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 BLACK ENERGY CITRUS

When I open the can, a chemical, bitter lemon-flavored aroma bursts out. The scent reminds me of tonic water, but how does it taste? Let’s take a sip.
Flavor of BLACK ENERGY CITRUS
On the palate, a strongly tart lemon candy-like flavor comes through, followed by a lingering bitter aftertaste that remains alongside a residue left in the mouth.

Along with the lemon candy-like sweetness, there is also a noticeable bitter, chemical edge, creating a flavor that blends lemon candy notes with a more mature, tonic water-like character.

Because it is full sugar, it has a solid, satisfying mouthfeel, and even with ice added, the lemon candy-like character remains clearly present. This makes it clear that BLACK ENERGY CITRUS has a stronger lemon candy profile than a typical citrus-flavored drink.
