Ramune is a classic Japanese flavor with a long history. Most famous as a slightly lime-flavored carbonated drink served in an iconic Codd-neck bottle with a marble in its neck, it's often enjoyed in summer as a nostalgic and refreshing drink. The flavor is also made into candies which are sold in dagashi (penny candy) stores, but also in local convenience stores and grocery stores.

If you love the flavor of ramune but are interested in trying it in a different format, then you may be interested in these new ramune candies now available at the Village Vanguard Online Store:
