Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. Gekkeikan Brewing Company +F. Argo Sake 5.0. Gekkeikan's new attempt to get people to drink sake on weekdays. Serve cold. The initial aroma is a little sour and slightly bran-like. The color is clear with a yellowish tinge. The smooth mouthfeel is quickly followed by a sweet and sour taste, with a slight lactic acid bacteria taste at the back. However, there is no alcohol taste at all. The sweet and sour taste and the rice taste are similar to Himezen, but clearer and lighter. It is drinkable and you can tell it is like a sports drink. With only 5% alcohol by volume, it has less punch and a totally different attack... It is better to drink it at room temperature rather than chilled. By the way, my wife, who does not drink alcohol, said it was "sweet" after taking a sip. My mother-in-law, who does not have much tolerance for alcohol, said, "What is this? It's so weak!" 😅I thought it was watery. My mother-in-law, who does not have much tolerance for alcohol, said, "What is this? I would like to genuinely support the corporate efforts of the major manufacturers as more and more people don't drink sake or alcohol itself 🎌. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Alcohol Content:5%.

Hi Nemuchi 😃 I've seen the much talked about Argo sold in large quantities at 7-Eleven and I'd like to try it 👍It's not chilled in the store, but from the taste it seems to be better served cold than in hiya 🙄.

Good evening, Nemuchi-san 🦉. It's nice to hear your wife's and mother-in-law's impressions of your sake 😊I drink chu-hi as my first drink when I go out, so I'm hoping to make a light sake that can compete with that 😁.

Good evening Robin 🌛I can't find it if I'm not looking for it, but it's a sake I can find if I'm not looking for it 😁In my opinion, if it's too cold it's hard to feel the flavor, it doesn't feel fizzy and I thought it's still less watery when it's cold 😅

Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛You beat me to the review 🤣Personal opinions vary, but mine was more like my mother-in-law's 😅It may be difficult to make 5% alcohol sake without any fizz 💦.
