MALIO (non alcoholic sparkling wine)

December 24th

 
 
     Today, I enjoyed this drink with my friends and teacher. It was the last lesson in this semester, so the teacher decided to held a party. Then I brought it to the party.

 

 

     As you can see at the tittle, it doesn't any alcohol, so it will never cause hanging over. You can enjoy drinking as much as you want. The scent is like real red wine, but the taste is completely just grape juice. So you can enjoy the mood of the party without alcohol. I think it is good for couples under the 20 years old (In Japan, it is banned for a person who is under 20 years old to drink alcohol). And also, it is good on Christmas which is tomorrow.

     Anyway, we had a good time with it. I recommend you!!

 

My Point of non alcoholic sparkling wine: ★★★★★

 

Have a nice Christmas!!

 

 

GOKURI

December 23th

     Today, I drank GOKURI produced by SUNTORY. After working at the library, I was really thirsty, so I went to a vending machine and then I found it. The can is smaller than normals (350 ml). So, it means that it is more expensive than normal, but I decided to buy it.

 

 

 

    When I opened the can, the fruity scent spread  immediately. It was awesome. The taste was also really mild. It was containing grape, apple and orange pulp. Sooo Sweet. I will defenetly　buy it next time.

My Point of GOKURI:★★★★☆

 

You can buy it at this campus. So if you have a chance, BUY & TRY !!!

Local-Black Beer from Shiga

December 22th

    Today, I drank a bottle of local-black beer. I drank normal local beer before, but in this time, it was black version. When I drank it, first of all I felt it was very mild. I thought it was milder than local beer I drank before. But I prefer normal one because black one's aftertaste is not good.

 

 

 

     Anyway, I think it is good with meat dishes. It makes good harmony with this beer!! And also, it is easy for a person who doesn't care for beer to drink it.

 

My Point of this local black beer:★★☆☆☆

 

 

If you are interested in it, please TRY!!

 

My Original Cocktail (Plum Liqueur & ORANGINA)



December 17th

 

     Today, I created my original coktail. I had heard that plum and orange are well-compatibility, so I decided to make the coktail with those products. It was really easy to make it. Just mix together softly as not to go it flat (ratio of 1:1). 

 

 

 

     It tastes strange, but really good!! I recommend you. It was a real coktail which we can drink in the bars.

 

MY POINTS of My Coktail:★★★★☆

 

You can also make it easily and create your own coktail!!!!!



Local Beer from Shiga

December 15th

     Today, I drank a bottle of local beer which was produced in Nagahama, Shiga. This was the first time for me to drink local beer. I had thought that it was same as like KIRIN's, SUNTORY's, ASAHI's and SAPPORO's beers until I drank it, but it was completely different from tose kinds of beer.

     I think it tastes more bitter than normal beers, but it leaves a pleasant aftertaste. And also, it is good with Japanese dishes especially grilled fish and tempura, I think.

MY POINTS of THIS BEER:　★★★☆☆

     As far as I know, it is sold in only LIQUOR MOUNTAIN, so if you want to try it, GO to LIQUOR MOUNTAIN.

Soybean Milk ② ('Yakiimo',sweet baked potato flavor)

December 12th

 

 

     Today, I will write about soybean milk again, but in this time, it is different flavor. It is 'Yakiimo', sweet baked potato flavor. It tastes really good as well as melon flavor. And also, it is not too sweet and like eating real sweet baked potato.

 

 

 

     As I said before, soybean milk is really good for our health. And this one is also good because it contains the most dietary fiber of all kinds of soybeans milk products.

     Anyway, in Tsuda area, you can buy it in only Heiwadou (infront of Tsudacyu-bus stop). So, if you want to try it, go to Heiwado.

 

My Points of Yakiimo flavor: ★★★☆☆

 



Soybean Milk ①(melon flavor)

December 3th

     It has been a long time since  I posted my last blog. I was really busy last month. Since November came, I have cared my health because I kept irregular hours. So, I decided to drink soybean milk instead of alcohol. I have tried to drink many kinds of soybean milk flavored with strawberries, Japanese tea, banana,  mixed fruits, maroon and so on.

 

 

Then, I think that soybean milk flavored the best of all products. It doesn't taste soybeans and it is like melon-milk juice.  And also, it is easy to drink. Soooo Yummmy !!!!!

My Points of This Product:★★★★★

 

If you care about your health, try it!!!!

 

TORETATE-HOP (KIRIN-beer)

 

November 10th

 

     Today, I tried to taste a can of beer called Toreate-Hop which has been sold since October 29th. It is made from the hop which is farmed and harvested in Iwate prefecture. This deed by KIRIN corporation is a part of revival for Tohoku where the big earthquake happened in March 11th.

 

 

      When I opened the can, the scent of fresh pop was in wafting through the air. The sound when I poured to glass was really nice. After drinking, it was so clear and a little bit more bitter than normal Japaneses beer we often drink, I thought.
     In addition, a part of profit of this beer will be given to farmers in Tohoku for revival, so it means you can enjoy the beer, and at the same time, you can help revive for Tohoku!!!

MY POINT of TORETATE-HOP : ★★★★☆

Try this so fresh beer before being sold out!!!

 

Cocktail Smoothie (cocktail in a can)

On October 30th

Today, I bought a cocktail in a can called "Cocktail Smoothie". It

is being produced by SUNTORY corporation. It cost 128 yen in LIQUOR MOUNTAIN. It is a new product which has been sold from October, so I really wanted to try it.

 After drinking it, it was really good!! It didn't contain much, but the flavor was really amazing. I hope it can be produced with a larger-sized can. Anyway I will definately buy it again.

MY POINT OF Cocktail Smoothie: ★★★★☆

If you love cocktail, I will recommened you!! TRY IT :)





 





MIO (Sparkling Japanese alcohol)

On October 27th

I tried to drink a new product called MIO which is produced by TAKARA corporation in Japan. It looked very nice and the price is not unreasonable. I bought it at LIQUOR MOUNTAIN in Tsuda. I seldom drink alcohol, but many co-workers told me it tastes really good and recommended me, so I decided to try it.

 

(This picture is the new product, MIO)

After trying drinking it, I thought it was completely different from my image about it. It was really easy to drink like canned liqueur soda (缶チューハイ) and more mild than real Japanese alcohol. And also it's flavor was like a "peach". I have said it was mild before, but sugar wasn't used in it. It is good for health!! In my opinion about it, it was too sweet to eat dishes for dinner with MIO. I think you should drink before or after meal.

MY POINT of MIO　:　★★★☆☆

If you are interested in MIO, you should try it with your friends.
