In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of Crisp Citrus Tropical Fruit

Upon opening, a refreshing citrus tropical fruit aroma fills the air. It's hard to imagine this is sugar-free based on the scent. I'm excited to try it! ((o(´∀｀)o))

Taking a sip, the passion fruit's mild tartness combines with the subtle guava and orange for a refreshing taste. The sweetness is restrained, and after getting used to it, the sourness becomes gentle, creating a fresh tropical mix flavor.

Though there's a slight aftertaste that clings to the throat, the flavor and aroma don't linger, leaving a clean impression.

For this refreshing fruit flavor, I think it's better to gulp it down rather than savoring it slowly, as drinking it quickly lets you enjoy the crisp citrus fruit flavor even more.

Design of 28 BLACK ABSOLUTE ZERO GUAVA-PASSION FRUIT

I didn't expect a mix of guava and passion fruit flavors to come from this blue can. It's not the typical fruit-flavored can color.

The design is split between blue and silver, giving more of an impression of being sugar-free rather than emphasizing the fruit flavor. I didn't associate it with a fruity taste until I looked closely.

Perhaps it would have been easier to convey the image by using a color inspired by guava or passion fruit, combined with silver, instead of just blue.
