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 TIGER ZERO SUGAR PLACEBO CLASSIC

When opened, a sweet and sour classic energy drink aroma fills the air. The scent is very much in line with the original TIGER, exuding the quintessential energy drink vibe. Let’s give it a taste.

Upon tasting, a tangy and sweet classic flavor spreads across the palate.

The artificial sweeteners contribute to a chemical-like classic energy drink taste, similar to the impression left by the full-sugar version.

This chemical tone seems to mimic the “energized feel,” possibly compensating for the lack of caffeine. With this being a zero-sugar version, the presence of artificial sweeteners further intensifies the chemical notes.

As typical of European zero-sugar drinks, the sweetness has been significantly toned down. If you prefer a lighter, refreshing take on the classic energy drink flavor, TIGER ZERO SUGAR PLACEBO CLASSIC is a perfect choice.
