Ne9 — caffeine in a pouch, not a drink
Ne9 is a single-serve pouch of confectionery powder sealed in non-woven fabric. You hold one in your mouth without chewing or swallowing it, then remove it after use. No brewing, no waiting for it to cool, no cup to finish. It is being prepared by MIZUIROWorks for sale as a food product in Japan. It has not launched yet.

How it is used
- Take one pouch from the can
- Hold it in your mouth
- Leave it there — do not chew, do not swallow

No water or equipment is needed. The lid compartment temporarily holds the used pouch until it can be disposed of. Do not handle or use the pouch while driving; stop in a safe place first.
