Seasonal Soft Serve Ice Cream Mix Ramune

Seasonal Soft Serve Ice Cream Mix Ramune" was first released in 2008 for a limited time only as a product with a summery feel. Since then, it has been released every year as a seasonal summer product, and 2022 will mark its 15th year. The product was created to taste as if the beverage Ramune had been turned into soft-serve ice cream. The concept of "making soft serve ice cream with the charm of Ramune as it is" has remained unchanged for 15 years.

The difficult part of the development process was how to reproduce the unique cool and refreshing feeling of Ramune, a carbonated beverage that bubbles when the glass ball of the bottle is pressed down, in soft serve ice cream. Carbonation cannot be mixed with soft serve ice cream. Lemon juice was used to create the cool, refreshing sensation. The word "Ramune" originally comes from the word "lemonade. Lemonade is a drink made by adding sugar and water to lemon juice. Therefore, when lemon juice was added, a cool and refreshing sensation unique to ramune was obtained.
