2020 release, and revamped in July 2024, here is my review of Alani Nu HAWAIIAN SHAVED ICE.

This product is inspired by the famous shaved ice from Hawaii. When you think of Hawaiian shaved ice, what kind of flavor comes to mind? After trying it, I was surprised by an unexpected taste that differs from the usual Hawaiian image!

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 Alani Nu HAWAIIAN SHAVED ICE

Upon opening the can, a sweet strawberry milk-like aroma bursts out. I was expecting a more tropical scent, so this was quite a surprise. The liquid is a pale, bright pink. Let's take a sip.

When I take a sip, a rich, dense, and fruity strawberry milk flavor fills my mouth, with a smooth, syrupy texture that mixes sweet strawberry, coconut, and condensed milk.

The sweetness of strawberry milk, which perfectly matches the term "condensed milk," surprised me. It truly feels like it has sugar, despite being zero-sugar.

The balance of sweet milk, strawberry flavor, smooth texture, and just the right amount of sweetness is exceptional. It has a satisfying and fulfilling drinkability that could easily be mistaken for a full-sugar product.

The aftertaste leaves a sweet, strawberry candy-like flavor on the tongue, so not only the milky richness but also the fruity deliciousness is truly enjoyable.

I'm genuinely impressed by the zero-sugar offerings from new energy drink brands. Even though it’s a revamped version, the reason this product continues to be a long-seller in the Alani Nu series is clear. I highly recommend trying it. It will change your perception of zero-sugar drinks.

Energy Ingredients of Alani Nu HAWAIIAN SHAVED ICE
Contains 200mg of caffeine, taurine, theanine, ginseng, carnitine, glucuronolactone, and guarana.

It has a milky flavor, but no milk or similar ingredients are used. The coconut scent I noticed is actually part of the ingredients, which sets this product apart from other Alani Nu offerings. The rich flavor is likely due to the subtle coconut.

Alani Nu HAWAIIAN SHAVED ICE is not the kind of shaved ice flavor you'd enjoy under the harsh midday sun on a beach. Instead, it’s a flavor you'd want to savor as the sun sets and the temperature cools.
