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.
