Mikazuki – the crescent moon bottle opener

All liquid products (or most of them) are stored in bottles. If the bottle is made of plastic, then it usually has a cap that opens with a twist. But bottles made of glass , especially the ones with fizzy drinks inside, have an air tight metal cap that needs a special tool to be opened with. This tool is called a bottle opener and designers have invented different and funny new looks for them. For example this particular bottle opener is called Mikazuki and it looks like a crescent moon.
