Sake bottle.

[mrscanman]

Hello.
I'm new to this forum so please forgive any breaches of etiquette.
I have a sake bottle which was found by my father in the ruins of Hiroshima in 1945. It has some writing on it and I was wondering if anyone could translate it and maybe give me some background on what it says.

Thank you in advance,

Alan.
