A renewal version of 'Kirin Fire One Day Black' has appeared, and I actually compared it with the one before the renewal.

Kirin's PET bottle coffee 'Fire One Day Black ', which has a large capacity and can be enjoyed even at room temperature, will be renewed on September 28, 2021 (Tuesday). The renewal version enhances the aroma the moment you put it in your mouth, and the aftertaste is refreshing, so I actually drank it compared to before the renewal.

This is the renewed 'Fire One Day Black'.

If you look side by side with the one before the renewal (on the right side), the package design is based on silver, but after the renewal, the upper side has a coffee-like design. In addition, the color of the logo mark and the font of 'BLACK' have been modified.

Both raw materials are common to 'coffee (coffee beans (Brazil)) / fragrance'.

Calories are also common at 0 kcal, but carbohydrates are slightly different, 0.6 g (0 g sugar) after renewal (left side) and 0.5 g (0 g sugar) before renewal (right side). Both contents are 600ml.

'Please shake well before drinking', so after shaking each one well ...

I poured it into a cup.

Regarding the color, the redness is slightly stronger after the renewal (left side), and the impression before the renewal (right side) is closer to pure black.

First of all, when you drink it after the renewal, you can feel the aroma and bitterness of roasted beans, but the aftertaste is refreshing. It was also characteristic that the fragrant scent jumped in when the nose was brought closer.

Then, when I drank it before the renewal, the flavor with roast beef that was clear after the renewal weakened. The bitterness and sourness peculiar to coffee are felt a little stronger, so I had the impression that the 'clean feeling' increased after the renewal.

The renewed Kirin 'Fire One Day Black' will be released on September 28, 2021 (Tuesday). The suggested retail price is 138 yen excluding tax.
