Shirakiku Ramune Grape

I thought I had seen all the flavors of ramune from Shirakiku but then happened upon this little bottle of grape. If this is the first time you've seen such a bottle, check out this earlier post which explains a little about the history of the bottle.

This soda has a sweet sugary smell like a grape twin-stick Popsicle. The flavor is nice and light. But unlike the very natural taste of other ramune from this brand the grape falls short of that "real fruit" flavor and is more like an American grape flavored soda. The light, fresh feeling you get from these make them a no brainer in the summer, which is when they are most popular back in Japan. No matter what the taste, these bottles always make a drink a little more whimsical.
