Ginger ale. Nostalgic sound.

It's a great drink, but I've been away for a long time, feeling like it's a kid or a cat. There was a song that said, "I bought ginger ale and drank it. It tasted like this." Yes, a drink in my memory.


Do cats drink? Was it the cat that appeared in Heinlein's "The Door into Summer"? The name is ... When I was talking about that in the roar of a live house, someone shouted in my ear, "If you talk about ginger ale, drink Wilkinson! First from there."

Just at the counter, I ordered ginger ale. Not on the menu. The bartender silently puts a dark green glass bottle. He doesn't say anything and just says with his eyes, "I know you."

The stopper was open. Drink directly from the bottle. How many years have I been drinking this way? The stimulus of carbonic acid entwined with my tongue and moderate sweetness. And the taste of ginger emerges from the sweetness. This is ginger ale. It reminds me of the meaning of the name.

I'm sure he was Wilkinson. I asked the bartender, "Oh, where ..." Even if I tried to tell you such a thing, I was unfriendlyly told "RTFM!" And it was over. I have no choice but to look it up myself.

The official website was found immediately. "Ginger ale is Wilkinson," and many customers have supported it. Only Wilkinson can produce that taste, "said a professional voice. This nods. I bought it immediately.


This is this taste. I usually avoid sweets, but I drank one immediately because of the spiciness and strong carbonic acid. After all, it's a glass bottle and a crown. I'll soon get sick. The other is "dry". If you expect a harder taste, it's soft and fruity. Why. Well good. Let's leave the plastic bottle guy.

As I zapping the official website, I found a video. "Is it" 100 years, Tansan "? Isn't it carbonic acid?" I'm squid in the dark. I was interested in it, like the bubbles that spring up when I open the bottle of carbonic acid.


When I opened the page "WILK INSON'S STORIES", I found out Wilkinson's history. You can also see why dry is sweeter. History dates back to 1889, when the Englishman John Clifford Wilkinson accidentally discovered a carbonated spring in the mountains of Takarazuka. It's not embarrassing to say "Since" for something like this. No, it's a proud story. And ... let's leave the history to the official website. I'm not good at studying. Anyway, it has a history.


As for Tansan, a professional voice said, "Tansan is equal to Wilkinson. There is no room for others to come in." I bought this one as soon as possible.


You can see the strength of carbonic acid before drinking. Just loosening the cap of the PET bottle a little, the contents were about to spurt out. Hmm, it was dangerous. And a bite. It is understandable that professionals praise it. Please refrain from children. Not knowing this was a detour for me too.

Even if you know Wilkinson, don't be afraid to pretend to be hard-boiled and argue with your savings. I don't know about it in the pre-Internet era, and even if I'm good at talking about things like this, it's a punch line that says "I've already read it on the official website." Instead, master the recipe on the official website and silently serve a glass. Will tell you everything. Good luck.
