Talk:Ramune

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unless someone can support the claim with some kind of figures, I am removing the word "popular" from the opening. Based on my experience in Japan there is little evidence that anyone drinks it, as it is not widely available compared to other beverages (e.g. coffee, Coke, tea, etc) in Japan. Indeed, few people even seem to know what it is when I mention it. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 09:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, although a history of the name is provided, a standard pronunciation is not. I am not linguistically skilled enough to do this. Ztras 03:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

It is popular in Japan, trust me. But more popular in 'festival' periods. Especially Summer. You can buy it year-round at certain tiny marts near the big touristy temples, and (at least as of last month) in the 'ice cream & hot dog' stand to the left of the cafe at the Studio Ghibili Museum in Mitaka.
