-- ラムネ

If you have a chance to visit a Japanese culture festival, like our Bon Odori, have a try of this drink - Ramune, which comes from the word Lemonade.

What's so special about this drink??? The design of the bottle and the distinctive marble inside it.
Yes, only that. Otherwise, it taste like sprite or 7-up (if i remember correctly). The marble actually makes the drinking slightly harder, but that's what makes it special.

Normally consumed during the warm summer in Japan (which is now actually). And as mentioned in wikipedia - "modern symbols of summer in Japan"... but that's not how i came to know or why i would want to drink it, it's because of an anime titled Lamune... ahahah.

The one i drank came from Singapore's own "bon odori", brought home by my sis. Then this pictured one is from the most recent Bon Odori.

For those who did not watch the anime, instructions are provided on how to pop it open. You can see the marble clearly form this pic.
