It's solid, but once you bite into it, it melts in your mouth. Tastes like ramune indeed! As someone mentioned before me, it's chalky when you bite it, then gives a sudden freshness in your mouth as it melts so it feels like there's ramune in your mouth. I like how you can put the lid back on so you don't have to eat the whole bottle in one sitting. I think a lot of Japanese snacks have resealable packaging and I appreciate that a lot because it shows the manufacturers have thought of the convenience of the consumer when they don't want to finish everything in one go and save the rest for later.
