 Something NiceJun 12, 2007
By Mark

Ito En Sencha Shot is a very decent product and a nice departure from the current run of energy drinks. Following the wildfire success of Red Bull, company after company has come up with energy drinks involving high concentrations of caffeine and taurine. Caffeine has known long-term effects on health, while taurine has barely been studied.
Sencha Shot is a refreshing departure from the common approach to sports/energy drinks. Instead of loading it with strange things that produce a big lift in the drinker's feelings of overall physical energy, Sencha shot takes a milder and much more sensible approach giving the drinker a quick dose of chilled green tea with some vitamin C added, offering the *positive* health effects of the green tea's antioxidant properties. To put that another way, in comparison with other "proper" energy drinks like Red Bull, Amp, MDX, Rock Star etc, etc, drinking Sencha Shot is a lot less like getting hit with a hammer.
Now it's true that you could for all intents and purposes get all the effects of Sencha Shot by brewing a big pot of decent-quality green tea, and then eating an orange, but it wouldn't be portable and you'd look very strange if you offered it to someone.
Be that as it may, the most I can tell you about it is that I like it. It's good and good for you and it's not expensive. In fact, when bought by the case, on a per-can basis, it costs around half what Starbuck's doubleshot espresso does and there's not a thing wrong with it. It may be the only "energy drink" on the market that you could give to a child with a clear conscience.

 Good EnergyOct 10, 2007
By Water
This is just how tea is taken in Japan, but put into a steel can. A touch of astringecny (a preferred taste for Japanese green tea) is a small price to pay for all of the naturally occurring antioxidants to be had from this unsisified, fiesty little drink.

Sencha Shot a Sure ShotOct 19, 2007
By B. Metcalf
Great alternative to the popular caffeinated drinks. No crash and burn after drinking this green tea drink. It's a nice pick-me-up.
The only problem is with the packaging. Some of the cans were dented.

If you want to pump up your antioxidants and get a natural lift then this little can-can. I would advise drinking it cold as it is a pretty strong brew!!

This is good stuffJun 02, 2008
By J. Hopkins
I've purchased 2 cases now. The 1st one was dented like crazy, but no damage to the product. The 2nd one was perfectly fine. I love the convenience of the can and it's a really good strong tea. I've even got some of my friends drinking it now. When I can't brew my own at home, this stuff is great on the go. It's pure japanese green tea, no other fillers, additives, sugar, etc. It's provides you energy, but it's not bogus energy that turns into a crash.
