Pocari Sweat is a popular Japanese sports drink developed by Otsuka Pharmaceutical and first released in 1980. Designed to quickly replenish fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat, it has a light, mildly sweet taste that resembles the body’s natural hydration balance. Widely sold across Asia and other regions, Pocari Sweat is commonly consumed during sports, hot weather, or recovery from dehydration.
