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 ZONe Big Luck 2023

Opening the can, a sweet and creamy scent wafts through the air. Hmm? What flavor could this be? When poured into a glass, it’s a cloudy green. Ah, could this be ZONe FIREWALL? Well, let’s give it a try.
Flavor of ZONe Big Luck 2023
Taking a sip, it tastes like a sweet melon cream soda with a slight chemical aftertaste, similar to ZONe FIREWALL.

Both the scent and taste are mellow and subtle, with no punch, and the flavor is a bit hard to define—similar to past releases. If the creamy aroma were a bit stronger, it might be easier to enjoy the melon cream soda flavor.

However, I didn’t expect the first ZONe release of 2023 to be a re-release of one of their original flavors. For those who missed this flavor, it’s a welcome return.

Design of ZONe Big Luck 2023

The dynamic daruma, drawn in red, white, gold, and black, is a symbol of Japan, yet also carries a strong hip-hop vibe, making it a striking design that stood out on store shelves.

You can also see the ZONe logo boldly painted in brush strokes. The overall color scheme and the flowing patterns in the daruma’s expression are fantastic. It’s a design that merges the power of traditional Japan with the intensity of hip-hop—a design that anyone will be drawn to. It’s intense.

The gold gloss of the "great luck" design is also a nice touch. The daruma design, paired with the product name "Big Luck," is likely inspired by the traditional "daikichi" (great fortune), making it perfect for the New Year or exam season.
