Panchi (パンチ), known as Panchi! from 1986 to 2007, is an El Kadsreian green-colored, lemon-lime-flavored soft drink invented by Ai Uehara in 1926 and manufactured by Technic Drinks, Inc.

The name is a portmanteau of the word, "pan" and the Jharkhand capital, Ranchi.

History

Inventor Ai Uehara was taking a pharmaceuticals class at the Fusa University in 1926. She spent her free time one day attempting to recreate the Indian Banta soft drink, which she discovered on a trip to Ranchi a year prior.
