Japan Ramune Drink

Description

What is "Ramune"

The beautifully tinted, imaginatively shaped Ramune bottle, with a texture that evokes a certain feeling of warmth… Ramune has been a beloved cultural staple since the Meiji era (the mid ***0s) in Japan. Indeed, it is impossible not to feel a nostalgic charm for its unique appearance and flavor.

So what is “Ramune”?

Ramune is a carbonated drink that has a glass marble “plug” in the mouth of the bottle. Regarding questions concerning Ramune, in ***8, the (Fair Trade Commission) has released the following statement:

"A situation arising over the misunderstanding by the consumer regarding Ramune is unfavorable. Therefore, the name “Ramune” refers to a carbonated beverage filled in a bottle with a glass-marble plug (also known as a Codd-Neck Bottle). Nurtured into creation by the efforts of small businesses for nearly **0 years, one could say that Ramune is the pioneer of the Japanese soft drink.”

This History of Ramune

According to the “Japanese History of Soft Drinks”, the first time a carbonated beverage (the prototype of the modern-day Ramune) was introduced to Japan was by Commodore Perry in ***3 when he docked in Uraga, whereupon it is said that Ramune was served all around to the shogunate government officials during negotiations aboard the warship. In a legend very much in the spirit of the times when East met West, it is said that when Perry popped the bottle cork (the precursor to the glass-marble plug), the ensuing “pop” was mistaken for gunfire and the government officials of the Edo Shogunate who were present instantly all drew their katana swords. Alternatively, it is said that in ***5, (Hannbee Fujise) of Nagasaki, Japan, started selling Ramune under the name “Lemon Sui” (Lemon Water). However, this name did not catch on, and instead became

“Ramune” to the general Japanese public, who could not pronounce “lemonade”.

The Secrets of Ramune

Perhaps the most distinctive thing about Ramune is the glass marble. The first time the (Codd-Neck) Ramune bottle with a glass-marble plug was introduced to Japan was ***8, and until then, cork plugs were used instead of marbles. So then, exactly how does the marble plug the bottle? By filling the bottle with the Ramune solution and carbonation while the marble is in a depressed state and then quickly flipping it upside down, the pressure of the carbonation contained within the bottle

causes the marble to push into the mouth of the bottle. Thereupon the rubber ring at the mouth of the

bottle acts as a gasket, and the marble then creates an airtight seal. (Of course, this is manufactured

using machines for Ramune production.)
