ルツクハ
ルツクハ is ハクツル(白鶴) written in reverse order. Japanese was written from right to left in horizontal writing until mid 20th century. Some labels still use the system to express their tradition and authenticity.
白鶴 is a famous sake brand. According to the company's website, the name has been used since 1747.
