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.

Fruit-filled Orange Flavor

When poured into a glass, the bright, vivid orange juice surprised me! It said "Classic," but this isn’t what I expected from "Classic." Is this the S.O.V.A. Classic? The orange fragrance is incredibly rich, so it seems like it’ll be a delightful drink.

Taking a sip, the sweet and tangy taste of fresh orange pulp bursts with freshness. Not only orange, but passion fruit, mango, and a hint of apple and pineapple can also be sensed, with the refreshing acidity and bitterness of orange peel lingering just right.

I thought it might contain a variety of fruit juices, but it turns out there’s no juice at all. For a fruit flavor this good without any juice, it’s almost unfair. A similar taste would be NOS Original (also juice-free), but this version enhances the fruitiness even more.

The complex citrus fruit mix and the pleasant, whole-squeezed zestiness elevate the fruit flavor’s perfection.

Since it's available in Russia and surrounding countries, if you get the chance to travel there, you should prioritize buying S.O.V.A. Classic over other top brands. It’s rare to find an energy drink at this level without any fruit juice.

S.O.V.A. CLASSIC Design

The can features a large owl, making for a striking design. It doesn’t look like a typical energy drink. While the vibe may not seem suitable for a popular energy drink, the quality inside surpasses that of major global brands, so once you try it, you might get hooked.

Personally, I really like the design—everything from the owl drawn like a picture book to the use of the slender S.O.V.A. font and the contrast with the background colors, all of it fits my style.
