Japanese for the blind

We know that there are three different scripts used to write Japanese. Well actually there are four, because you can also write Japanese in Braille. The "standard" Braille 'alphabet' is used, but now it stands for Kana characters.

Only one Braille script is used, IE: it would map to BOTH Hiragona and Katakana characters with the same 'sound'.
The script is known as tenji (点字?) or "dot characters".
Here is a can of dry beer marked as 'sake' in Braille.
