Refreshing Summer Launch! Two-Tone Soda & Pineapple Flavor in Blue and Yellow – 'Sawa Sumeru <Soda & Pineapple>' by Lotte to Hit Nationwide on July 6, 2026

Lotte Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hideki Nakashima) will launch 'Sawa Sumeru <Soda & Pineapple>' on Monday, July 6, 2026, from its 'Sawa' brand line, known for its fine ice particles, smooth texture, and refreshing aftertaste.

This new product features popular summer ramune flavors. Previous 'Sawa' series products, such as 'Sawa 2-Iro Ramune' launched in 2023 and 'Sawa W Ramune' in 2024, received high acclaim for their 'icy cool refreshment perfect for hot summer days,' achieving smash hits over the past five years.

The product is filled using a 'loose swirl' method, allowing consumers to enjoy the two ramune flavors separately or mixed together. This design emphasizes not only visual appeal but also versatility in flavor experience.

The packaging captures the trendy, youthful ramune aesthetic and the refreshing essence of summer, visually evoking the nostalgic 'feeling of that summer' and 'fresh summer vibes' through the Sawa brand.

With summer vibes turned up to full, 'Sawa Sumeru' offers both a visually and taste-wise summer experience, ideal for those seeking refreshment on hot days.
