Tried to Check the Taste of Energy Drink "ZONe Ver.1.0.0"

Review

There are many energy drinks on the market, but what kind of energy drink do you prefer?
There are many different tastes, such as spicy, sweet, sour, etc. Everyone has their own "favorite taste". I have a sweet tooth, so I prefer sweet energy drinks like Monster.
ZONe Ver. 1.0.0 is one such sweet energy drink. Like "ZONe Firewall Ver. 1.0.0", which we reviewed previously, it went on sale on May 13, 2020.
What does it taste like? Let's review it right away!

Suntory's Energy Drink "ZONe", finally Released Nationwide!

First, check out the appearance! Excellent design with black body

"ZONe" is an official sponsor of EVO Japan 2020

"ZONe Beta Ver. 0.8.5" was released at the end of 2019, and I was eager to taste again the unique chemically flavor that comes after its mild sweetness.
I would like to discuss the difference between Ver. 1.0.0 and Ver. 0.8.5.

The package is a different color from the "ZONe Firewall Ver. 1.0.0" introduced in the previous issue, with a shiny icon of a horizontal power button.
There are no major differences from the beta version, but the top is actually colored black anodized aluminum for a tighter appearance.
Below the logo is an illustration that reads "Dive to ZONe". Also, if you look closely at the color of the can, you can see that it is black with a slight greenish tint.
The packaging also expresses the world view of ZONe.

Harmonious design with gaming devices

The ZONe brand is also an official sponsor of EVO Japan 2020, and perhaps because of this, the design seems to have a very high affinity with gaming devices.
It makes me want to save the empty cans and put them together.

Looks OK! What about the taste?

Lately, I've been drinking energy drinks on a daily basis.

The appearance is important, but the most important thing is the taste.
Let's try it right away!

The blacked-out top is cool!
Saiga NAK編集部

The moment you open the pull-top, you can smell the sweet aroma. Just like "ZONe Firewall Ver. 1.0.0", the fruity aroma whets the appetite. The fruity aroma is very appetizing.
I think it is similar to melon or strawberry flavored juice.

Recently, I have been photographed in my office and people don't seem to wonder why I'm doing it.

It is said on various social networking sites to be "just like Monster" and that is exactly what it is when you try it. It has a strong sweetness like Monster.
It also has a slightly sour aftertaste like apples and a flavor that is typical of energy drinks. There is no stale taste, so it is quite drinkable.
There is not much difference from "ZONe Beta Ver. 0.8.5", but the acidity may have increased just a little bit.

Carbonation with a strong attack!

Whenever "ZONe Ver. 1.0.0" passed through my throat, I felt the "heat" that is typical of energy drinks.
It has a strong carbonation attack!
