Light and moderate sweetness and acidity
Light apple juice-like aroma
Much lighter and milder than the Himezen I once drank from Ichinokura (Himezen has 8% alcohol content).
Today, I went out to buy alcohol 🚗 and while I was there... I chose to try "Gekkeikan Argo" 😅 which was talked about for a while 😅 a long time ago.
I chose to try "Gekkeikan Argo" 🍶😊.
First of all, I'll have it on the rocks as recommended.
Mmmm... perfect for an introduction to Sake ⁉️
No, no 💦 it's a bit weak to feel the sake 😅.
But it's sweet and easy to drink so it might be good 🥰.
Saw it in a convenience store and bought it.
Low alcohol sake with 5% alcohol content
I'm not a strong sake drinker, so I get a little drunk after 2-3 gos of sake, but this one looks like it won't get me drunk at all!
It's like a juice!
No "shwashy" feeling, sweetness comes first, then sourness.
The taste does not linger so much.
It tastes like sakekasu (sake lees), and it's a taste of sake.
There is a slightly peculiar aroma in the nose (a little bit bitter).
I wish all sake were this low in alcohol content so I could try different flavors...
Serve with Gouda cheese and salmon kimchi
The cheese has a peculiar aroma that disappears nicely and goes well with the sake.
Kimchi may not be a good match because the taste is too strong and all you can taste is the sourness of the argos.
It has a strong sweetness, but also has a moderate acidity.
The smoothness of the wine makes it easy to drink, but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink.
It is low in alcohol (5%), so it is quite easy to drink, and I thought it was a delicious sake perfect for summer, with just the right amount of sweetness and lactic acidity that makes it drinkable like water on the rocks.
I tried it and I agree with the concept of low alcohol and easy to drink for beginners at any time, the taste is very sour and could be improved a little more.
Refreshing sweetness and acidity
And yet the umami is strong.
At first, the taste is a bit thin, but as you drink it and get used to it, it is surprisingly good.
It is good for a mealtime drink.
5% alcohol by volume, so it's not too much alcohol...
Easy to understand 😄.
I tasted Mr. Argo, which was much talked about.
To a sake drinker, it felt watery and light.
I'm not sure if it can really be called sake, but I respect the efforts of the makers to broaden the base of sake.
I am interested to see what kind of impression people who do not usually drink sake will have.
Argo, produced by Gekkeikan, has been on my mind for a long time. It is a unique sake with only rice and rice malt at this strength, in other words, it is a junmai type sake. The rice flavor is very light because it's just an ordinary sake, but it's perfect for those who are planning to debut a non-sparkling, authentic sake. The specifications of the sake, from the rice polishing ratio to the sake degree, were almost all unknown... However, I personally did not dislike the flavor, so I hope I can drink it again when I feel like it. After all, the world of sake is very deep! So, a new type of sake produced by a long-established sake brewery...delicious!
