Bizarre Ramune Flavors

http://gastronormous.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ramune-with-marble.jpg
So there is this famous Japanese soda called Ramune.
It is famous for its unique taste and bottle design.

There is a little marble inside that stop the air from going into the soda at first. But when you push it down, it opens the soda!

It has this unique soda taste that American sodas do not have.

But they also come in flavors such as:
1) Pineapple
2) Kiwifruit
3) Melon
4) Strawberry
5) Orange
6) Lychee
7) Blue Hawaii
8) Peach

BUT

They also have these flavors:

1) Kimchi
2) Curry
3) Wasabi
4) Bubble Gum


What other kind of sodas has these flavors?
I think these are pretty bizarre

I mean drinking sweet curry? Or fizzy wasabi or kimchi?

Bubble gum I can understand but I just find the other 3...interesting.

You can find the original fruit flavors in any Japanese produce store. But the others are kind of hard to find. They are mostly sold in Japan since Americans have not acquired that kind of taste yet. But if you go to Japan and want to try it, there is this amazingly huge 10+ story department store all around Tokyo called Tokyu Hands. Most of them are connected to the JR system (above it) so they are pretty easy to find. But I know that Tokyu Hands carry these "other" flavors.
Are you brave enough to try these?
