Japanese probiotic beverage Yakult has opened its first coffee location in Japan’s Utsunomiya, which doubles as a service centre.
The Yakult Gohonmaru Cafe & Gallery, which opened last month, has two levels and includes a beauty salon as well as a gallery.
On the first floor, visitors can try Yakult ice cream, chiffon cakes, and tiramisu with Yakult cream. The upper floor features a beauty salon, which provides facials using cosmetics created from lactic acid bacteria.
The location also contains spaces for Yakult products and a care centre for Yakult staff.
The company also intends to open a second place.
