The Phantom Ramune
The 'Rainbow Ramune' sold by Ikoma Seika Honpo, a candy shop in Nara, is a phantom ramune the size of a marble that can only be purchased by those who win a lottery a few times a year.
This topic product was also featured on the TV program "Secret Kenmin Show"*
Applications are accepted only via postcard. Limit of 12 bags per person.
The purchase method starts with applying for the lottery held twice a year using a government postcard. If you win, you will be contacted, and only then can you apply to purchase, which is quite a hurdle....!
Up to 12 bags can be purchased per address, with one bag weighing 750 grams priced at 500 yen ♡
Not just cute. Bubbly melt-in-your-mouth texture**
The pastel rainbow-colored ramune has a wonderful texture that melts in your mouth with a bubbly sensation. The inspiration is surprisingly the Osaka specialty takoyaki, aiming for "crispy outside, gooey inside~ ♡"*
You would be genuinely happy to receive it as a gift ♡
The phantom ramune cannot be bought normally. If you receive a share from the lucky person who won the lottery, you might also feel happy just by receiving it♩
Ikoma Seika Honpo also offers gift boxes with rainbow ramune designs, but wrapping it yourself is recommended*
Thank-you gift wrapping ideas*
Those who are lucky enough to win the lottery sometimes use it as a small gift for weddings ♡ I want to arrange them in a long slender bag to create a gradient♩
The cute appearance, reminiscent of bath bombs, is delightful too ♡
Sophisticated wrapping with ribbons, lace, and original tags*
If you do a tetra wrap and tie it with lace and ribbon, it will look as cute as something sold in a store ♡
Receiving it in a stylish glass jar is also very pleasing♩
Place it in a glass pot bonbonnière*
It seems everyone would joyfully eat it if placed on a candy bar♡
Applications for the phantom rainbow ramune are accepted only until today*
The application must be sent via government postcard between March 23rd to 27th. During this four-day application period, there were more than 140,000 applications last time...!
The probability of obtaining it is 1 in 14!
There were 3,500 winners last time! The phantom ramune from Ikoma Seika that can only be enjoyed by the lucky ones. I want to get it and try it at least once♡
And I would love to share the happiness with everyone ♡ I dream of using it as a thank-you gift for a wedding**
