokkuri Geisha Samurai. New never opened with Original Cork.

Sake, a Japanese alcoholic beverage, is made from rice, water, koji, and yeast. Traditionally sake is sipped cold, hot, or on ice, but also with soda and/or lime juice. Unopened, sake is best drunk within 12 months of the bottling date or 2 years if kept in a cool storage/refrigerated. When unopened, sake does not spoil, but the flavors and aromas can change over time.
