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 Red Bull Winter Edition 2023 (Japan)

Upon opening the can, a gentle and refreshing muscat grape scent fills the air. The high quality of the aroma raises the expectations for the taste quite a bit. Will it live up to the hype? Let's give it a try!

As soon as it touches your lips, a sweet and tangy muscat flavor spreads. The moment you bite into muscat grape flesh, a refined and juicy taste bursts forth.

Even though it's made without fruit juice, it captures the essence of muscat grapes quite well. I encourage you to savor it slowly while reading this review.

The acidity is beautifully enveloped by the gentle sweetness of the muscat grape, creating a realistic flavor and a smooth, drinkable texture. After drinking, a fragrant muscat scent lingers. This results in a flavor that's rich in changes in both taste and aroma, keeping you engaged without growing tired of it.

When drinking with ice, the refreshing sensation is heightened, but the juicy sweetness of the muscat grape can be too overpowering and fade. To enjoy the authentic taste of muscat grape, it's best to refrigerate it.

Although it's released as a winter seasonal product, it still offers a wonderfully refreshing taste that's perfect for the season. Buying it in bulk and enjoying a cold, ice-filled Winter Edition during early summer might be a great idea.

Energy Ingredients of Red Bull Winter Edition 2023 (Japan)

Red Bull Winter Edition 2023 Muscat Energy Ingredients
Contains 80mg of caffeine and 300mg of arginine. You can enjoy the muscat flavor while benefiting from Red Bull's signature energy ingredients.

While the Japanese energy drink market has been flooded with fruit juice-based products, Red Bull sticks to its global standard of being juice-free. What sets the Red Bull Edition series apart is its ability to deliver a flavor that rivals or even surpasses juice-based products, despite containing no fruit juice.

The matte texture and fresh green create a refreshing atmosphere reminiscent of muscat grapes. When holding the actual can, the green color has a more subdued tone compared to the official Red Bull CG imagery, without the intense shine.

At the top right, you’ll find the “NEW” label, which started appearing in the previous Red Bull Summer Edition 2023. This might indicate that Red Bull will use the “NEW” label for limited-edition products.

If a seasonal edition proves popular, it can evolve into a color or flavor edition and eventually become a regular product. In Japan, the original Summer Edition became the Yellow Edition.

Personally, I think this Winter Edition 2023 has such a high-quality, refreshing flavor that I’d love to see it become a permanent product, even for summer.
