Morinaga Aloe Yogurt and Cherry Blossoms

While this might not be the product which comes first to mind, Morinaga suggests eating aloe yogurt while viewing the cherry blossoms. Yogurt with added aloe has long been a best seller for Morinaga and it is associated with skin care and beauty. The package carries the wording "deliciousness which helps maintain beauty" which comes as close as possible to a claim without passing over the line. This package also promises 50% more aloe than in the past.

A new addition to Yamazaki's extremely popular Lunch Pack series is a variety of 4 different stuffings: yakiniku, yaki-soba, egg and potato salad. Very simple idea, but this brand is one of the biggest in Japan - available in every supermarket and convenience store, pretty good and cheap. ランチパック ヤマザキ
