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 C4 PERFORMANCE ENERGY Popsicle CHERRY

Upon opening, a sweet and tangy, rich cherry aroma fills the air. The liquid inside is clear and colorless, but it has a strong cherry scent, characteristic of cherry flavors.

When you take a sip, the cherry punch flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness and richness expands in your mouth, accompanied by the fizzy sensation. The tartness of the cherry is subtle, and it doesn’t linger too long, making it easy to drink smoothly.

As you get used to it, the cherry flavor lightens up, making it even easier to drink. It's quite refreshing.

There is no unpleasant taste of artificial sweeteners, and the natural cherry flavor is delightful. This is likely due to the absence of any overpowering sourness.

Although this is a collaboration with Popsicle, it stands out as a well-rounded cherry flavor on its own. It’s not easy to find a cherry flavor this well-balanced—especially one with zero sugar—delivering consistent sweetness, rich aroma, and just the right level of natural tartness.

The natural taste and aroma are important, and it performs well in any drinking condition: room temperature, chilled, or with ice. This consistency is definitely a high point.
