This is my second bottle of Kabuto this summer.
This is the second of three bottles I purchased with the intention of opening one each in June, July, and August. As soon as I drink this one, I will have only one bottle left. I never thought I would realize how short summer is in this way.
Today was a midsummer day with a high temperature of 38 degrees.
Even at night, it was still 30 degrees Celsius, so I opened the bottle thinking, "There is no other way but today! So I opened the bottle.
I put ice in the bottle right from the start and took a sip of the refreshing saké with a cool clinking sound. It was a great decision.
The first time I drank the first bottle, I was a little confused by the unexperienced acidity and lightness, but today I found myself wanting more of it. I am very glad that I bought it, but at the same time, I have a touch of regret that three bottles were definitely not enough.
I sliced the octopus into thin slices and had it with carpaccio. The acidity of the lemon juice in the carpaccio and the sourness of the kabutomushi blended seamlessly without any difference in level, a pleasant sensation. The lingering bitterness, reminiscent of citrus peel, gives the dish a cool and crisp feeling, bringing back the waning appetite.
By the end of the appetizers, I was feeling rather hungry, followed by two bowls of spicy homemade curry. It is the perfect drink for summer, including that part.

Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby 😊.
When I bought my third bottle, I thought it would be safe for this summer, but it wasn't even close 💦.
Now I'm after a bottle of Mimasu Sake Brewery's direct-drafted light nigori Kabutomushi 🎯.
