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 NOS MANGO

NOS MANGO
A rich, glowing, transparent, and thick orange. The artificially colored, unnatural mango hue is beautiful!

Upon tasting, a rich, sweet, and sour mango flavor spreads across the palate, and the sweet aroma lingers. It doesn't have a juicy taste with fruit juice, but instead, it’s a sugary, artificially sweetened mango flavor.

This mango flavor is so focused on sweetness that it might get a bit overwhelming for some, and I think people who want to enjoy changes in flavor while drinking might get bored with it.

That being said, as a thick, rich mango flavor without any fruit juice, this is probably one of the best out there.

Energy Ingredients in NOS MANGO

NOS MANGO
It contains 170mg of caffeine, 200mg of taurine, 1.4mg of guarana, and 25mg of theanine. The taurine is a bit on the low side, and theanine is something I haven't seen in many recent North American energy drinks.

Design of NOS MANGO

NOS MANGO
The product name and flavor name are only written small like this. I think they could have paid more attention to the design.

NOS MANGO
This line design, which is unique to NOS from the Coca-Cola era, stands out from the American NOS. Whether it’s cool or not is a different story though (^_^;)

NOS MANGO
NOS from Coca-Cola's Canada had a more refined design on the nutritional label at the top of the can compared to the American NOS, and I think it looks much cooler. Personally, I really like this. The all-orange can has a nice balance and sharpness that really brings out the energy drink vibe (*´艸｀*)
