The bottle with cups shows sake – though in Japan the drink is called nihonshu; sake there simply means alcohol.

One firm rule applies: you do not pour for yourself, you pour for each other. Leaving your cup empty signals that you have had enough. Sake also has a role in Shintō – as an offering and at weddings in the san-san-kudo, the three-times-three sips shared by the couple.
