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
