A 100,000-yen "armor to wear on sake bottles" is selling like hotcakes to foreigners.
The "Bottle Armor," a yoroi that can be worn over sake bottles made by armor manufacturer Ohgoshi Chu Seisakusho in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, costs about 80,000 yen for a "mini" yoroi that can be worn over a wine bottle or a four-quart bottle, and about 100,000 yen for a one-quart bottle. This is the reason why these are popular among tourists from abroad, and why they have become high-end Japanese souvenirs....
