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 ENERGY BiG AiR

When opened, a sweet strawberry scent bursts out. When poured into a glass, it has a strawberry milk-like color with a mix of pink and milky white. You can probably imagine the taste just from the look. Let's give it a try.
Flavor of ZONe ENERGY BiG AiR
Upon tasting, the sweetness of strawberry and the creamy, smooth milky sweetness spread across the palate, giving it a strawberry milk flavor. The milky taste is not too strong, and the creamy aftertaste is light. The strawberry flavor is well-balanced with the milk, and the overall taste is just right.

If this flavor and color seem familiar, it's because it closely resembles the ZONe Endless Night from 2022.

That was an exclusive strawberry milk flavor released at Don Quijote.

The nutritional composition is exactly the same. The calorie count and other values are identical. ZONe has previously re-released products with new packaging, and this BiG AiR could be part of that trend. The flavor impression also feels quite close to the previous release.

How did you feel about the return of this strawberry milk flavor?

Design of ZONe ENERGY BiG AiR

After tasting it, it's clear that the main color, pink, was chosen to evoke a strawberry milk flavor.

The ZONe logo features a snowboarder, and the product name is "BiG AiR," reflecting the winter release theme.

Given the sleek design, I thought it would be a crisp and refreshing soda-flavored drink, but the inside is actually a smooth and gentle strawberry milk. The taste and design have a bit of a mismatch.

The barcode area features a snowboard, and compared to other ZONe products, BiG AiR has a much simpler design.

Both the strawberry milk-flavored Endless Night for summer and the winter-themed BiG AiR have active, bright, and outgoing vibes in their design and product names. Is it a coincidence?
