Gekkeikan Argo Sparkling
Argo has been the subject of much controversy, but since there was a sparkling version, we decided to see if it would be controversial enough to drink.
I had it cold.
The color is clear, almost colorless, with a faint yellow tinge.
The aroma is apricot-like.
The mouthfeel is schwarzy and slightly effervescent. For a long time, fine bubbles rise from the bottom of the cup.
At first, you may think it is too loose and tasteless, but the carbonation accentuates the taste, and after swallowing, you can gradually taste a moderate sweetness and umami, and a hint of sourness in the fizzy, bubbly taste.
It has more flavor than ordinary Argo and is delicious.
When I first tried Argo, I thought it had a fizzy taste, so I thought it wasn't the same as Argo, but when I added carbon dioxide gas, it became a common sparkling sake, and I felt like there was no point in putting sake in the front. Still, I bow to the company's efforts.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), carbon dioxide
Alcohol content: 5%.
Hi Nemuchi 😃
I was thinking that if you were going to serve it later, you should have served it sparkling from the beginning 😅.
I'm surprised they don't manufacture it themselves 😳
You are a company that makes chu-hi 🧐.
Hi bouken 😃I personally enjoyed the sparkling Argo more 😅I was wondering if this one is manufactured differently, but I see it's where they make chu-hi 😳.
I bought it because I heard that Argo, which I had bought before, had a sparkling version. Since it is a low-alcohol sparkling sake, the flavor is in the same line as Mio, so it is suitable for people who are new to Ponzake or for those who want to enjoy a light drink. According to the specs on the Rakuten market, the rice used and the rice polishing ratio are undisclosed, but the following is a list of the ingredients.
Sake degree = -43
Acidity = 3.3
The same 250ml bottle of Mio is also available. It might be good to compare it with Mio, which is also 250ml. So, the low-alcohol sparkling from a long-established brewery was delicious 🙇.
Gekkeikan was holding a small-scale event at Kyoto station. I bought it as a souvenir.
It has a sour taste at first and a sweet taste later on.
It is slightly carbonated, so it gives the impression of being refreshing and easy to drink.
Chosen because it is light 🍶 for the body after a colonoscopy😄.
This is the newest addition to the Argo series, and it comes in a drinkable size!
Light aroma, light and mild on the palate, soft sweetness and light sourness with a plum-like flavor, not so much sake-like but easy to drink!
On the way to the liquor store, take a break at Kyoto Gyoen
Shizuya's mixed sandwiches and canned Argo
Open the can and gulp it down!
What's that? Is it easier to drink than the last one?
Was it my imagination that it seemed a little thicker?
That said, I drank it with a sandwich and I'm already popping 😆.
It's a can so it's easy to carry!
It doesn't look like alcohol, so I feel less guilty 🤭.
The third picture is at the entrance of Philosopher's Path near the liquor store.
We took a break and ate chestnut rice cakes here too 🍵.
Good evening, Ponchan 😊.
Argo...I've never actually had it and I often see it sold in supermarkets and convenience stores 😅...
It tastes like spodril 😳.
Good evening, Pon, ☺️
It's been a long time since we had a picnic series.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again 😋. I hope you enjoyed 😋 Adult Pocari.
I'm sure you enjoyed it 😁. I'm sure you enjoyed it 😁.
Pon, here you go too 😀.
This might be the perfect sports drink for you while you're walking for alcohol 🤣.
I also appreciate that it's a can if you're drinking it while walking: 🙆♂️
I mean, I've never seen Argo in a can before 🤣.
Pon.
Good morning♪
I envy you that you can stroll around Kyoto in your daily life 🤩It must be hard these days with so many foreign tourists... 💦I've never seen an Argo pull tab can before! From the rest of the world it doesn't look like they are daytime drinking 😁.
Hi Ponchan ☀☀☀☀.
I was wondering since you have cans out, does the taste impression change by drinking directly from the can like the difference in drinking vessels 🤔 just like how bottled cola tastes 😁.
Pon, here we go too😃.
I envy you being able to take a walk and have a drink in Kyoto with nice weather 🥹.
Oh, it's not alcohol, it's Pocari or ❗️ I mistook it for Argo because of the similar color 🤣.
Hi Kano, good evening 🦉.
I had a thinner impression when I drank it before, but this time it felt like a spud 🤔I can't dare to recommend it, but if you are curious, give it a try 😁.
Good evening, Hanapin 🦉🦉🦉🦉.
There seems to be 🐻 in the mountains behind our house, and if we stopped drinking our usual uptown picnic, we'd have fewer opportunities 💦 I haven't enjoyed it in a long time😊🎶.
Good evening, Yasbay 🦉🦉.
Yes, the taste and the low alcohol content are perfect 🤣.
I also bought the can because it was my first time to buy it 😊The fact that they came out with this type too means it might be quite popular!
Good evening, Kobo-san!
The other day I went to Nijo Castle and most of the people there were foreign tourists 😳I was surprised to see people everywhere, even in the Gyoen, whereas when I was a kid there were only a few places to see the sights! I was surprised to see so many people everywhere!
Good evening, Uchi~'s super~rippa🦉.
I see you were in Kyoto 😊Oh, by the way, they are having an event tasting at the station building! You really know your stuff 😳👍
Good evening, bouken🦉.
Oh, I see! The container may change the taste 😳I just wondered if Mr. Gekkeikan changed the taste as soon as he saw everyone's feedback 😆If the container makes it better, then it's a great success 😊.
Good evening, Hiro!
Yes, it's Pocari! You shouldn't drink alcohol in a tourist area🤣.
In fact, I drank it in a less public place because I didn't think it would be good 🤭.
Ucchi-San, so you know a lot about stores and such 😆I'll let you know if there are any events at Kyoto station or Shijo...it seems like they are doing something every Saturday and Sunday this month on the basement of the Kyoto Tower building. If you've been there already 🙏.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🦉🦉.
I guess we'll be gathering at Kyoto Gyoen with cans of sake 😆 I hope we'll have more friends 😁 This time of year is neither hot nor cold, so it's a perfect picnic drinking day 🎶.
Another bottle of Grui.
Gekkeikan low-alcohol sake.
Purchased at a supermarket in Takayama.
The aroma is nutty.
The taste is similar to that of Calpis.
It tastes like a lactobacillus drink diluted with a lot of water.
I sometimes want to drink something like this.
Alcoholic beverages that were lying in the back of the vegetable room? Unearthed.
It is a very low al 5% argo.
In the mouth, there is no bitterness or sourness. It is a light sweet sake with a hint of koji aroma. It is like an elegant "taco high.
I am puzzled by the difference from the "Kaze no Mori" I had just before, but I think this is fine. It may be okay if you are drinking outside.
However, if I were to drink it at home, I would probably buy a less expensive sake.
Gorgeous aroma.
Sweet on the palate with a hint of sourness still present, but the pungency is superbly subdued.
Sweetness remains in the aftertaste.
Overall, it tastes like wine.
Alcohol 5%.
Sake level low
Acidity low
Star ⭐️
Argo is now available in cans, and I immediately tried drinking it. As usual, it is an apple-like liquor.
And I also felt a kind of peculiar drug smell.
Well, it is a delicious drink.
Camping ⛺️ always goes from fall to spring when the bugs🐝🪲🕷️😱 are less of a problem. Here is my check-in from last fall🍂camping. It was like juice, like near water, like water 😆 light and refreshing and I personally felt it was not enough😗.
Label: 🏷️
Low Difficulty.
I took it to fall camp and just threw it away 😭I'll have to buy it again 😂.
Where to buy:Wellcia Nishiwaki Ueno store
