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 KNOCKOUT ENERGY Monkey Punch

Given the name "Monkey Punch" and the yellow can, I was worried it might be banana-flavored, and sure enough, it is! The aftertaste is especially strong with banana flavor (´・ω・｀).
KNOCKOUT ENERGY Monkey Punch
Overall, it's a sweet and syrupy flavor, combining banana with coconut, pineapple, mango, peach, and melon. It's as if all the sweet tropical fruits were added together. The tropical fruit sweetness is a bit stronger, and the carbonation is just right, making it an easy-to-drink, heavy sweet flavor.

The Monkey of Monkey Punch

KNOCKOUT ENERGY Monkey Punch It's unclear when this monkey first appeared in Knockout Energy, but it's firmly gripping a Monkey Punch.
Well, let's just say that it doesn't give off a cool vibe, which is typical for B-grade energy drinks.

The taste is quite high-level for all their products, but it seems they’re losing out due to their design sense. If the taste, price, and design all improved, demand could definitely increase. Unfortunately, this does discourage energy drink enthusiasts from buying it (；´∀｀).
