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 BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC

The scent is classic and straightforward, and the color is the typical energy drink color. I didn't notice any chemical or perfume-like smells.

The taste is also a perfect example of the classic sweet and sour energy drink flavor. The sweetness and acidity are well-balanced, smooth, and not overpowering, making it easy to drink without leaving a strong aftertaste. The lingering sweetness in the aftertaste is characteristic of this type of flavor.

There are no chemical, perfume-like, or bitter notes, making it a balanced and easy-to-drink flavor that everyone can enjoy. It may lack strong distinctiveness, but the absence of strange flavors or smells makes it a crowd-pleasing drink. If you're in Hungary and looking for a good classic energy drink flavor, BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC is a safe choice.

At about 70 yen per can, it's also affordable.

Energy Ingredients of BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC

BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC
Contains 37.5mg of caffeine. It also includes basic energy drink ingredients like vitamins and inositol. The overall content is quite light for an energy drink.

One might question whether this can still be considered an energy drink, but since it costs only around 70 yen and isn't unnecessarily priced like some products in Japan (at 200 yen), not many will complain about the ingredients.

Design of BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC

BOMBA!'s "B!" and the exclamation mark—it's surprising they decided to release it with this design. The design may vary slightly depending on the country and time period, but the base design of BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC features a simple combination of yellow and navy.

When the series is lined up together, it somehow starts to look quite fitting—it's the magic of energy drinks.

Even though the flavor is not distinctive and the design isn't striking, as more flavors are added to the series, it gradually starts to come together. Of course, consistent branding is also needed, but personally, I've been drinking BOMBA! since 2014, so the simple design now looks cool to me.

BOMBA! ENERGY CLASSIC
Originally, BOMBA! became famous for its grenade-style glass bottle. It's nice that the container itself offers an experience typical of energy drinks. Currently, BOMBA! is available in various forms, including cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles.

The classic flavor I reviewed is even available in a 1.5L plastic bottle. With BOMBA! CLASSIC's stable and widely liked flavor, it's easy to see why large bottles are available for parties or as bulk options.
