what is ramune

Ramune is a Japanese carbonated soft drink that was introduced in 1884 in Kobe by the British pharmacist Alexander Cameron Sim. The name ramune is derived from a Japanese borrowing of the English word lemonade. Ramune is available in a Codd-neck bottle, a heavy glass bottle whose mouth is sealed by a round marble due to the pressure. Ramune is known for its distinctive Codd-neck bottle and is one of the modern symbols of summer in Japan and is widely consumed during warm festival. Ramune is also a category of soda-flavored products, including candy. The original ramune flavor is lime-lemon, but there have been 57 flavors of ramune.
