A new attempt by Gekkeikan.
It is an Argo with 5% alcohol by volume that claims to be surprisingly drinkable.
This is a new product that is the result of the seriousness of a major sake brewing company that wants people to enjoy sake even on weekdays.
I tried it because I wanted to experience the seriousness of a major company!
The appearance is pale yellow gold.
No gassiness.
The aroma is very mild but refreshing.
The main flavor is freshness of young pears, with some plums including acidity.
The riceiness is also quite noticeable.
Smooth mouthfeel.
After the unexpectedly firm sweetness and acidity, the refreshing rice and koji sensations spread with a strong sense of transparency, and it finishes with that same transparency.
The finish is sharp and has a short aftertaste.
It has a watery quality that makes it easy to drink, and it certainly has the feel of a sports drink!
The sweet and sourness accompanied by a slight alcohol bitterness has the feel of plum wine or apricot wine.
In a word, it is a "spodolite drink made with rice.
The fact that the only ingredients are rice and rice malt shows its spirit.
Gekkeikan's technical ability to commercialize an ultra-low-alcohol sake that can be stored at room temperature without the addition of brewing alcohol or sugar is a feat of excellence.
I would like to positively support their efforts to broaden the base of sake in various directions and to explore the fan base. ☺️📣
Hi Aladdin 😀
This is a much talked about drink in many ways, and I see you finally had a taste of it too😇.
I've been wondering about it too and finally found it yesterday and it's chilling in the cellar 😀.
Good evening, Yasube!
When it comes to Sake, I like to keep my range as wide as possible 😄 but I always end up drinking only a few brands 😅.
I'm looking forward to your check-in as well!
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
You drank it 😁👍I was curious too and bought it yesterday. Waiting 💤.
When I drink outside, I often drink chu-hi as my first drink to avoid getting drunk. I wish it could be that kind of sake 🥹.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I am looking forward to your impressions! This is a quicksilver opening change... seems ok 😁.
Cheers to the first glass of Argo, it might be drunk 🥂.
I think it would be wonderful if the drinkers could find different ways to drink and spread the word!
The rumored drink of the town! So I tried Argo! It's 5% alcohol by volume, so it's called Argo 😆.
I drank it yesterday, so I forgot about the top notes, but the overall taste is indeed sake, but with a very light taste overall. I thought the balance of sweetness and sourness was very good. I think the concept is to give people who have never had sake before a "0 to 1" experience, so it's a good and easy entry point to sake. ☺️I've always recommended Otters or something easy to drink to first-timers, but from now on I might as well promote Argo.
It was a good experience!
Thanks for the food 😆.
A popular alcoholic beverage. Purchased at a supermarket.
Lactic acid bacteria type flavor. I felt it was like Calpis with a refreshing, low-sweetness taste. Even if you are not good at sake, you can drink this one. It is easy to drink.
Good evening, Mr. Gula 🌛You quickly drank the hottest sake 🤣If it's easy to drink, I think it will be a success for sake beginners and weekday drinking sake 🙄I also want to enjoy it while thinking about the efforts of major companies 😁.
Good morning, Pon-chan. I found it in the supermarket! I was surprised to see it in the supermarket. Personally, I thought this was the way to go because it is easy to drink, although it is not enough for me 🍶.
Good morning, Nemuchi-san ☀I thought it was a good product because I think the concept is to encourage people to drink sake ☀I thought it was a good product 🍶.
Good morning, Gula 😀
You've been drinking the much talked about drink, well 😀.
I haven't discovered it yet, but if I come across it, I'd like to take it home 🤣.
I'd be happy if the diversity of sake makes more people like sake 😀.
Good morning Yasube-san ☀I found it when shopping for dinner and put it in my basket 😁I thought, as you said, it was a sake that I hoped would make me fall in love with sake 🍶.
