"NAKAO" Sake Brand Collection T-shirt

This T-shirt features the logo of Nakao Brewery, which has been founded in 1871. The shirt is part of the brewery collection of Kume T-Shirt company that features logos of breweries and motifs from their sake brands. 
The main text reads: 大日本優等清酒 (backwards) - 大日本 = Great Japan   優等 = Surperior  清酒 = Refined Sake 
The  vertical logo on the front, back and sides reads: 誠鏡   -   誠 = truth  鏡 = mirror

The maker of the sake explains this as: "I want you to compare the expression of the sake poured into the cup to a mirror, and reflect the sincerity of the brewer who devotes himself to sake brewing in the finished sake."
Nakao Brewery inherits the spirit of "sincerity" and makes sake with great care. Historical labels were selected from the materials left in the brewery and placed on the right chest and back.
