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.

KONG STRONG FRUITY POWER APPLE Flavor Review

Upon opening, a sweet and tangy, fresh apple scent bursts out. However, there’s a slightly concerning dry, unfinished apple smell, which is common in European and American apple-flavored drinks.

KONG STRONG FRUITY POWER APPLE Flavor

When I take a sip, I get a strong tartness from the green apple, offering a refreshing taste. There isn’t much of a fruity sweetness or a rich flavor, but the apple scent is well reproduced, and the tartness matches, making it quite enjoyable.

However, there's still that faint dry, unfinished scent. I've encountered this smell a few times in green apple-flavored drinks from Europe and Oceania, but I still can’t quite get used to it.

Design of KONG STRONG FRUITY POWER APPLE

Unlike the previous KONG STRONG series, the FRUITY POWER series adopts light colors as the main shade for each flavor, paired with silver, giving it a brighter impression.

Design of KONG STRONG FRUITY POWER APPLE

The combination of polygonal colored sections and silver resembles the design of 28BLACK, also available in Germany. It seems a bit too similar, doesn't it?

The light, fresh look removes the typical dirty feel of energy drinks and appears more targeted at the general public, especially the lighter consumer. The green apple flavor is noticeable, and the design makes it easy to recognize and grab off the shelf.
