With more summer days exceeding 30℃, it seems summer is truly upon us.
At times like these, you crave a cooling refreshment drink that chills you to the bone!
Speaking of cooling refreshment drinks, the "FRISK Sparkling" released by DyDo DRINCO in 2024, from the well-known "FRISK" brand, became quite a sensation.
Now, the second installment, a milder and easier-to-drink version of the first, has been released!
This time, we'll be reviewing the cooling refreshment drink, "FRISK Sparkling Grape"!
The Second Installment of FRISK Sparkling is Here!
Now, let's review the cooling refreshment drink, "FRISK Sparkling Grape"!
It comes in a small 250ml can.
The packaging mentions strong carbonation, lasting coolness, reduces stress and fatigue, and the effect of GABA. Behind this text, there are illustrations of ice and grapes, offering a visually refreshing experience.
I've Heard of GABA, But What Exactly Is It?
GABA stands for Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid, and it has been reported to have the function of reducing temporary mental stress and fatigue from work or study.
By reducing stress, it is expected to have effects such as reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality, and it is widely included in supplements and functional foods.
As the saying goes, "A balanced diet is based on staples, main dishes, and side dishes." Of course, GABA alone cannot make you healthy, so strive for a balanced diet.

How Does It Taste?
The taste of the previous "FRISK Sparkling" was quite a topic online, wasn't it?
What about this "FRISK Sparkling Grape"?
When I pop open the can, a sweet grape scent fills the air.
It reminds me of the bubble gum I used to buy as a kid.
This makes me excited for the taste.
Pouring...
The color is a vibrant shade between red and orange!
Compared to the previous version, the vibrant, beautiful color stands out.
After enjoying its appearance, I'll take a sip!
The taste is a very peculiar one, arriving in the order of bitterness, sweetness, and then refreshment.
At the beginning, I felt a minty bitterness, but then sweetness quickly followed, making it milder and easier to drink than the previous version.
After finishing the drink, a cooling sensation lingers in my throat, and my whole body feels refreshed.
If you drink it after a bath, in addition to cooling your body, the effects of GABA might help you get a comfortable night's sleep!
Perfect Refreshment Drink for the Coming Hot Season!
At first, the taste surprised me, but after finishing it, my whole body felt cool from the inside out!
I thought to myself, "I want to go out with a 'FRISK Sparkling Grape' in hand during the upcoming hot season."
