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 GHOST ENERGY SOUR PATCH KIDS REDBERRY

Upon opening, the scent of berry with lots of sugar fills the air. Since this is a collaboration with SOUR PATCH, there’s no fruitiness—just a candy-like artificial aroma.

When I take a sip, I find that it’s not as sour as expected, with an artificial berry candy flavor. There’s no fruity richness, and the aftertaste and aroma have an artificial flavor lingering.

There’s no chemical taste, but since there’s no fruitiness and I can slightly taste the artificial sweetener’s unpleasantness, this might be perfect for those who enjoy the taste of unhealthy, artificial products.

The lack of strong acidity might feel a bit unsatisfying. As I continue drinking, the flavor shifts from sourness to the artificial sweetener becoming the main flavor, which is a bit disappointing.
