Nope, not a national company. I live in Alabama. The stores are in Hoover, to be exact. Hmmm...I maybe will take some pics of them, if the owners will allow it, and post them. The name of the food store is Tokyo Asian Food. I love it. Speaking of which, I need to make a trip for some soba noodles. They make them fresh and I've been promising I would make some for my friend. The
real Otaku store is called Legion. It has everything. They sell Ramune and other Japanese drinks and snacks, clothing, bags, keychains, cds, dvds, manga, comics, models, roleplaying games, and they even have the only all anime and Japanese film rental in the area. It's great because it is kind of an underground thing. There are no signs. There is no advertisement. You could be standing right outside the door and not even know it. Word passes by mouth alone. Otaku bring other otaku and the business grows. The owner is awesome. He can get you what ever you want or need. His motto is "If I don't have it, tell me and I will order it." It's like a hang out. They have tables for roleplaying or just sitting and talking. Request some music, he'll put it on. They play anime on the tv at the front. Some days I'll just go down, grab a ramune and hang out for a while.
Ok, back to ramune, what I want to know is what is the difference between two flavors. They are both orange or are my tastebuds all screwed up and the lighter colored one is a different flavor? The lighter colored one tastes better.
