'Gari-gari-kun Ume' tasting review with a fruity sweet and sour taste

'Gari-Gari-kun Ume ' has appeared in Akagi Nyugyo's Gari-Gari-kun series from June 1, 2021. In the 'Gari-gari-kun's taste you want to eat' questionnaire conducted as the 40th anniversary of Gari-gari-kun, the new taste that became the top with a difference of nearly twice as much as the second place is like dried plums using plum juice and plum vinegar. It is with Gari-gari who finished it. I was wondering what it tasted like, so I actually bought it and tried it.

I bought 'Gari-Gari-kun Ume' at once. There were three types of packages: one in which the mascot character Gari-gari was trying to chew plums, one in which he was chewing, and one in which he was pieced with both hands.

In the raw material column, in addition to 'ume juice' and 'apple juice', 'umezu' was also listed.

The calorie is 63 kcal per bottle.

When I took it out of the bag, it had a sweet and sour scent peculiar to plums.

The actual size of the ice cream is less than 9 cm.

When you try it, the taste of sweet and sour plums spreads in your mouth along with the texture of Gari-gari-kun's shaved ice.

The official website says 'flavor like umeboshi', but the acidity is mild and not salty, so the taste is closer to 'ume fruit' than umeboshi. The refreshing sweet and sour taste and aroma of berries give it a refreshing flavor, so you can enjoy it as if you were drinking plum juice.

'Gari-Gari-kun Ume' has been available for purchase at retail stores nationwide since June 1, 2021, and the price is 70 yen excluding tax.
