Ramune candy is a kind of cool and sour tablet-like candy snacks that is different from candies. It’s also called “Compressed tablet candy”, right? It was created based on rakugan, a traditional Japanese sweet, the main ingredients are sugar (glucose), starch, and sour ingredients such as citric acid. Ramune snacks became widely known in Japan in the late 1940s, shortly after World War II, when they were marketed as a type of dagashi snacks. There are various theories as to the origin of the name “Ramune”, but it is often said to be a corruption of “lemonade”, which was originally a carbonated drink served in a bottle with glass marbles. For many years since the end of World War II, it has been popular as a typical candy snack for children, along with candies and chewing gums. From the 2000s onward, the daily portable tablet snacks boomed in Japan, which led to the creation of an even greater variety of products. In recent years, a number of adult-aimed rum ramune candy products have appeared on the market, especially those that are intended to refresh and prevent bad breath, as well as those that claim to replenish sugar and nutrients for the purpose of brain stimulation. Its name and taste may seem like a candy snack created overseas, but it is a typical original Japanese candy snack.
