KONG STRONG WILD POWER KAMIKAZE

KONG STRONG WILD POWER KAMIKAZE
KONG STRONG Kamikaze, part of the private label energy drink series from German supermarket chain Lidl. Seeing this flavor name immediately reminded me of another private label energy drink, "Siti EnerG."

Siti EnerG was also a Lidl private label product, but around 2018, it was rebranded as KONG STRONG. The Mojito and Cuba Libre flavors, released simultaneously, have continued to be sold under the KONG STRONG series in Czechia and Slovakia, making them long-selling products. Kamikaze, in particular, has a bold and unique flavor, yet Lidl has kept it on shelves for over a decade—quite an interesting choice.

Now, let’s dive into the review.

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 KONG STRONG WILD POWER KAMIKAZE

Upon opening the can, a citrusy aroma mixed with a refreshing menthol scent fills the air. The deep blue color, matching the can design, makes quite an impact. Now, let's take a sip.

As soon as it touches the tongue, a sweet and tangy lime-like flavor spreads, accompanied by a strong menthol cooling sensation.

The three flavors released alongside KAMIKAZE are inspired by cocktails, but while the authenticity of the cocktail flavors varies, KAMIKAZE stands out the most in terms of capturing a cocktail-like feel, thanks to its menthol kick and fruity base.

The other two flavors lean more toward standard juice flavors, but KAMIKAZE has a unique, almost alcoholic drinking experience.

The KAMIKAZE flavor from Siti EnerG, before the rebranding to KONG STRONG, had aged over the years, leading to some deterioration in taste. I'm glad I got to try a fresh version this time.
