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.

V ENERGY SUGARFREE BLUE (Initial Release) Flavor

Upon opening, a refreshing scent of orange, pineapple, peach, and passion fruit, reminiscent of tropical fruits, wafts out. The fragrance is the same as the full-sugar version.
V ENERGY SUGARFREE BLUE (Initial Release) Flavor
When you take a sip, a clear, light, sweet and tangy tropical fruit flavor fills your mouth.

The sweetness of the fruit is well-balanced with a crisp acidity that leaves no aftertaste or residue behind.

The tropical aroma dissipates nicely, leaving no lingering aftertaste. There’s no unpleasant artificial sweetener taste, and if you're seeking a refreshing taste that’s less sweet than the full-sugar version, this is perfect. The flavor is so well-recreated that you wouldn’t even need to buy the full-sugar version.

This product marked the beginning of the zero-sugar series and clearly had a positive reception after its release, which likely led to its continued success.

The light blue matte texture. Compared to the full-sugar version’s deep blue, this color makes it easy to distinguish the sugar-free version.

The difference between the full-sugar and sugar-free versions isn’t just the color; it’s the matte finish. Previously, V Energy’s sugar-free products were generally released with a matte texture. This poppy pastel color became the foundation for the later launched sugar-free series, the "V REFRESH Series."
