Translating image of Japanese calligraphy

It's two sake sets for a friend and to decide between them, I'd quite like to know what it says on them.

Thank you!

The second one (the simpler looking one) simply says "sake" in a circle.
I cannot decipher the first one. It looks a bit too cluttered to be real.

I don't know if this will help

I guess first line is แก“ัŽqŒŽ(mizunoto tori ne zuki).

This means "November 1993" or "November 1933" written in Sexagenary cycle.

Also the second one is made in Japan while the first is made in China. Nothing against China but if I'm buying a sake set I'd like it to be Japanese.
