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 Freeway up act MOJITO

When opening the can, a refreshing mint and lime fragrance fills the air. The color is a green tea-like green.

You can clearly see large green solid particles even when viewing the glass from the side.

Looking from the bottom makes it even more obvious.

There are solid particles, about the size of tea leaves, and it's a bit mysterious why they have clumped together so much... Let me take a sip.

Upon tasting, a strong mint flavor spreads, and I can enjoy a slightly bitter lime flavor, giving a nice bitter lime experience. I’m happy that it doesn’t taste sweet and really brings out the mojito characteristics.

The mint fragrance lingers even after drinking, and the aftertaste is much more satisfying than expected. There have been several mojito-flavored energy drinks before, but none had such a strong mint flavor and a well-defined bitter citrus taste as Freeway up act MOJITO. It seems to contain orange peel and lemon peel, which is surprising for a private-brand energy drink.
