Ramune (ラムネ)
Ramune(ラムネ) is a popular Japanese carbonated soft drink known for its unique bottle design, particularly the Codd-neck bottle sealed with a marble.
The word “ramune” is derived from the English word “lemonade,” reflecting its original citrus flavor, although today it comes in many varieties like strawberry, melon, and lychee.
The bottle’s defining feature is a glass marble that acts as the seal. To open the bottle, you push the marble into a chamber below the bottle’s neck. The marble is then trapped there and creates the iconic “clinking” sound when drinking.
Ramune is often associated with summer festivals (matsuri) in Japan and has become a nostalgic symbol for many Japanese people. It’s not just a refreshing drink but also an experience, thanks to the fun of opening the bottle. The packaging and flavors make it popular among children and adults alike, and it’s also a curiosity for tourists visiting Japan.
