This is Kyokyo Daha from the Tokiwa Pharmaceutical Company. This drink is not a pharmaceutical or a quasi-drug. This means that you can drink this more than one time a day even if you're younger than a 15 year old. This drink has 150mg of caffeine and some other ingredients like ginseng extract.
Taste:
This tastes horrible, one of the worst I've tasted in a while. It tastes like liquid tiramisu.......(Note: I don't like tiramisu or sweetened coffee)Price:
about 250 yen (expensive, since this packs a small punch)
Effect:
150mg of caffeine is a lot, but you'll get the same effect as drinking 3 cups of coffee......in my opinion. However, it fails to pack a punch in energy, as it just makes you feel more awake. In that sense, it doesn't even compare to other (pharmaceutical) energy drinks.
Wow! This was posted in 2011, and I'm only now finding out about this wonderful drink that the Blogger downplayed.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone reading:
- The drink tastes like small shots of coffee.
- Is great for people who don't drink coffee or cola and still want to enjoy caffeine.
- Is NOT horrible, but actually good for people on the go who need a boost.
- Instead of that drag coffee puts you through, this wears off naturally.
It may increase your heart rate, but that's also a risk with any energy drink.
