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.
BARK KNIGHT Taste
Upon opening, a fruity aroma with a tangy scent, similar to guava and peach, wafts out. The liquid inside is fluorescent pink. Let's give it a try.
When you sip it, a sweet and sour plum candy flavor spreads across your palate.
Upon drinking, a floral note emerges that wasn't initially noticeable upon opening, subtly blending with the plum flavor and passing through your nose.
As you can tell from the flavor profile, BARK KNIGHT is not an attempt to replicate the actual fruit of plum, but rather a candy-flavored version enhanced with plum's acidity and a touch of floral notes to intensify the umami.
That said, it doesn't swing too far into candy-like territory. The tartness characteristic of plums balances the overall flavor nicely, making it quite pleasant among non-juice plum-flavored options.
BARK KNIGHT Energy Ingredients
Contains 100mg of caffeine and 590mg of arginine.
BARK KNIGHT Design
The can features a glossy bronze color, with the white BARK logo, a sword, and the product name "Knight" combined in a design that gives a slightly confusing image. Below it, the brand name and product name appear.
From the front of the can, it’s unclear what flavor BARK KNIGHT is, but on the back, it is labeled as "Plum Flavor."
Below that, there is a familiar BARK energy poem, written in English for some reason.
There's also a sword embedded in a rock-like barcode.
