Before I got into sake, this beetle came out as a recommendation at a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant. Thinking about it now, it was so sweet and sour that I thought it wouldn't go well with Soba. This is a strange summer sake that reminds me of beetle food.
...To comment seriously, it is light, as summer sake should be, with a coolness from the malic acid and a freshness from the unpasteurized sake. I mean, it is a modern and experimental sake with the Amaneko standing of Shinsei.
Repeat Score] 2.0
First visit to an izakaya for a closing drink
The first drink of Kabutatsumushi
Subdued aroma
Citrusy and acidic
Kouei Kiku-ish
Complex taste with a hint of sake yeast
I see... This is a sake that sells well.
For some reason, I feel like pairing it with spring rolls!
At Tsukiyomi
Fresh and pleasant aroma, well-balanced with a pleasant lactic acidity and sweetness at the same time. A lingering aftertaste that seems to softly fade away. This is a drink to get hooked on!
It was not too sweet, but not too sweet either, just fresh and delicious. My wife, who is more of a wine and beer drinker than a sake drinker, was also impressed with the taste.
Good morning, Mr. Gedo😃.
Everyone loves beetles🌈Children can enjoy them in the forest🌳 and adults can enjoy them at home🏠.
A delicious low-alcoholic summer sake! Enjoy the variety 👋.
The last of the Sentori summer sake!
This is my first time drinking this gold.
It is a kijo sake, so it is thicker than the others and tastes a little like lactic acid.
Not so much among these three types.
★★★★★
This year, we will compare three kinds of sake.
Speaking of summer, Sengoku Kabutomushi!
As it is called "Adult Lemon Squash", it is sweet and sour and great as a summer sake!
