Energy Hunter Jelly
The jelly drink from AEON's Topvalu Energy Drink series, Energy Hunter.

It's impressive how they've released a jelly drink right after the energy drink, a strategy not seen from domestic manufacturers until now. With a large 270g capacity that provides a high level of satisfaction and plenty of energy ingredients, I'll be reviewing the taste and ingredients of the Energy Hunter Jelly in detail.

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.

Refreshing Muscat & Chemical-like Flavor

The liquid inside is a bright gold. The scent is not particularly strong, with a vitamin drink-like, old-fashioned Japanese energy drink chemical fragrance lingering in the air.

When you take a sip, the smooth jelly texture and refreshing muscat flavor fill your mouth, with a subtle chemical-like taste remaining. The refreshing sensation of the cold jelly and the smoothness as it slides down the throat provide a unique experience not typically found in energy drinks.

What stands out is the lingering chemical aftertaste unique to Energy Hunter. The medicinal-like flavor seems to emphasize the "energy drink" feel. For those seeking an energy boost, this slightly chemical taste might actually be preferred.

With a large 270g size, this jelly drink offers far more satisfaction than a typical drink, making it perfect for a snack or an energy charge when you're feeling a bit hungry. The price is also great at 128 yen, in line with Topvalu's private brand pricing.

Energy Ingredients of Energy Hunter Jelly

Energy Hunter Jelly
It contains 175mg of caffeine, 540mg of arginine, and 1080mg of citric acid. The caffeine content is quite high for the 270g serving size.

Thanks to the jelly's refreshing texture, it's easy to drink quickly, so be careful with your total caffeine intake for the day.

Despite the refreshing taste, it contains over 40g of carbohydrates, so you might inadvertently consume too many sugars. With its abundant energy ingredients, it seems like a great option for a pre-workout energy boost.

Design of Energy Hunter Jelly

Energy Hunter Jelly
The design is the same as the Energy Hunter energy drink, with energy ingredients and their amounts clearly displayed on the front. However, it may be a bit unclear that the amounts listed are per 100g. It might make more impact to list the amounts per pack.

Since both the energy drink and the energy jelly share the same design, it's easy to spot them in stores, which is a plus. If anything, it could benefit from a little more "playfulness" in the design to feel more like an energy drink product.
