Purchased from Kawakami Sake Shop in Kumamoto.
Refreshing summer sake. The kuyo (nine days) is said to be the family crest of the Hosokawa family, lords of the Kumamoto domain.
It was described as clear, mineral, and slightly fizzy, and that's exactly what it was.
It tastes somewhere between melon and pear, and is slightly carbonated. Delicious!

Wadaya's hanpukai model. We compared the first and the second after a week. The first one was more refreshing, the second one was more banana-like, but after a week, the aroma was more refreshing, the third one was more refreshing, and the fourth one was more refreshing.
