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 Volcano

When I opened the can, a strong orange scent burst out. As I poured it into a glass, the sharp ginger刺激(刺激 could be translated as “tingle” or “spiciness” depending on context) hit my nose... It’s definitely a ginger orange flavor. Let’s taste it.

Upon tasting, there’s a refreshing sweetness and a mild tartness from the orange flavor, with the spiciness of ginger lingering in the mouth, making it a true ginger orange flavor.

The aftertaste leaves a lingering ginger kick. For those who enjoy spicy ginger, the sharpness here will definitely satisfy. As for me, being sensitive to taste and aroma, especially spicy flavors, even this mild ginger spiciness is a bit too much for me Σ(´∀｀；)

There’s a touch of artificial flavor, and it doesn’t taste like fresh orange. It’s more like the taste of artificial orange candy, though it’s not overwhelmingly chemical.

The can mentions “sweetness with an amaretto-like flavor,” but honestly, I’m not sure about that. It’s easier to imagine the flavor as a “spicy ginger orange,” which better captures the taste’s characteristics.

The product name "Volcano" refers to the spiciness of ginger and the warmth it brings to the body. For fans of spicy ginger ale, this flavor will likely hit the spot.

Design of ASAP CLUB Volcano

This is one of the three co-branded cans with "Nijisanji" for the new flavor, "Volcano Sweet Magma Flavor."

The design features the character prominently, almost making the ASAP logo secondary. The appearance is so striking that you might think of it more as a "Nijisanji Energy Drink" than an ASAP CLUB product.

Here are the three flavors of the "Nijisanji" collaboration that were released.

The existing flavors include ASAP CLUB Energy Drink AWAKEN and ASAP CLUB Energy Drink Fun-na GRAPE, along with the newly released ASAP CLUB Energy Drink Volcano. The “Nijisanji” design is so impactful that you might not even recognize it as an ASAP product at first glance.

Given that this is on the higher end of the price spectrum for energy drinks and based on the previous collaboration trends, I feel like we’ll likely see more collaborations with content that has a passionate fanbase in the future.
