This sake is handled by "Kushikuma Sake Shop," a liquor store in Fukuoka City that offers a wide selection of excellent sake from all over Japan and Kyushu, selected by the owner's discerning taste. The name "h" is an acronym for "Hiyotsuru," "Hakata," and "Shikurima.
It has a slight carbonation, which is typical of unfiltered raw sake. It is not like this unless it is directly pumped.

The aroma is of rice. It has a petite texture that hits the tongue. I like it because it is sweet but also sharp. It also has umami. The aroma through the nose is gorgeous. It is wonderful.
