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 NOS Charged Citrus

NOS energy drinks are generally known for their strong flavors, refreshing aroma, and satisfying drinking experience.

The Charged Citrus flavor is no exception, offering a refreshing citrus taste with a nice depth that makes it very enjoyable ((o(´∀｀)o)).
It has a bright lemon and lime zest, giving it a slightly sparkling feel similar to a “sparkling Yunker,” but with a more refreshing touch.
While it’s light and crisp, it still leaves a pleasant sweetness and maintains that signature NOS strength, so the satisfaction level is high.

To put it more simply, it’s like CC Lemon, but with a much stronger aroma and taste. The fact that there’s no strange aftertaste is also a big plus.

Additionally, the unique haziness that NOS has makes it visually appealing, giving you that unmistakable "I'm drinking NOS" feeling (ｕ_ｕ*).
