Ramune (ラムネ) (Japanese pronunciation: [ɾamɯne]) is a Japanese carbonated soft drink. It was introduced in 1884 in Kobe by the Scottish pharmacist Alexander Cameron Sim.[1] Ramune is available in a Codd-neck bottle, a heavy glass bottle whose mouth is sealed by a round marble (instead of a cap) due to the pressure of the carbonated contents.[2][3] The name ramune is derived from a Japanese borrowing of the English word lemonade.[4][5]
