All Reviews of Ryukakusan Direct

Ryukakusan is one of the medicines I always buy when I visit a drugstore in Japan. I usually get the mint or peach flavor. When my throat feels a little dry and itchy, I take one packet with water. It makes my throat feel cool, and after a while, it doesn't feel as uncomfortable. But this is still medicine, so anyone considering buying it should make sure it's suitable for them and avoid taking too much.

Ryukakusan Direct is a popular Japanese throat-care product made with herbal ingredients. The granules dissolve instantly in your mouth and can be taken without water, making them convenient on the go. They provide a cool, soothing sensation and help relieve throat dryness, itchiness, and discomfort from talking or using your voice too much. The flavor is mild and not irritating.

The individual packets are easy to carry, making them handy for work, travel, or changing seasons. They're a popular souvenir from Japan and a useful everyday throat-care essential.

I recently mentioned this campaign to one of the ladies at the company and asked if they had any products they’d recommend, so I’d have something to write about.

She enthusiastically shared that the blue one has a cool minty feel and helps soothe a sore throat, while the pink one is peach-flavored, which makes it taste better and also helps relieve throat discomfort.

At home, though, we don’t use this version. We use the more traditional one that comes in a metal tin. My grandma used to love giving it to me because I often had sore throats. She would use a tiny spoon and pour it right into my mouth, so I actually have a bit of childhood trauma about Ryukakusan lol

A great remedy for the throat, and a must-have in the medicine cabinet.

I always take this whenever my throat feels uncomfortable! I've been buying it for years. A must-buy whenever I go to Japan!!

Because of my chronic bronchitis and cough, Ryukakusan is a must-have for me! It really helps soothe my cough and clear up phlegm.

My throat often feels scratchy, so Ryukakusan is my go-to remedy!

One small packet at a time is just right.

I still think the original Ryukakusan works best!

I have sinusitis, so every winter I get a lot of phlegm. It's embarrassing to cough it up in public. Taking one packet is so convenient and really helps with the phlegm!
