| The tradition of giving military sake cups hasn't disappeared, but now the number of military people is quite low and the popularity of cups is also low. It seems that the modern SDF awards cups for various awards, merit prizes, and long service. Now porcelain cups have gone out of favor, and the gold plated metal ones are the most common. Many of the military symbols are similar to pre-1945 insignia. JGSDF: Japan Ground Self-Defense Force JASDF: Japan Air Self-Defense Force JMSDF: Japan Marine Self-Defense Force |
