Hata Ramune: The Japanese stopover we couldn't refuse

You're on Pop's America , the temple of American food. So what's a Japanese bottle doing here? It's simple: we love the United States, but above all, we love Pop Culture and fun products. And if there's one drink that rivals American sodas in terms of "cool," it's Ramune Hata .

A true star of anime, manga, and social media, this Japanese lemonade is a real find. We decided to import it to offer you a little taste of Tokyo between packs of Reese's . Because good taste knows no borders!

The "Pschitt" and "Cling-Cling" ritual

What makes Hata Ramune so great isn't just its taste, it's its opening. It's the only bottle you play with before drinking. Forget traditional stoppers. Here, the bottle is sealed with a glass marble .

The challenge of opening (Quick Tutorial):

Remove the pusher from the colored cap.
Place it on the neck of the bottle, above the ball.
Give it a sharp blow with the palm of your hand!
The ball falls inside, releasing the fine bubbles.
With each sip, the marble clinks against the glass. That's the Ramune experience.

Sweet flavors from elsewhere

Unlike American sodas, which are often incredibly sugary, Japanese Ramune opts for subtlety. The carbonation is fine, the taste delicate. We've selected the most popular flavors:

Original (Nature): A light "Lemon-Lime" type lemonade, very thirst-quenching.
Melon (Green): The absolute best-seller in Japan. A very "candy-like" melon taste, sweet and well-rounded.
Strawberry & Lychee: Reliable, fruity and fragrant choices.
Blueberry : For the fun of the color and the taste of forest fruits.

Why does Hata have a place at Pop's America ?

Because it's an icon. The glass bottle (the "Codd" design) is unique in the world. It's a collector's item, a childhood memory for Japanophiles, and an incredible discovery for newcomers. Whether you're Team Comics or Team Manga, Ramune is a crowd-pleaser at snack time.

FAQ - Curious Minute

Does the marble prevent drinking?

It's a little game! If you lift the bottle too quickly, the marble might block the hole. The trick? Look at the neck: there are two small indentations in the glass to hold the marble in place. It's technical, it's Japanese!

Can we retrieve the ball?

The cap is sealed for safety (to prevent accidental ingestion). We advise against trying to break the bottle. Keep it as a decorative piece; it looks beautiful on a shelf.
