Garigari renewed for the first time in 20 years, I tried to eat and compare what changed before the renewal



With the aim of Akagi Dairy's Garigari-kun series to `` communicate more about the commitment of materials and manufacturing methods '' for the first time in about 20 years, packages of major products such as `` Garigari-kun soda '', `` Garigari-kun cola '', `` Garigari-kun grapefruit '' and ice renewal The we. I got 'Garigari-kun soda' which was renewed earlier, so I tried comparing it with Garigari-kun before the renewal.

'Garigari-kun Soda' has been renewed for the first time in about 20 years! |Akagi Dairy Co., Ltd.

There are three types of packages for the renewed 'Garigari Kimi Soda'. Familiar characters, refreshing colors, and illustrations that feel cold are the same as before.



Comparing the renewed package (left image below) with the conventional package (right image), you can see that the renewed package has an additional indication of `` discerning ice grains ''. Also, the ice in the character Garigari's mouth is finer than the conventional package.



When I checked the raw materials, there was no change before and after the renewal. The content is exactly the same at 105 ml.



In terms of nutritional information, after the renewal (left image), the carbohydrate content is 16.8 grams and the salt equivalent is 0.042 grams, whereas before the renewal (image right), the carbohydrate content is 16.9 grams and the salt equivalent is 0.04 g. A slight difference was seen.



In addition, on the back of the package after the renewal, Garigari-kun's manufacturing method and commitment are written as 'The secret of Garigari-kun's deliciousness!' Akagi Nyugyo, which manufactures and sells Garigari-kun, conducted a consumer survey in June 2022. As a result, while positive impressions were received in terms of deliciousness and name recognition, Garigari-kun's commitment to ingredients and manufacturing methods was understood. There were few opinions that it was. Therefore, it seems that the ice cream and package have been renewed so that Garigari's commitment can be conveyed more.



When you take it out of the bag, a familiar refreshing light blue ice cream appears. I tried arranging the post-renewal and pre-renewal versions side by side, but I can't tell the difference from the conventional appearance.



The actual size of the ice cream is about 9 cm.



When I cut it with a knife and compared the cross sections side by side, I can see that the ice after the renewal (left image) is rougher than before the renewal (right image).



``In the renewal, the shaved ice was shaved roughly, the proportion of large ice was increased, and the aftertaste was more refreshing than before.'' While eating rough ice cream, Garigari-kun after renewal got the impression that the texture of the shaved ice inside was relatively fluffy. Also, regarding the ice grains, while the original Garigari-kun felt like a mixture of large ice grains, the Garigari-kun after the renewal seems to have a lot of slightly larger ice grains. I felt that it was a refreshing aftertaste with a refreshing and refreshing feeling of fine ice.



The renewed Garigari-kun Soda, Garigari-kun Cola, and Garigari-kun Grapefruit are all scheduled to be released in mid-March 2023 with a suggested retail price of 76 yen including tax.
