Otsuka Pharmaceutical Pocari Sweat Powder for 10l (1)

The best sports drink ever. This power pack is the best value for the money.

Purchased for my son who was seeking an alternative to Gatorade. He read about this product and decided to give it a try. Product itself is great. Very pleasant tasting. My son says it helps him stay hydrated while working outdoors and biking. My issue is with Amazon. It took almost a full week to arrive. Ordered Oct 8. Scheduled to arrive by the 10th. Delayed till the 11th. Was not delivered until Oct 14th. Certainty not a Prime experience.

Best value for Pocari in the United States. I used this after a run or if I’m just feeling dehydrated on a hot day and it works wonders. It’s not overly sweet or salty—perfectly balanced for a rejuvenating beverage.

Pocari Sweat is basically Japan’s version of Gatorade sports drink. This package is a single packet designed to make 10 litres of solution. I mistakenly thought it was 10 packets for 1 litre, each, but that’s no big deal. The packets for 1 litre of solution are 74 grams each, so just weigh out 74 grams of powder to 1000 mL of water (or a full Nalgene 1 litre bottle). For lovers of everything Japanese, Pocari Sweat is a novelty that isn’t sold directly in the US (to my knowledge, at least, I’ve never seen it at retail), but the price is pretty reasonable via Amazon, at about $1.35/litre equivalent. Although Otsuka Pharma doesn’t sell a carbonated version, you can mix 74 grams of powder with 200 mL of water, then dilute 1:4 with carbonated water to make your own, which is quite tasty and refreshing. I’m actually surprised they don’t sell it as soda in cans, because I think it would sell pretty well. For home use, the 10 L packet is fine, but I will probably pick up some 1 L packets for backpacking/travel.

It’s a great product, I just thought it’d be individual packets. It’s actually one single huge packet for 10L.

Affordable option for Pocari Sweat addicts! This is my favorite way to stay hydrated because it tastes so much better than US hydration packs or liquid IV products. Bottled Pocari sweat is very expensive with import costs— but this gets around that! You mix the powder into water and you have as much Pocari as you want

I feel so hydrated. It’s not salty and the taste is not offensive. It does have grapefruit powder in it! Please be aware of this for any medication reactions. Either way, I love this product and will be buying it again! 10/10

Really like the product! You can control the intensity with more or less powder.

I love this drink, I tried in Asia, the best flavor from my experience. I finally found it again in France!

Man oh man is this stuff good! As someone else said here, 37 grams of powder to 500ml of water is a perfect ratio of you just want a single servings worth. Just keep it in an air tight container once you open it. It's a tad saltier than the stuff in the bottle but it's not terrible, if anything it tastes better

Great product, has good flavour and does what it states. It may be a bit more expensive but it is really amazing.

Love this stuff. Store it in the fridge and it won’t bind together.
