In 2025, the end of the rainy season was announced across Japan, and summer is in full swing.
The sweltering heat continues every day, draining our energy and making us thirsty just from walking outside. At times like these, you crave a refreshing carbonated drink.
An energy drink that quenches your thirst and gives you that extra push is perfect, isn't it?
We're going to review "Monster Ripper," which arrived in Japan in July 2025!

The Juice is Loose…
The magical smells in the air driving out to surf the North Shore of Oahu was our inspiration for Ripper.
We started with a killer combo of tropical juices, added in some original Monster flavor, then souped it up with a full load of our potent Monster Energy Blend.
Banzai!
Ripper… another radical “Juice Monster” hybrid with exotic flavor and the big bad Monster buzz you know and love!
20% juice - 100% Monster!
The inspiration for this drink came from the journey to the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
It's sure to have a taste that makes you feel like you're in Hawaii!

The tropical scent fills the air the moment you open it!
It makes sense that it contains 23% fruit juice, the highest among currently available Juice Monsters!
The color of the energy drink is yellow, just like the packaging!
Juice Monsters, popular with Gen Z, are sure to live up to expectations this time too!
Quoted fromThe taste is a tropical fruit flavor that makes you feel like you're in a tropical country!
It's lightly carbonated and easy to drink, with a refreshing sweetness that makes you want to gulp it down.
I compared it with the regular "Monster Energy"!
The color difference is so clear you can tell at a glance which one is "Monster Ripper."
It doesn't taste like a typical energy drink like regular "Monster Energy"; instead, you can really feel the fruit juice, making it a perfect energy drink for the hot summer!
"Monster Ripper" has been available nationwide in Japan since Tuesday, July 1, 2024!
