Let's decipher stylized kanji!

Difficult. Maybe 石鎚?
槽搾り( ふねしぼり):

「槽搾り」は、木などつくられた細長い酒槽に、醪を入れた酒袋を何層にも重ね押し蓋をして、上から圧を掛けて搾ること。槽搾りで原始的なのが、てこの原理を応用して圧を掛けるハネキ搾り。

丁度いい! でも発音はちょっと奇妙です。振り仮名は「イシジチ」とかきます。

Summary

The ship has come in and my favourite Sake importer has restocked with some bonkers good bottles.

This beautiful example has a brocade label. The kanji is hard.

I recognize the dragon right away, but the other one I don’t know what it means. (I spoiled the red ones before looking, but they seem pretty recognizable).

A friend of mine sent me this today. Some are easy, some are horrible, perfect fun for all ages (or abilities, whatever)!

沖縄・琉球には(龍)は珍しいとは限れないです。

This is more historical rather than indecipherable, but what on earth is that kana on the right? I mean, it’s clearly meant to be a し, cause it’s しんばし written right-to-left, but why’s it look like that?

That shows as nothing. Is it not from 志?
