It is said that Perry offered \"ramune\" (carbonated lemonade) to officials of the Edo shogunate during negotiations on board.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the ramune was opened, it made a \"bang\", to which a shogunate official exclaimed: \"Well, is this a new type of rifle?\"\u003cbr\u003eAt that time, ramune bottles were fitted with cork stoppers; they therefore had to be stored on their side to prevent the corks from drying out. Furthermore, they had a pointed bottom and were known as \"cucumber-shaped bottles\"; the cork stopper was attached with a wire so that it would not fly off under the pressure of the gas.\u003cbr\u003eThe name \"ramune\" is said to be a dialect word for this lemonade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy are marbles used as stoppers?! \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other carbonated drinks, ramune contains \"marbles\" that act as stoppers.\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when screw caps or crown caps did not yet exist as they do today, cork stoppers were originally used. Later, an Englishman by the name of Cod came up with the idea of using marbles as stoppers.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the \"Codd bottle\".\u003cbr\u003eIt is said that when the patent for the \"Codd bottle\" expired in 1888, a man named Tamakichi Tokunaga, in Osaka, manufactured the first ramune bottle in Japan to use a marble as a stopper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HATAKOSEN CO., LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54111471993165,"sku":"NISHAT008","price":1.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/HAT008.webp?v=1786977918","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/hata-ramune-authentic-strawberry-flavour-lemonade-200-ml","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
