 Fun Yummy Soda!!! May 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This soda is so fun to drink and has a mild bubblegum flavor. Don't pay attention to the reviews that say it was hard or confusing to open; there are instructions right on the label, it couldn't be easier!!! This is fun for children and adults alike. Children CANNOT choke on the marble, it is securely contained within the bottle neck so DON'T worry! Have fun!
AMAZING TASTE December 27, 2007
I first found this at my school and was amazed with the small ball that is used to seal the container. To describe the taste think of carbonated gummy-bears. a must buy and dont forget to collect the balls inside of the glass.

the beverage is delicious but they need to take some safety precautions before they mass market this product of potential death. If you do not puncture the top carefully and instead do it extremely hard while on the phone with an experienced user you will experience what the japanese refer to as "ramune anger". Notable side effects include covering oneself the entire interior of one's car in ramune.
This product needs more warnings on the side of the bottle and amazon should discontue vending it until these problems are resolved.
Ichiban Desu Ne!? May 9, 2007

I first stumbled across this wonderful concoction in a department store in Okinawa. My buddy and I each bought a bottle almost as an after thought (it gets brutally hot and humid there) and wandered back out into the street. We couldn't open the bottle, no matter how much we twisted and pried and appealed to examples of familiar American packaging! Eventually we were forced to go back inside and ask the sales girl for assistance, which she very graciously gave us, although you could tell she thought it was funny. And I suppose it was, at that! See, this stuff even transcends the language barrier! (If you're reading this, Calloway, I want my 200 yen back!)
The top of the cap must be punctured in order to open, and the neck of the bottle narrows to a point about midway up (or down, if you will.) You can see the indentation I refer to in the picture above. A small marble is allowed to roll freely in the upper chamber, resting while upright on top of the narrow hole, so that when you tilt the bottle back to sip the marble rolls out and allows liquid to pass the choke point. We got such a kick out of this unique design that we both bought more bottles to take to sea. I still have some of the Okinawa vintage left, but I'm not sure it would still be good to drink.
The flavor I had was a cross between citrus and bubble gum; certainly not your standard Coca-Cola sugar rush. (Sorry, I like Coke too, but comparisons must be made!) I understand other flavors are available, and are no doubt just as good. Oddly enough, I didn't see this product offered for sale very often on the Kanto plain, but I probably just didn't know where to look. Once I was living in Yokosuka I got hooked on another Asian drink. I forget the name, but it tasted a little like an orange creamsicle. I miss Japan so much! Guess I'll just have to settle for drinking Ramune until I get back to that part of the world. Enjoy!
 Unique bottle, but typical taste. January 29, 2007

I've tried several types of ramune soda, and while the packaging is certainly unique compared to the typical twist-cap, the flavors are themselves quite similar to locally available stuff. An interesting item to experience, but not something I'd purchase regularly.
A less fascinating package but a more intriguing taste can be found in Clearly Canadian carbonated beverages. I'd suggest giving those a shot once you get bored of playing with your newly discovered bottle-bound marble.
