Meanwhile, the other type is the Dagashi sugar candy featuring a melty, chalky texture and a refreshing, sweet taste.

The Ramune candy is usually shaped like a tablet or pastille, as you can see from Japan’s most loved Morinaga Ramune (森永ラムネ).

The tablet candy has over 100 years of history and traditionally consists of sugar (dextrose), potato/corn starch, and acidifiers (citric acid).

But today, it is available in many flavors, including fruit ones, and some varieties boast one-of-a-kind characteristics not seen in others,

like this Fue Ramune (フエラムネ) whistle candy.
