Super Happy Asian Drink Hour - Gokuri King of Mango!


*Wise Guise and I assembled a panel of friends, all possessing varied amounts of experience with foreign drinks, and had them try seven wacky/tasty/exotic drinks from Japan! We cleansed our palates with Japanese salty snacks in-between drinks.*

Gokuri is a line of drinks produced by the Suntory Co., which has been in the alcoholic beverages industry since 1899. Some years later it branched off into other beverages.
They also produce CC Lemon, one of the most popular soft drinks in all of Japan.

Joe (limited experience): "This one's my favorite so far. That's the goods."

Wise_Guise (moderate experience): "I like the bottle, it's cool. (After tasting) Oh yeah, that's mango, baby."

Danithius (advanced experience): "15% juice, that's good. And it takes that real strong, cutting mango flavor and smooths it out. It's got more mango in it than sugar, too."

Adam (moderate experience): "It's thick. Yep, I could see drinking this."

Crystal (limited experience): "That is good! Tastes like one of those candies...a Haichu...but liquid."

Consensus: Damn, it is the King of Mango!
