Help ID Hallmarks, Japanese?

First post from newbie here. Hope someone can provide some info on this sake set that I just acquired today at an estate sale. Thank you!

Hi, indeed Japanese and I believe it reads;
純銀 pure silver.
The other mark could be a maker's/retailers mark unknown to me.
Congratulations, nice looking sake set made out of pure silver.

Thank you Peter.

Any idea of age?

The sake set is made in the Heisei period 1989-present


One of the characteristics of silverware in Japan is that it is tarnished. This is the spirit of Wabisabi — the beauty found in things being naturally shifted .
