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.

Sweet Tropical Fruit Flavor

The bright, transparent yellow color is accompanied by the sweet aroma of pineapple juice.

Upon taking a sip, you’ll experience a tropical blend of sweet and tangy pineapple mixed with a peachy, syrupy texture. The fruity, smooth aftertaste lingers, offering a delicious tropical fruit mix flavor.

Although there is no actual fruit juice, the sweet taste and aroma are reminiscent of a gentle syrup from canned fruit.

Despite the lack of real fruit, the flavor is surprisingly not cheap. Instead, it brings a well-balanced mix of several fruit flavors, creating a satisfying, layered taste that prevents it from becoming monotonous.

The refreshing, sweet aroma remains strong, perfectly matching the smooth aftertaste. Personally, I find this a significant point in favor of this drink. It successfully replicates the essential parts of a pineapple-based flavor without the need for fruit juice.

It's easy to drink in large gulps but also enjoyable enough to savor. This is, by far, my favorite flavor in the Real Gold series (*´艸｀*).

Design of Real Gold Gold Recovery

The design evokes the image of fruit and golden bubbles from carbonated soda. The product name "Gold Recovery" is clearly displayed, along with the flavor name "Gold Fruit Flavor" in an easy-to-understand illustration. It’s clear before even purchasing, and fans of this type of flavor will likely pick it up.

The bottom of the can displays the list of ingredients in neat and easy-to-read text despite being packed tightly.

The back of the can provides a detailed description of the "Golden Fruit Flavor."

It states that the flavor is a mix of "Golden Pineapple, Golden Peach, and Golden Kiwi." I appreciate this detailed information because it gives me confidence to buy the product, and when I try it, I can confirm that it tastes just as described—delicious!

This Gold Recovery product comes in a large-sized plastic bottle at an affordable price, so I was worried it might have a cheap, mass-market flavor. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted. The regular price is 140 yen, but if you find it at a supermarket, you can often get it for around 80 yen, so definitely give it a try!
