Ramune Bottle Tee

ラムネ (ramune): "ramune soda."

Say lemonade with a Japanese accent and you get ramune, which is exactly where the name came from. The bottle came from Britain, where Hiram Codd patented it in the 1870s: the gas in the soda presses a glass marble up against a rubber ring and seals the neck. You open it by pushing the marble down with a little plunger, and it rattles in the neck with every sip. At summer festivals the bottles sit sweating in tubs of ice water.

A blue bottle tips across the back with bubbles streaming out and a red sun behind it. Big ラムネ (ramune), the soda's own name, heads the design; ゴクゴクしゅわぁ (gokugoku shuwā) is the sound of a long gulp, "glug, glug, fizz," and あわあわラムネ (awa-awa ramune) means "bubbly ramune." The chest badge is a red bottle cap.

If you've spent ten minutes trying to get the marble out of the bottle, you'll understand it. Against the washed black the blue glows like ice water, and the soft-washed cotton feels broken in from day one. There's more of that summer in our street food designs.