Hi, Gula! I've been wondering about you since I saw the commercial 😄
I was secretly curious when I saw the commercial, but you are drinking it quickly 😆👍It looks just right for drinking at a hotel on a business trip...I don't have many business trips. 🤣
Hi MAJ, I'm sorry to hear that! I think this is a good place to have a quick drink. But I might drink a highball or something because it's not enough... lol
On my way home from work today, I bought this popular item at the convenience store in front of my house and drank it with my son for dinner 🍶.
Gekkeikan Argo
The first sip! What is this? No sake feeling. Slightly sweet and moderate acidity🤔.
If you drink it thinking it's sake, you'll think it's too thin, but if you drink it without any preconceptions, this is what it is 👍.
The aroma is slightly like rice bran, but also like sweet white wine.
Some people said it was like a sports drink, but I don't see why they would feel that way 🤔.
My son had a surprisingly high opinion of this, saying it's easy to drink and doesn't interfere with the taste of food 🥰.
Hello TOMO🌞.
I've heard that some of the big breweries are doing a good job lately, but the bottle looks like a certain Shinsei, and it looks like they're aware of the low alcohol trend.
Maybe it won't stick to me, a member of the perverted sake lovers group😅.
Hi, Matsuchiyo 😃
I guess low alcohol is the current trend in the whole alcohol industry.
It definitely doesn't stick to those who are used to drinking sake, especially the members of the kinky sake lovers group 🤣.
Hi tomo 🐦.
I was surprised to hear that you drink this sake 😳and you share the Sandesi with your son. I was so surprised 😳and he shared the Sandesi with his son 😆 Well, I guess he will drink it later 🤣.
If your son appreciates it so much, then the makers are a big success 😁.
Hello, TOMO 😀
I see you went to Argo 😀.
It's been talked about on the internet in so many ways, I've been wanting to try it but haven't come across it yet 😅.
Maybe I should visit the brewery 🤣.
Good evening, TOMO 🌛You drank the much talked about sake right away 😁Your son's high evaluation is proof of the corporate efforts of a major manufacturer 😊I guess those who are used to drinking sake should drink more Jikin after Argo 🤣.
Good evening, Pon 🌟.
My son's opinion is valuable because the opinion of young people who are getting away from alcohol is important 😌.
I would like to drink a strong drink though 😁.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌟.
This was a topic of conversation at the Kumamoto off-line meeting and I tried it 😋I hope this kind of experiment will help revitalize the sake industry 🙏.
Good evening, Nemuchi 🌟.
I think the company's efforts are great 😊I hope there are many entrances and many people are interested in sake 😁.
We have to enjoy our sake perverted 🤣.
Being a newcomer, I tried this sake right away.
The taste is clean and unobtrusive, but it is also very drinkable and nice.
I heated it up to try it out.
It tasted like an apple.
It is a delicious sake.
I have been waiting for this kind of sake! And?
5% alcohydrate is quite a bold statement!
At first, it was sold at room temperature, so I'll drink it as it is.
The aroma is sour.
The taste is... oh, yes? Is this sake?
It tastes like a slightly sweet and sour juice.
There is nothing like sake...what is going on here?
I feel it's like a sports drink without the peachiness of natural peach water...well, I don't know how to describe it...it's so light!
I tried drinking it chilled, and it definitely tastes better chilled!
I think it's good to drink it sometimes when you're tired of drinking strong sake.
It's not too sweet or sour, and I like it as a normal sake.
However, I don't think this is a good opportunity for me to try other sake.
I think it's a great approach because it's a big company, and it's amazing that they can do something like this with the sake production process.
P.S.
Please don't let the floor be dirty!
I wanted to drink it. I bought it at Aeon.
The alcohol content is 5 degrees. It is different from usual sake. It is not a sake, but a beer that goes well with Japanese food.
I think it is an interesting product with a stylish label and available in a small bottle.
Low-alcohol sake is growing these days.
We tried a sake from Gekkeikan, a major sake maker
The sweetness and sourness jumped in at once, and the lactic acid taste came in later.
This is not sake.
I can't talk about it in that range.
If you drink it on its own, I think it's sparkling and the coolness is enhanced!
It was a bit too flabby for my liking!
