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 ROCKSTAR PUNCHED Aguas Frescas STRAWBERRY

Upon opening the can, a sweet strawberry candy aroma fills the air. There’s no hint of real fruit pulp—it’s entirely focused on an artificial strawberry taste. Let’s give it a try.

As I take a sip, a touch of acidity provides a refreshing accent, while the surprisingly crisp mouthfeel makes it taste light and juicy rather than overwhelmingly sweet.

Most of the strawberry character comes from the aroma, while the actual taste is light and doesn’t linger, reminiscent of a strawberry-flavored water.

The Aguas Frescas series contains only half the sugar of regular energy drinks, making it a half-sugar type. It also avoids artificial sweeteners, resulting in a low-calorie, refreshing taste.

The ROCKSTAR PUNCHED Aguas Frescas series was developed with Hispanic culinary culture in mind.

"Aguas Frescas," the theme of this drink, refers to a traditional Mexican beverage made by mixing water, sugar, lime, and a primary fruit flavor, creating a light and refreshing drink. This Rockstar series appears to embrace that same Aguas Frescas-inspired drinking experience.

If you expect the rich, sugary intensity of the usual ROCKSTAR PUNCHED series, this might taste too mild. However, if you understand the characteristics of "Aguas Frescas," you can appreciate it as a refreshing summer-friendly energy drink!
