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 Back to the Future Energy Drink

Upon opening the can, a sweet-and-tangy, refreshingly classic energy drink aroma bursts out. It is a reassuringly familiar scent. Let us take a sip.
Flavor of Back to the Future Energy Drink
On the palate, a juicy, sweet-and-sour classic-style flavor spreads smoothly across the mouth. The chemical note is kept to a minimum, resulting in an orthodox, classic energy drink flavor that feels like a well-balanced blend of the best qualities of Red Bull and Monster Energy.

This stable, familiar taste feels like something I have had somewhere before. It is very close to "Energy Bomber", a long-selling low-priced Japanese energy drink by Hoshaku.

It delivers exactly the flavor everyone imagines and expects when they hear "energy drink". A reliable, unmistakable taste that appeals to a wide audience.

It is not a quirky or unusually distinctive flavor, but especially for collaboration energy drinks, when there is no specific flavor motif tied to a person, character, or work, I feel that a classic-style flavor like this is the best choice. It is a safe, dependable taste that anyone can enjoy without disappointment.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary, it appears that not only this energy drink, but also a wide range of related products such as merchandise, food items, and collaborations with restaurants were released across various fields.

The font used on the lower part of the can honestly adds to its cheap-looking impression, which is a downside. However, for those who have been drinking energy drinks for many years, do the ingredient layout, font, and overall placement look familiar?

Yes, it is "Energy Bomber", which I also mentioned in the flavor review.

Anyone who immediately recalls Energy Bomber just by seeing this font and ingredient arrangement is likely someone who has been drinking Japanese energy drinks since their early days.

If that is the case, you might also think the moment you take a sip, "This tastes kind of like Energy Bomber."

The ingredient content is the same as Energy Bomber, and the manufacturer is also the Asheed Group.

There is little doubt that what is inside is essentially Energy Bomber itself, a classic masterpiece of Japanese orthodox energy drink flavors.
