I found some of these japanese sodas produced by Sangaria in aluminum bottles at a local asian market. It's difficult to learn much about this brand because their official website and most others referring to it are in Japanese. Sangaria focuses mainly on tea flavored drinks, but also makes a few sodas some of which are Ramune drinks.
There is something to be said again, for the way japanese drinks stay true to their flavor roots. A quick waft of this smells like fresh cut strawberries, not sugar. The japanese have figured out a way to pick up this natural flavor better than any american strawberry drink I've ever had. They are either making their sodas with a different process or their consumers have a more critical palate. And it's not overly sugary and sweet, it maintains that slight tartness that real berries have.
Either way, they're dead on when they call their drinks refreshing. I can understand why they would devour these fruity drinks in the summer. Next summer I may go stock up on some more myself.
