The rules here

What Japan asks of a soda.

A summary for buyers, checked on 12 October 2026. It is not legal advice: your own importer or adviser has the last word.

• Notified before every shipment

  Food imported into Japan for sale is notified to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on each occasion, through a quarantine station at the port. The importer files the notification, and the export team supplies what it needs.

• The label is in Japanese

  Food sold in Japan is labelled in Japanese. The label of an imported food also names its country of origin and its importer.

• A list of permitted additives

  Japan allows in food only the additives on its own lists. Each ingredient of a recipe is checked against them before a first shipment.

• What we say here, and what we do not

  Japan allows a health claim on a food only under its own systems, such as Foods for Specified Health Uses and Foods with Function Claims. So here we say what is in the bottle, 6 g of fibre, and promise nothing about health.

• The bottle's recycling

  Under Japan's Containers and Packaging Recycling Act, a business that imports a drink in a glass bottle shares the cost of recycling it. Small businesses are exempt.

The bottle's name hereRamune takes its name from the English word lemonade, and the bottle reached Japan through the port of Kobe in the 1880s. Goli is the Hindi and Gujarati word for the marble. Ramune, Wikipedia
