Japan Drink Taste Test #2 ~ Real Gold

Even though I’ve barely had time to recover from my last run in with a gross drink, I’m back with another disgusting concoction. This time it’s “Real Gold”, an energy drink.

Delicious. As I mentioned I probably won’t do another drink for a few days. I need time to detoxify.

    Inspired by your post I went straight out to Seicomart and purchased myself some Reak Gold and its sister drink Real Zaida. My thoughts….one word…awesome. Like drinking Haribo.

    What’s that? If you cram cat vomit into a can and shake it, you’d get real gold? I have to try that… I’ll be rich someday.

    When I went to Japan, all my friends became addicted to this stuff. We were all curious as to why we had become obsessed with it, and apparently, it has nicotine in it.

    Don’t drink Real Gold.

    Real Gold is a delicious drink, I believe you had a prejudice opinion on it before even tasting it, with your mind set on insulting it. It’s not far off lemonade in flavour.

    I love Real Gold! It tastes delicious! I don’t know why you say it tastes so bad! Anyway, don’t judge a drink because of one person’s opinion. Try it for yourself people!

    Chase: Yeah you’re right. People really should try it, my reviews were never meant to be taken seriously. I am surprised at how much support this drink is still getting even now, nearly a year later, on Youtube.

    But I’ll never like it :D

    Well when I went to Japan I basically drank this everyday seeing as it was probably the cheapest energy drink in the Vendor’s.

    I actually got very addicted to the taste and wanted to drink some back with me.

    Where can I buy Real Gold? A website or store would be the best. I live in the U.S. by the way.

    I went to Japan last year for a study abroad program and had it the whole time I was there for a month. I’m sure I drank at least one can everyday. and everyone on our trip absolutely loved it.
