Summer Pick #3: Japanese Classic Soda, Ramune!

Before the summer is gone, please stop by Otafuku and try Ramune, Japanese Classic soda! Ramune is a carbonated soft drink originally sold in Japan Ramune is widely known for the distinctive design of its bottle, often called Codd-neck bottles after the inventor, Hiram Codd. They are made of glass and sealed with a marble; the codd head is held in place by the pressure of the carbonation in the drink. 


To open the bottle, a device to push the marble inward is provided with the bottle. The marble is pushed inside the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while drinking.


This drink always reminds me of summer when I was a little boy..
