TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING, a collaboration with the anime "TIGER & BUNNY 2!"

Review

TIGER & BUNNY" has become a hot topic since it solicited sponsors from real companies and featured heroes with their logos on their characters. This year, more than 10 years after the TV series aired, the second season "TIGER & BUNNY 2" was released on Netflix, which is still fresh in our memories. The other day, it was announced that the TV series will start airing on NHK General TV in April 2023, and it is very interesting to note that a version without the sponsors' logos will be aired. The story will begin again... "TIGER & BUNNY 2", which has never been short of topics, has collaborated with "KURAND", an online sake store well known for its sake gacha, to sell " TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING" sparkling sake. SPARKLING " will be on sale!

The online sake store "K URAND" has sent us a bottle of "TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING "! Thank you very much!

I would like to review it!


Review of "TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING

TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING" box and champagne stopper

The "TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING" is packaged in a luxurious box. The design is simple and monochrome, but the words " TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING " are silver-colored, and the starry sky that continues to expand makes us feel like we are in the midst of a starry night sky. Can we be proud of the present? The stars are colored as if to say, "Can we be proud of the ever-expanding starry sky?

A "champagne stopper" is included as a purchase bonus, so even if you don't finish the bottle, you can save it.


TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING" warning

When I took the bottle out of the box, I found a note hanging on the bottle. Since it is sparkling, shaking is strictly prohibited. Open the bottle carefully according to the warning. If it spills, it would be a waste of sake!

Side by side, you can see the same design on the box and bottle labels. The bottle label is more colorful with a gradient.

The bottle has a stopper like you often see on beer bottles. (We didn't have a bottle opener in the office, so I managed to open it with a flat-blade screwdriver.)


Pour the "TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING" into a wine glass.

Since it is a sparkling wine, I poured it into a wine glass. The color is not transparent, but more like white wine or apple juice. It is hard to tell from the picture, but it was lightly cloudy and had a little lees.

To prevent the carbonation from escaping, the lid is once put on the bottle. The champagne stopper is designed with a hero symbol. It is useful for other bottles of sparkling liquor even after this product has been consumed.

Turn to close. A small circle is drawn on the gold part and the black part, and when they overlap, the bottle is closed. It is helpful to have not only a design but also an easy-to-understand marker.

Cheers to "TIGER & BARNABY SPARKLING"!

"Cheers! "


The taste is relatively sweet, with a light, soft mouthfeel. With an alcohol content of 7%, it is about half that of a typical sake, which is 14-16%. Even sake beginners and those who don't like sake can enjoy it.


Quantities are limited, so don't delay!
