Paying homage to the Japanese classic film Godzilla, Ito Shigeaki has sculpted a bottle of Godzilla sake for purchase online. The 1989 film was based on the Japanese giant monster, and has had multiple re-releases and edits -- including one that will release in the summer of 2014.
This commemorative piece is sculpted ceramic, painted and detailed. The scaled body, fangs, red eyes and tail stay true to Godzilla in its original, horrifying form. The contents is also of interest: with a removable head, the figure contains wheat shochu, which is technically a stronger version of sake, but still delicious nonetheless.
The bottles will be released in a quantity limited to 3,000. They can be purchased online through Choujugura.
