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.

Distinct Tanginess and Astringency, Fresh Cranberry Squeeze Flavor

When you take a sip, the tanginess and astringency of cranberry, as well as the fresh flavor of its fruit flesh, spread in your mouth, like it was squeezed fresh, skin and all.

Since it has high fruit content, there are also quite a few solids. When viewed from the bottom, you can see how much has settled.

If you were expecting a typical sweet and sour cranberry flavor, this is quite different. Whether the tanginess and astringency of the cranberries have been affected by degradation is unclear, but it’s not just a sweet cranberry flavor—it truly expresses the "natural energy" essence. It seems they might have aimed to recreate the savory taste of the fruit rather than just using sugar.

Design of rhino’s natural energy & fruit 27% Cranberry

The can features a combination of purple and mirror silver. Since this is a campaign product, it displays information about the DVD campaign, but of course, there are also regular design cans.

Such campaign cans were released, and I personally thought this could become one of the main products. However, the flavor was perhaps too natural, and the sales period was short, so it was discontinued before I realized.

Rhino’s products rarely get discontinued, with many continuing as staple items for five or ten years. Unfortunately, the cranberry version has been discontinued. It’s a shame.

At the bottom of the can, you can find the unique domain for Rhino’s Cranberry, not the usual Rhino’s URL.

Why does the cranberry variant have its own domain? If it’s part of the "natural energy" series, they should have used a domain like "rhinosnatural" rather than "rhinoscranberry."
