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 HYPER ZONe ZERO

Upon opening, the usual intense chemical scent bursts out. Even with zero sugar, the strength of this aroma remains unchanged.
Flavor of HYPER ZONe ZERO
When I take a sip, the sweet and sour, classic flavor spreads along with a strong chemical-like taste, reminiscent of the original ZONe.

The texture feels like a very intense, classic chemical flavor, but since it's zero-sugar, it doesn't stick too heavily to the mouth and goes down easily.

The aftertaste has a noticeable artificial sweetener aftertaste, giving it the typical sugar-free flavor. It doesn't reproduce the full-sugar flavor of the original, which has a more robust taste.

Energy Ingredients of HYPER ZONe ZERO

It contains 150mg of caffeine and 800mg of arginine. Although the exact amount of ginseng is unknown (probably very small), taurine is included, just like in the full-sugar version.

Design of HYPER ZONe ZERO

The design features a clear silver and bright blue combination, making it easy to recognize as sugar-free. While the product is called HYPER ZONe ZERO, neither the front nor the back of the can displays the word "HYPER."

The bottle cap has "HYPER ZONe" printed around it, but depending on the orientation, the "HYPER" might not appear on the front, which makes the "HYPER ZONe" brand name seem somewhat diminished.

The design of the full-sugar version has also been updated to match HYPER ZONe ZERO. Here too, "HYPER" is only mentioned on the cap.

When lined up like this, the sugar-free HYPER ZONe ZERO looks brighter, with the reduction of black and removal of purple allowing the blue to stand out, giving it a light and fresh impression that clearly conveys the sugar-free nature.
