The package of 'ZONe ENERGY 5772K' looks like this.

The name '5772K' comes from the surface temperature of the sun, and also represents the powerful, burning flavor of the coffee.

Looking at the raw material names, there are sugar, glucose,

Each 500ml bottle contains 265kcal, 2000mg of arginine, 2.5g of palatinose, and 75mg of caffeine. There is a warning on the top that says, 'This drink contains the spiciness of chili peppers and ginger, so please be careful if you do not like these spicy foods.'

When poured into a glass, the liquid was brown, like barley tea.

When I tried it, it tasted like a spicy ginger ale, with a sweet and spicy aroma, and a tingling sensation like eating chili peppers in the back of my nose. Even after drinking it, the tingling sensation remains in the back of my tongue and throat, so those who don't like spicy food may not be able to finish it. The strong stimulation also increases the feeling of energy being injected, making it the perfect energy drink for those who want to give their body a boost.

'ZONe ENERGY 5772K' will be available at Don Quijote, Apita, Piago, and U-Store stores nationwide from Tuesday, December 3, 2024, with a suggested retail price of 210 yen (excluding tax).
