Village Vanguard "Kyo-Ramune that goes well with tea

The online store of Village Vanguard is selling "Kyoto Ramune that goes well with tea" in the shape of a cute and colorful cat's paw. 14 pieces are sold for 756 yen (tax included). They are produced in Kyoto, Japan.

In general, candy ramune sold in the market is made of sugar, cornstarch, or glucose. On the other hand, "Kyo-Ramune that goes well with tea" is made with high-grade wasanbon from Tokushima Prefecture and kuzu powder from Yoshino-Kuzu in Nara Prefecture, resulting in an elegant taste with less acidity and a soft sweetness that melts smoothly in the mouth.


There are five flavors: peach, yuzu, green apple, blueberry, and onshu mandarin. They are closer to the image of Japanese sweets than candy, and go well with Japanese tea and other teas.

The package is made of Yuzen washi paper, which is gentle to the touch. It is a box that fits perfectly in the palm of one's hand, and the character of a tea seller wearing a kimono is adorable. It would make a nice little gift.
