The top of the triangle B1 has to point towards the centre in order for this shape to be called sake bottle shape. Also, none of the Black stones should be in contact with any other stone, be it friend or foe. The distinctions may be important for the discussion of the controversial statement the sake bottle shape is negative. See /Discussion, sake bottle shape, textbook example and not the sake bottle shape.
