Today May 23rd is " Ribbon Napolin Day ". It is an anniversary established by Pokka Sapporo Food & Beverage last year after the release date of the carbonated drink "Ribbon Napolin".

Ribbon Napolin is a regional carbonated drink that has been loved in Hokkaido for over 100 years. It features a bright orange color and a refreshing sweetness that matches the climate of Hokkaido, and is a favorite product that the author living in Tokyo drinks whenever he has the opportunity.


The Ribbon Napolin is now available as "Sour" this year. It is sold only in Hokkaido from the end of April as "Sapporo Napolin Sour". I really wanted to try it, so I asked a person who happened to visit Hokkaido to buy it.

The clear orange liquid and strong carbonic acid are the ribbon napolin itself. The taste is the same the moment you drink it, but the alcohol will fluffy in your nose later. Ribbon Napolin "for adults"!



The reference retail price is 160 yen (excluding tax). You can buy it at airports, Seicomart, supermarkets, etc.

By the way, the Hokkaido limited "Ribbon Napolin Classic" is also on sale from today. It is said to be a refreshingly flavored carbonated drink that uses "blood orange juice," which is said to have been used when it was released in 1911. This is also worrisome!


The Ribbon Napolin series is a little bulky, but recommended as a slightly "savvy" souvenir. If you are planning a trip or business trip, please check it out.
