Although this steamy drink can be found in several other cities, there is nothing wrong if you stop by to visit the shop as well as the factory.

The location of the shop and factory is also strategic since it is located in the cultural center area of ​​Pekalongan City, Jetayu.

For those of you who know it well, of course visiting and enjoying Oriental Lemonade can be a nostalgia. In Pekalongan itself, Oriental Lemonade is usually one of the treats during Eid, or a light minimum when you are a child. The sensation of freshness is felt even just by looking at the color of the bottle.

At the factory and shop located on Jalan Rajawali Utara Panjang Wetan, you can enjoy various flavors of Oriental Lemonade.

Now, Limun Oriental Cap Nyonya Silhuet is already 1 century. Certainly not an easy journey for Oriental Lemonade to exist until now. This drink, which is often called "Aer Belanda", has experienced ups and downs to survive in the middle of globalization.

Around the 1980s, sales of Limun Oriental decreased because many brands of soft drinks entered Indonesia. We didn't close, but our sales dropped drastically. We only serve local orders,” said the Fifth Generation of Oriental Lemonade Manager, Bernardi.

However, seeing the development of current trends, in 2017 Bernardi also innovated by opening a shop on house. This innovation was warmly welcomed by the young people in Pekalongan who like hanging out. Until the name, Limun Oriental began to exist again and is known as one of the iconic souvenirs from Pekalongan.

To drink the freshness, you don't need to spend so much. For dine-in, you will only be charged Rp. 7,500 per bottle. And if you want to take it home you are only charged Rp. 10,000 per bottle. But for those of you who want to make it a souvenir, you don't need to worry. You can get six bottles for Rp. 60.000 in cardboard packaging. (Nov)
