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 MUSASHI ENERGY LEMONADE

Upon opening the can, a sharp lemony aroma bursts out with a strong acidic punch. Let's give it a taste.

The moment it touches the tongue, an intense lemon acidity and aroma spread throughout the mouth. The piercing sourness is reminiscent of Japan’s high-concentration vitamin C drinks.

Rather than calling it a “lemonade flavor,” it feels more accurate to describe it as a “lemon flavor” due to its dominant sourness. However, the gentle sweetness in the aftertaste may be what justifies the “lemonade” label.

What’s truly surprising is how natural this sweetness feels—completely free from the unpleasant or light taste often associated with artificial sweeteners. It’s easy to forget this drink is sugar-free. From the first sip to the lingering aftertaste, it remains smooth and satisfying, reaffirming the excellence of MUSASHI ENERGY’s world-class zero-sugar formula.

Energy Ingredients of MUSASHI ENERGY LEMONADE

Energy Ingredients of MUSASHI ENERGY LEMONADE
Contains 160mg of caffeine, 1600mg of beta-alanine, 1000mg of BCAAs, 300mg of acetyl tyrosine, and 3000mg of citrulline.

While it’s an energy drink from a fitness supplement brand, the caffeine content is relatively modest at 160mg—this is due to Australia’s legal limit on caffeine content.

On the other hand, the MUSASHI ENERGY series is formulated with various amino acids that are effective as pre-workout ingredients for fitness purposes.

This can follows the common MUSASHI ENERGY series design: a matte black background adorned with a samurai mask. For this lemonade flavor, yellow is used as the accent color.

The samurai mask illustration is unique to the MUSASHI ENERGY series and is not used in the brand’s supplement products.

MUSASHI is originally known for amino acids and other supplements, and its main product line features simple, minimalistic packaging without any samurai imagery. The use of a samurai design in the energy drink series seems to be intended to evoke a more powerful, dynamic impression.

On the back of the can, you’ll find a slightly cringe-worthy poem along with a note that MUSASHI ENERGY offers a new type of energy drink tailored for fitness enthusiasts.
