With the slogan “Cast a spell of happiness”, Joma is an energy drink designed to conjure up the image of a witch, whose powers transcend human abilities. The product's name, when read backwards, is the Japanese word for “witch” (majo), and the package's design is the image of a dark red can being held by a witch's hand, enhancing the impact of the product.

Joma is a carbonated energy drink classified by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as a Food with Nutrient Function Claims (Vitamin B6) that contains arginine, ginseng extract, guarana extract and caffeine in addition to the B vitamins that the Chocola BB brand is well-known for.
