Expired items...expiry date September 13th 2025

I'm a big fan of sports drinks in general, and Pocari Sweat is probably my favorite out of all of them. It has a nice, light citrus flavor to it, and I feel like it quenches my thirst as well as any other brand of sports drink. It also comes attractively packaged, as can be seen in my photo, with a clean and simple bottle and label design. My only complaint about my subscription to Pocari Sweat is how much the price varies. Sometimes it is under $20 for a 12-pack, which makes me happy because that is less than the price I pay for it in our local Asian supermarkets. Sometimes it is more than $25 for the same 12-pack, which makes me considerably less happy, because at that point, it's cheaper to buy it locally. Aside from the variance in pricing, I do highly recommend Pocari Sweat for how great it tastes.

I don't really go in for most drink fads, especially "enhanced water" products, but as a part-time fireman who works long days out in the sun, hydration is critical, so I gave this a try after seeing how popular it was in Japan. I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes great and was a really nice alternative to plain water and sports drinks. I don't drink it all the time, but I will stock up before working big events when I'm outside for 10 to 14 hours each day.

Solid rehydration drink that holds up here in the US as much as it did for me in Japan!

slightly sweet, so good!
