Introducing the New Retro-Inspired Chiu Gum Flavors
Lotte Co., Ltd., a renowned snack manufacturer headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to delight gum enthusiasts with the return of its popular retro-themed flavors:
Chiu Gum Ramune and the fresh introduction of
Chiu Gum Cola, both scheduled to hit shelves nationwide on
March 3, 2026. These unique flavors are designed for those moments when concentration is key, whether you're studying, working, or just need a quick pick-me-up throughout the day.
The
Chiu Gum Ramune flavor first emerged in March 2025 and quickly grew in popularity among younger consumers. Its charming retro design and nostalgic appeal resonated so well that the product saw a remarkable shipment success rate of approximately 130% compared to projections. Given its tremendous reception, Lotte is excited to bring back this delightful option for consumers.
Adding to the excitement is the introduction of the
Chiu Gum Cola flavor, carefully selected to match the retro theme established by its counterpart. This new flavor provides a bubbly cola experience that complements the fresh and tangy essence of the Ramune flavor. Both gums are infused with glucose, enhancing the energy-boosting characteristics ideal for times when focus is needed.
Upon chewing, consumers will enjoy an unexpected fizz thanks to the innovative bursting chips that capture the essence of carbonation, providing a truly immersive flavor experience. The menstrual design of the packaging is reminiscent of classic Showa-era posters, featuring vertical layouts with nostalgic motifs that surely will appeal to a wide demographic.
Each pack contains
9 pieces and is set to retail at an estimated price of approximately
151 yen including tax. The open pricing strategy allows retailers to provide competitive pricing in accordance with their own market conditions.
Whether you are on a study break, powering through tasks, or simply looking for something sweet and invigorating, Chiu Gum offers you a momentary escape. The vibrant flavors and unique textures ensure a fun chewing experience while also delivering a boost to your concentration levels.
Head over to your nearest convenience store or supermarket after the launch date to grab your own pack of Chiu Gum Ramune or Chiu Gum Cola. Make the most of your focused moments with Lotte's innovative approach to traditional flavors.
