Meiji Wine and Sake

Near the center of the Meijii Shrine are barrels of fine French wine and sake. The accompanying posters explain how they were donated to honor the modernizing, westernizing spirit of the Meiji Emperor and his consort. The Burgundy wine must be well aged by now, but the sake is apparently replenished every year.
