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 FRS PEACH MANGO
Upon opening, the rich aroma of mango fills the air. As you pour it into a glass, the scent intensifies, leading to high expectations for a rich mango flavor unlike anything experienced before. The color is an incredibly deep yellow, so opaque that nothing can be seen through it. Even while taking pictures, the mango fragrance is overwhelming.
Since it's a non-carbonated drink, the scent does not spread with fizzy bubbles. It's simply the strong scent of FRS itself (*´艸`*)
When poured into a glass, you'll notice an abundance of sediment. It almost seems as though fresh mangoes and peaches have been shaved directly into the drink.
However, upon tasting, it turns out to be quite refreshing, contrary to the strong fragrance. The flavor leans more towards the sweet and refreshing peach rather than mango, with no unpleasant aftertaste.
Given the powerful aroma and the significant sediment, I expected a richer taste, so the lighter flavor was a surprising contrast, which was hard to adjust to at first.
That said, the flavor is not weak or lacking. The strong aroma overpowers the taste slightly, making it initially seem a bit mild, which can cause some confusion (^_^;)
Looking at the pictures alone, you might expect a fruit milk drink, but the refreshing taste is a completely different experience, so it’s important to note that.
Energy Ingredients of FRS PEACH MANGO
The caffeine content is relatively low at 48mg. As for other energy blends, it includes 325mg of quercetin, a type of polyphenol, and 85mg of catechins, known for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
Since it’s a low-calorie product, it contains just 15kcal with 2g of sugar. Artificial sweeteners like sucralose are used, but the flavor is enhanced with mango puree and white grapes.
Being a nature-oriented health product, it doesn’t rely on the typical energy blends seen in regular energy drinks, which is interesting. The "gluten-free" and "non-GMO" labels also make it appealing to health-conscious individuals concerned about food safety.
The rich yellow color is achieved without any artificial colorants. It seems to target a more fitness-oriented, health-conscious, and somewhat premium demographic.
Design of FRS PEACH MANGO
The design is fresh and doesn’t have the harsh, typical energy drink aesthetic. It carries the image of blending natural health consciousness with modern technology.
The ingredient list and descriptions on the back are beautifully designed, though they are quite extensive. In Japanese, this might come off as a bit overwhelming (^_^;)
It suggests drinking up to three cans a day, which shows how FRS stands apart from other energy drinks. These texts, along with the color scheme, font, and icon placement, are harmoniously arranged, making the overall appearance quite pleasing.
Personally, I’m fond of health-conscious products like this, and I think it looks fantastic when everything is so beautifully integrated (●´ω`●)
