Golden Week is finally here!
And with Golden Week comes energy drinks!
So during the holidays, the Saiga NAK editorial department will be reviewing some of the most unusual energy drinks we've acquired from various sources!
This time we review the iconic " Predator Energy Drink " with its lion logo!
Check the package
The "Predator Energy Drink" has a large lion in the center and the text "PREDATOR ENEGY DOUBLE STRENGTH" that makes a big impact.
There is no information in Japanese on the Internet, but it is sold by " Energy Beverages LLC," a subsidiary of Monster Beverage, which is well known for "Monster Energy," so it is not a suspicious product.
Check the Nutrition Facts label!
When we talk about energy drinks, we are concerned about the ingredients.
The ingredients per 330ml can are as follows
- Energy 232kcal
- Fat 0g
- Protein 0g
- Carbohydrates 58g
- Sugar 56g
- Sodium 135mg
- Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) 10.6mg
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) 0.92mg
The sugar content (Sugar ) is quite high at 56g....
Now, the tasting!
When I opened the can, I could smell the usual energy drink aroma.
The smell is oddly similar to that of Monster Energy, but when you actually drink it, the mouthfeel is surprisingly slightly carbonated.
And the sweetness that spreads in your mouth ! Sweet! Sweet!
The slightly carbonated taste seems to add to the sweetness of the drink.
In contrast to the logo, it is a gentle energy drink.
The appearance and smell of the package gave the impression of a royal energy drink, but when I actually drank it, the slight carbonation and sweetness were pushed to the forefront.
The name " Predator ", the impactful packaging, and the gap with the design of the official website make me moe! Is it?
This time I introduced " Predator Energy Drink " obtained in Vietnam.
It may be hard to find in Japan, but if you see it somewhere, remember this article and buy it!
