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 ASAP CLUB Fun-na GRAPE

When you open the can, a rich grape flesh aroma bursts out. The color is a calm grape skin shade. Let's give it a try.

When you take a sip, a moderately sour grape flavor spreads across your palate. The sweetness is not overwhelming, and you can enjoy the light and fresh taste of grape flesh. The aftertaste carries a hint of bitterness, similar to grape skin, which combines nicely with the sourness, allowing you to experience both the easy drinkability and the savory essence of the fruit.

Although there’s some aftertaste lingering, the sweetness and richness are quite subtle, so despite the strong flavor and aroma, the fruity essence doesn’t linger much after drinking.

Although the flavor itself is a lighter grape flavor, it contains a generous 28.3g of sugar. It would be nice if this flavor could be recreated with little to no sugar.

The previous ASAP CLUB BalanceD had a very strong taste, so I was honestly a bit nervous about trying Fun-na GRAPE... But this time, it’s just a normal grape flavor, so I was relieved. (；´∀｀)

ASAP CLUB and "Oshi no Ko" collaborated on all flavors, including Fun-na GRAPE, so it might be fun to try them all and compare the tastes.

Energy Ingredients of ASAP CLUB Fun-na GRAPE

It contains 52mg of caffeine, 550mg of arginine, mucuna, and BCAAs. The drink also includes 1% fruit juice, with grape juice as one of the ingredients.

Mucuna contains L-DOPA, which helps produce dopamine. While you may not feel an immediate effect from just one can, it’s a signature ingredient for ASAP CLUB.

Design of ASAP CLUB Fun-na GRAPE

ASAP CLUB Fun-na GRAPE was released as a collaboration with "Oshi no Ko." It’s nice that the characters are inside the logo, rather than covering the entire can.

The collaboration design may seem subtle, but in stores, with large displays, it made quite an impact.

The side of the can features a thought-provoking energy poem. The phrase “There’s no grape flavor like this” is not exaggerated; the light grape flavor is indeed enjoyable.

The ASAP CLUB × "Oshi no Ko" collaboration also released two other flavors with collaboration cans, and all three—"Ai," "Ruby," and "Aqua"—were displayed together in stores.

Previously, ASAP CLUB had exposure as a sponsor for Breaking Down, but with Fun-na GRAPE, it seems they’ve started targeting the manga and anime fanbase, like ZONe. The otaku genre has fantastic synergy with social media, so this could significantly boost the recognition of the ASAP CLUB series.
