Juice Drinks

Juice drinks from Asia come with a sense of fun the Western soft drink aisle rarely matches — marble-sealed ramune, chewy nata de coco bits, and fruit flavours that lean tropical. This collection is the fizzy, fruity corner of the drinks range.

Ramune is the famous one: the Japanese soda sealed with a glass marble you push down to open, as much entertainment as refreshment. Original, melon, strawberry and lychee are all here, and the ritual of popping the marble never stops delighting children. Mogu Mogu takes a different angle — fruit juice drinks with chewy cubes of nata de coco inside, so you drink and chew at once. Grape, pineapple, strawberry, coconut: all oddly moreish.

The rest of the shelf covers sparkling watermelon and melon sodas, sour plum drink — the dark, smoky-sweet Chinese refresher — Bon Bon grape juice with real sacs of fruit, jelly drinks in squeezy pouches, and the Vita range of lemon and chrysanthemum teas that every Hong Kong fridge knows.

Juice drinks keep well in the cupboard and are best served thoroughly chilled or over ice. Everything is delivered UK-wide from our Manchester store, with free delivery on orders over £75. A mixed case of ramune and Mogu Mogu is a guaranteed hit at any gathering.
