This icon sticks out your tongue from your big mouth. If you've devoted your youth to rock in the 60's and 70's, you'll know at a glance that it's "Lips & Tongue" from the world-famous rock band The Rolling Stones. This icon was used in the bottle design of Suntory's "Energy Taste" alcoholic beverage, " Stones Bar [Rolling Gold] ," which was just released in June.

The Rolling Stones is a British four-piece band that has been a hit since it was formed in 1962 and continues to lead the rock world (with a change of members on the way). This year marks the 50th anniversary of its formation. There are countless representative songs, but "Paint It Black" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" are quite famous in Japan.

Their icon is "Lips & Tongue". If you're a fan of The Rolling Stones, you'll be surprised to see this bottle design. Behind the icon, you can hear the screaming vocal Mick, a high-impact visual with flames drawn.

Looking at the design of the bottle again, the flashy "Lips & Tongue" is printed on the front. I'm a little scared that I'm definitely somewhere like this, but the presence at the convenience store's liquor corner is overwhelming and I want to pick it up.

If you look closely, "Lips & Tongue" is printed not only on the front of the bottle but also on the cap.

A little sexy with a design that opens the zipper.

Expectations that increase from this appearance. What does it taste like? Taste it right away. After all, I want to liven up my mood while listening to "Rocks Off" of THE ROLLING STONES, which is also used in commercials.

Pull the pull tab on the cap ... Push!

Let's pour it. Topotopotopo ... Shuwashuwa ~. Oh! Carbonic acid is popping vigorously. It seems that the band's strong and aggressive feeling and powerful feeling are overflowing.

I poured it.
I poured it.


The color is bright yellow.

Drank. Carbonic acid is quite strong and there is a refreshing feeling. I strongly felt the taste of energy drinks rather than alcohol. The scent also has a unique and sweet scent like an energy drink. Is the balance between the flavor and sweetness of the gin used about 3 to 7 (subjective)? If you add ice and cool it in a kinkin, the sweetness will be just right, and it will be delicious even on a hot summer day or after taking a bath.

Even so, at the first bite, I thought that it was not like alcohol, but the alcohol content was 5%. When I was alert and drank it, my stomach became hot and I became tipsy. However, the carbonic acid that pops is addictive.

Currently, the average age of the members of THE ROLLING STONES is approaching 70 years old, but I also drank this and felt that I wanted to work as young and energetic as they did.

The raw materials are spirits / gin / royal jelly extract / maca extract / sugar / acidulant / fragrance / safflower pigment / arginine / carbon dioxide. In addition, by setting the carbon dioxide gas pressure higher, it is said that it has a stimulating taste that you will not get tired of drinking.

Be careful of spills!
