Product information
About
A 180 g pouch of ramune-flavoured jelly you drink through the spout rather than spoon. Ramune here is the flavour, not the fizz: it tastes like the chalky lemon-lime sweet rather than the marble-stoppered soda, and it is sweet, clean and thinner than you would expect a jelly to be. This is the teal pouch in Morinaga's in Jelly range.
On the pack: inใผใชใผ ใจใใซใฎใผใใใฆ็ณ (in zerii enerugii budoutou). One word is worth decoding before you order. Budoutou looks and sounds as though it ought to mean grape, and it doesn't. It means glucose. There is no fruit juice in this pouch at all.
What you're getting
- Ramune flavour, which in Japan means the lemon-lime taste shared by a soda and a chalky pressed sweet. Several Japanese drinkers call it their favourite in the whole in Jelly range; one describes it simply as tasting like eating ramune sweets.
- Not carbonated. There is no fizz in it at all. If you were expecting the soda in jelly form, this isn't that.
- Set with agar, so it runs looser than the muscat Energy pouch in the same range, which uses a thicker base, and it drinks more than it chews. One person describes the feel as sitting exactly midway between drinking and eating: you're drinking it, but your stomach registers food.
- The honest caveat, and there are two. It is sweet: glucose is the main ingredient and too sweet is the most common complaint Japanese drinkers make about it. And some drinkers report it makes them drowsy, so try one on an ordinary day before you rely on it when you need to stay alert.
- Allergens: Morinaga declares none of Japan's twenty-eight named allergen categories in this product, gelatine included. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
If you're choosing between pouches: the blue one is the standard Energy, muscat-flavoured, and this teal one is the glucose one.
If you have wondered what that bottle with the marble in the neck actually is, our guide Ramune: the Japanese soda with a marble stuck in the bottle explains it.

Our guide
How to eat it
Good to know
- Drink it cold: at room temperature it can taste very sweet.
- Some people freeze it and take it out with them. Morinaga says freezing leaves the nutrition broadly intact but ruins the jelly texture, which does not come back when it thaws, so only do it if a slush is what you want.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat. It is built for the cupboard, though the fridge is where it tastes best.

This time I drank it at room temperature because my stomach was off, and maybe that's why it felt quite sweet. Chilled might be easier to drink.

The jelly texture sits exactly midway between drinking and eating โ you're drinking it, but it feels like putting food into your stomach, so it fills you up.

The maker
Where it comes from
- Morinaga
- Tokyo
- Founded 1899
Morinaga has been making sweets since 1899: the company was founded on 15 August that year, and its head office is in Tokyo. The first in Jelly pouch shipped on 1 February 1994 under the name Weider in Jelly; the brand dropped that name in March 2018 and became simply in Jelly.
This one is recent: it launched on 29 September 2020, and the current pack dates from April 2025. It has a neat piece of company logic behind it: Morinaga's own ramune sweets are around ninety per cent glucose. This pouch is that same glucose in drinkable form, which is why it carries the sweets' flavour rather than a fruit one.
