Most Japanese people hate the taste of root beer (WHY?) so if it’s a hella hot day in Tokyo and you’re craving a root beer float, a soda topped with soft serve (and blasphemously adulterated with ice cubes) is about as close as you’re going to get.
But how close is it? Well…
The blue flavor is
Ramune
(Japan’s earliest take on the exotic western flavor called “lemonade”)
The yellow flavor is
Pineapple
The green flavor is
Melon
(which tastes nothing like real melons, but is one of the iconic flavors of Japanese childhood)
The red flavor is
Watermelon
And the white flavor is
White Peach
