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 8,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of 28 BLACK SOUR YUZU-HOLUNDERBLÜTE

When opening the can, a faint scent of citrus fruits with a honey-lemon note and sweetness fills the air.

Upon tasting, a strong acidity and the refreshing sweetness and bitterness of citrus fruit flesh spread across the palate. After drinking, a subtle yuzu-like fragrance gently lingers, which is nicely done.

The acidity and refreshing bitter taste, reminiscent of yuzu, are well-represented, offering a mature, bitter citrus flavor. Unlike the simple combination of citrus and sugar, what stands out is the almost non-existent sweetness.

Furthermore, SOUR YUZU HOLUNDERBLÜTEN avoids a cheap, overly sour taste due to the skillful recreation of yuzu aroma and the refreshing, soft flavor of elderflower.

Personally, I really enjoy the development of elderflower-inspired flavors, which are characteristic of European energy drinks. The combination of yuzu’s savory bitterness and the elderflower’s subtlety adds richness to the flavor, enhancing the overall taste with a spicy touch. This is highly praised.
