Regional Flavors Capturing Hokkaido's Essence

The newly released Hokkaido Yogurt Flavor uses Hokkaido-produced milk, while the Yubari Melon Flavor contains Yubari melon juice. The packaging has been redesigned to evoke memories of Hokkaido travels, featuring impressive illustrations of the region's vast landscapes. When placed side by side, the two products create a connected design.
