I almost put this in the General forum, but it's from Japan, and the little forum description says "Jap nostalgia only!".

This was a gift from a friend, I think it was a door prize or intended for a game of janken (rock-paper-scissors), and was diverted to a goodie bag for me.

It is a custom label bottle of sake from Nukata, with a 1971 Bellett 1800 GT on the label. In the US, you can have wine bottles made with a custom label, whatever you want to put on them, as a special gift or for corporate promotion. But these are only available with western grape wine. In Japan, they can do the same thing with Sake. And this was apparently a pretty good grade of sake. It was sacrificed for New Years a few years ago, and still tasted better than the domestic cooking wine grade sake, despite being a couple years past its expected six month life span.

I finally got the address deciphered from the label, and this guy is now on my Christmas card list.

Great story and an exceptional bit of "Bellettautomemorabilia".We all expect to see it on display at Coona next year.
