Shirakiku Ramune Yuzu

Its been some time since I had ramune, particularly from Shirakiku. Frankly, I think Shirakiku makes the best ramune drinks. This is a new flavor I haven't seen from them previously. Yuzu is a yellow citrus fruit that resembles a very bumpy, rotund lemon that is popular in Japan. Supposedly, it has floral notes in addition to the tart citrus flavor. 

After the gratifying pop of the marble-closed opening of the Codd-neck bottle, it has a wonderful lemon scent. Strong like a lemon-scented cleaner, but sweet. The taste is pretty unique. It's citrus alright, but very distinct from plain lemon and lime. It has notes of grapefruit and even the slightest tinge of melon. This would make a good pairing with breakfast due to the citrus nature of it.
