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.

Sweet Muscat-like Syrup Flavor

When poured into a glass, I was surprised by the fluorescent lime green color that I hadn’t expected. It’s also non-carbonated.

The aroma gave a classic sweet and sour impression, but when I took a sip, it was an artificial, fruity syrup-like flavor. Since it’s non-carbonated, it feels even richer. Drinking 250ml of this can be quite a lot.

After swallowing, the sweet and sour syrupy taste lingers in your mouth, gradually changing to a sweet and refreshing muscat-like flavor. If the muscat flavor appeared sooner, it might just be enjoyable as a fruit-flavored energy drink.

Southeast Asian energy drinks are often non-carbonated and have a thick sweetness, and this original DRIVE M7 is similar in intensity to the STING Energy Drink series. It might feel a bit too strong for Japanese people, making it harder to drink. Even for Drin-Kun, who has tried various global energy drinks, these thick syrupy drinks are still tough to handle (^_^;)

Back during the first energy drink boom, the mini-sized cans of DRIVE M7 were sold in Japan at places like Matsumoto Kiyoshi and car shops, and the design hasn’t changed much since then.

Although it seems that it’s no longer available in Japan, you can still find a variety of DRIVE M7 products in Southeast Asia, especially in places like Malaysia. If you’re traveling, definitely try to grab one!
