Collection: Ramune and other Japanese sodas

Ramune was introduced to Japan in 1876, during the Meiji era, by a British merchant. The name "ramune" comes from the Japanese pronunciation of "lemonade." This bottle, equipped with a glass marble to seal its contents, has become iconic. Today, ramune is an essential drink at Japanese festivals (matsuri).

To open a bottle of ramune, you need to press the glass marble with the provided tool (usually a plastic cap). This pressure pushes the marble into the bottle, allowing the drink to flow.

For many Japanese people, it is synonymous with nostalgia and evokes childhood memories.

Ramune attracts many foreigners thanks to its unique design, original opening method, and exotic flavors. It is often seen as a cultural experience in its own right, as well as a delicious drink.

Ramune pairs well with Japanese snacks like takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes), or edamame (soybeans).

It is also ideal for accompanying sweets like mochi, dorayaki (pancakes filled with red bean paste), or taiyaki (fish-shaped waffles).

Mix ramune with fresh fruits like strawberries, lemons, or melon to create a personalized sparkling drink.
