Green Dakara is a mineral-replenishing drink made by Suntory. It's not an energy drink but more like something in between a sports drink and flavored water. Perhaps "A less fruity tasting version of Vitamin Water" would be a good way to describe it.
6 of them are citrus fruits, grapefruit juice, lemon juice&peel, amanatsu, pomelo, shiikwaasaa (peel), and yuzu (peel). The other 8 are aloe vera, salt, seaweed (extract), tomato (extract), sugarcane, black sesame seed, sugar, and honey.
The ingredients that are used most are the grapefruit and lemon juices. On the label it says that there are less than 10% of those grapefruit and lemon juices contained so it's basically almost all water.
Overall, it's a nice refreshing drink, and can be a healthy and efficient way of quenching your thirst on a hot summer day.

How does it taste?
The drink is very soft and not too sweet, much like most flavored waters(although Green Dakara is not marketed as flavored water). You can clearly taste the grapefruit but you can't really make out the other ingredients. So it's basically a grapefruit flavored water with an added softness due to the added minerals from the other ingredients.Overall, it's a nice refreshing drink, and can be a healthy and efficient way of quenching your thirst on a hot summer day.
Hey this Green Dakara drink is really looking yummy. I love grapefruit juice and lemon juice so I think I will love this drink. I also take Green drink to refresh myself when I go for workout. This drink helps me to stay healthy too.
ReplyDeleteI just tried Green Dakara today. I was surprised at its sweet taste. I was thirsty so I gulped the whole glass but because of the sugar in it, I could not finish the 2nd glass, so since I was still thirsty, I had to drink something without sugar in it...I feel sugar makes me want to hydrate with plain water less..but since it is summer and I sweat a lot. I know I have to drink more plain water. Dakara is okay, delicious, just wished they did not put sugar in it...
