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 URBAN CLASSIC

The scent of a sweet, classic flavor. The sweet and rich aroma has a slight resemblance to Monster Energy's atmosphere.
KONG STRONG WILD POWER URBAN CLASSIC
Upon tasting, it delivers a smooth and creamy sweetness and aroma, along with the tangy notes typical of a classic flavor. The sweetness is not sugary, but instead has a creamy quality that stands out.

However, the rich, sweet scent lingers, which might make the taste feel a bit flat and stretched out, lacking a sharp finish.

Although it has some acidity reminiscent of Red Bull, it’s not just sweet. But this undecided flavor might make you question where it’s trying to go, and it doesn't quite hit the sweet and sharp balance that you might expect.

KONG STRONG is one of Lidl’s ultra-low-price energy drinks, but surprisingly, it has released quite a variety of flavors. If you’re not particular about major brands, it’s a solid option to regularly choose from, showing that this series is fairly diverse and reliable.
