Ramune drink for the kid in all of us
I do believe Japan has some of the best snacks (okashi)
around. Their taste is quite different compared to USA. If you have
tried them before, you know what I am talking about. Being a snack
junkie myself, I love them all. One of my favorite in particular, is a
drink call Ramune. This clear carbonated drink taste like Sprite cola.
I think it taste more like bubble gum to be exact. Ramune was not
originated from Japan. It derived from America in the form of lemonade
drink with the bottle coming from the United Kingdom. Japan than
packaged the product like so.
Now it is enjoyed by young kids with a sweet
tooth all around. What distinguish this drink from the rest is its
glass bottle and a marble inside. The marble is actually the cap. To
open the bottle, you would just push down the marble with a plastic
tab included with the drink. I was very surprised that not all
Japanese knew there was a correct way of drinking it. If you noticed
near the top, there are two indentation. Those marks should be pointed
to your mouth. Why? If you drink from any other side, the marble will
block the opening; thus, not allowing the soda to pass through. Make
sense doesn’t it? This new version of the bottle was introduced in
2006, as many people trying for the first time had difficulty drinking
it.
Ramune comes in several different favors. Watermelon, Lychee, Wasabi,
Apple, and Muscat to name a few. The original favor is call
lemon-lime.
