Probably. Shipping alcohol and glass is usually a problem. You can bring it back in your luggage when you return though.
2 :
It's dangerous to ship glass bottle. But we can buy canned sake in Japan. So it's better to ship canned ones.
3 :
You would have to check with the Canadian authorities about that. Be sure and send a good one though!!
4 :
theres a lot of sake in canada, whats the point of sending them a sake the best thing you can send is a japanese mountain bike, i've seen one and its very good compare to others
5 :
the canadian border services agency site says... "Determine whether or not the goods you want to import are subject to restrictions or other requirements. For example: Alcohol products: Check with the authority in your province or territory (i.e., liquor board or commission) for restrictions." http://sbinfocanada.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zu=http%3A//www.cbsa.gc.ca/sme-pme/i-guide-eng.html shipping alcohol shouldn't be too big a problem it's shipped all over the world somehow.

why don`t you tell your friend to just go to the liquor store and buy a bottle of sake, like a normal person.
7 :
To the people who suggest just going to the liquor store, the sake available outside Japan is usually not of the best quality. Simple.
