Actress Riho Yoshioka attended the "NON-neechan's Super Refreshing GINON Izakaya PR Announcement" event for Asahi Beer's sour drink "GINON," held in Tokyo on July 2nd. Yoshioka, who plays the role of "NON-neechan" in the "GINON" commercials, appeared in an apron as the one-day manager of "NON-neechan's Super Refreshing GINON Izakaya," which will be open for a limited time in Hibiya, Tokyo. She expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "I want to liven things up as the one-day manager."
In connection with the fact that "GINON" is sugar-free, when asked about "moments when she wants to be pampered," Yoshioka replied, "The thing I want to be lenient about is my figure." She continued, "If I gain weight, I'm told I'm 'fat,' and if I lose weight, I'm told I'm 'too thin,' so it's difficult to aim for the perfect balance. I wish people would be more lenient with that standard." Regarding managing her figure, she revealed, "I eat properly, but I also carefully calculate my exercise, and I feel like there's a trend where I won't be forgiven unless I lose this much weight by a certain point, so I think, 'Can't they be a little more lenient about that?' That's why I have to pamper myself. I eat what I like and drink what I like."
"GINON" is a sugar-free gin sour made with a special gin that is flavored by distilling it after infusing it with citrus peels. A limited-time pop-up shop, "NON-neechan's Super Refreshing GINON Izakaya," will open at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya Atrium (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) from July 2nd to 5th. For the event, former professional wrestler and TV personality Keiji Mutoh appeared as the first customer, fitting the product's "sugar-free" nature. He drank the sugar-free "GINON" and "transformed" into "Sugar-Free Keiji."
