Monster Energy (Japan)

Posted on June 24, 2013 | Last updated February 21, 2025

The sweetness and aroma are the richest in Japan, hands down. The flavor is so sweet that it feels syrupy and smooth, giving it a satisfying, mogu-mogu texture that makes it quite fulfilling to drink.
Out of all the energy drinks sold in Japan, MONSTER ENERGY is my personal favorite flavor. The large 355ml can also gives a nice, gulping sensation, which I really like (●´ω｀●)

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.

The Sweetness Soaks In, the Most Satisfying Deliciousness

The original flavor of MONSTER ENERGY is characterized by its unique aroma, the sweetness and richness it evokes, and the heaviness.
When you drink it, the sweetness and richness are confirmed even more than the aroma suggests, balanced with a tangy sharpness that completes the flavor.

The unique weight, richness, and strong aroma that fill your mouth with each sip create a satisfying, mogu-mogu texture, which is almost like chewing a drink. It feels like MONSTER ENERGY's original taste, aroma, and texture all come together to create a perfect drink.

It's great for sipping slowly during a relaxing time at home, or for chugging on a hot summer day after chilling it in the fridge. The flavor is versatile and fits any occasion. Personally, I enjoy drinking MONSTER ENERGY slowly while enjoying a laid-back moment (●´ω｀●).

MONSTER ENERGY, Too Beautiful...

This is the fridge after buying several cases of MONSTER ENERGY. The illuminated cans of MONSTER look too beautiful. But the 355ml cans are too heavy, and the shelf in the fridge starts bending, which is a bit scary...
Well, since I drink it every day, the load quickly eases ( ´∀｀)bｸﾞｯ!

Seeing the MONSTER ENERGY logo lined up and lit up by the fridge light, I can't help but be amazed at how beautiful it is...

One of My Go-To Energy Drinks

When I lived in the U.S., I used to alternate between the original MONSTER ENERGY and Rockstar's original every day. I didn't really buy in bulk until I came back to Japan. In the U.S., I would just grab one on the go, drinking it while heading to my destination.

I started drinking them at home after returning to Japan. On my way to dance practice, I would drink it during practice, so most of the time, I would drink it while out. Looking back, the 473ml can was the perfect size for drinking while out and about.
The 335ml cans in Japan are a bit too much for a quick drink, but compared to other energy drinks, the satisfaction level from this quantity is very high, so I think many people find them convenient.
