Flavor of ZONe KILLER COFFEE Awakening Sweet LATTE
Released on December 6, 2022, the coffee series "Killer Coffee" from the energy drink brand ZONe comes in two flavors. The one I’m reviewing today is the sweet "Awakening Sweet Latte."

With 127mg of caffeine per 245ml, this coffee drink offers a balance of sweetness and richness, making it a very Japanese-style coffee beverage. The Killer Coffee series does not contain energy ingredients, and there is no energy drink label on the product, so it is neither an energy drink nor an energy coffee. However, I decided to review it in detail as one of the ZONe brand offerings.

It’s available for purchase on Amazon, in vending machines within certain service areas, and at select university co-ops. On Amazon, a special package is available with a coupon offering up to 30% off for your next purchase, so I highly recommend checking it out.

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 ZONe KILLER COFFEE Awakening Sweet LATTE

Upon opening the can, a sweet café latte aroma fills the air. Just the fact that it's a coffee beverage released in Japan gives a sense of reassurance (^_^;) Since many American energy coffees tend to be overly sweet and creamy, they can be a bit much...

Flavor of ZONe KILLER COFFEE Awakening Sweet LATTE

When you take a sip, you get a smooth taste of milk’s sweetness and richness, along with the roasted flavor and subtle bitterness of coffee—just an ordinary, delicious café latte.

Among the countless café lattes released in Japan, the Awakening Sweet Latte doesn’t stand out with any particularly unique features, but it’s simply tasty with no missteps. This is just a really good, regular coffee.

Given the packaging design, the product name "Killer Coffee," and the fact that it's from the energy drink brand ZONe, you might expect something with an intense level of sweetness, richness, and creaminess. However, personally, I think the “ordinary café latte” approach is the right choice, one that most Japanese people will enjoy without any problem.

With a good balance of milk and sugar sweetness, this is perfect for those who crave a sweet coffee when feeling tired. I’d definitely want to stock this at home.

For easy purchasing, Amazon is your best bet given the limited distribution. They’re selling a special package that includes a coupon for up to 30% off your next purchase, making it an excellent deal for coffee can lovers.

Energy Ingredients of ZONe KILLER COFFEE Awakening Sweet LATTE

It contains 127mg of caffeine. There are no other energy ingredients included. As there is no energy drink label and the can simply says "Café Latte Coffee Beverage," it's best enjoyed as a regular café latte rather than an energy drink.

Design of ZONe KILLER COFFEE Awakening Sweet LATTE

The can features a striking design of a devilish skull wearing a hat with horns and fangs, giving it a bold and impactful look.
