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 FLYING POWER GUARANA

Upon opening the can, the familiar scent of a classic flavor with a hint of acidity fills the air. This aroma makes me wonder if it might be too similar to FLYING POWER ORIGINAL, but let's find out!
Flavor of FLYING POWER GUARANA
When I take a sip, it has a sweet and tart fruity flavor, characteristic of classic energy drink flavors. There are no off-flavors, and the balance between the moderate sweetness and strong tartness is perfect, leaving a satisfying aftertaste.

The flavor itself is very similar to the original from V Energy Drink, the top brand in Oceania.

Even when chilled, it's delicious, and if you add ice, the sweet and tart fruity taste becomes even more pronounced.
Flavor of FLYING POWER GUARANA
On a scorching summer day in Australia, you can enjoy the refreshing cold taste of V Energy's original flavor for just 70 yen with FLYING POWER GUARANA.

V Energy Drink is hugely popular, but it costs around 500-700 yen per can, so I’m sure many people would opt for FLYING POWER GUARANA instead.

The combination of silver and lime green. As can be inferred from the can's color and flavor, there is no doubt that this product is inspired by V ENERGY DRINK, the leading brand in Oceania.

It's unmistakably Australian, and you can understand why it's an exclusive flavor only sold in Australia.

If you're familiar with Australian energy drinks, the moment you see FLYING POWER GUARANA, you'll instantly think of V Energy Drink, thanks to its obvious color scheme. This design even seems to evoke a "V"-like feel (though I doubt that was the intent).
