Obtained these two unopened bottles of Saki ( at least I think that's what is in them) from a USMC Mess facility which may have been on Okinawa as the man who had owned the items had been through there on the way to Viet Nam in 1967. I suppose they could be from anywhere over there, but don't know for sure. I've never tasted Saki , but I don't want to open these to try it. 50 years old...hmmm? Does it improve with age?

Yes, it is sake.

Sake is more similar to beer than, say, whisky, so drinking a roughly fifty year old bottle of cheap beer from a military mess would basically be the same as drinking that.

Great collectible bottles, though, with the old Marine Corps label. Nice find!

Sake it's just like water, just chug it! ;)

Great items though, I remeber my grandpa having pictures of those similar looking that bottles his brother got from the marines.
