i found this one cup sake the other day during my visit in Hakodate, Hokkaido Island!
Although this label is usually sold in Hakodate only the Brewery is actually from Sapporo, namely the Nihon Seishu Brewery but this particular brand, ChitoseTsuru is brewed in their branch brewery in Chitose, not far from the Chitose International airport!
The label depicts Gyaguzan, one of the most, if not most famous night view in Hakodate City!
