Yakult factory

Yakult is a Japanese probiotics company. I inspected the Yakult factory in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture with members of a study group. We got there in 2 hours by car.


I didn't know that people of 23 countries drink Yakult, and especially that Korean people drink more than anywhere else in the world.


There were a lot of belt conveyors, big tanks, and robots in the factory. The products were made almost automatically and hygienically.
The displays were written in Japanese and English, and the animation of the explanation can be viewed in English, Korean, and Chinese as well as Japanese.


The founder of Yakult is Dr. Minoru Shirota. He entered Kyoto Imperial University's School of Medicine in 1921. He proposed that people become healthy and long-lived by the health of the bowel. Lactic acid bacterium of Yakult attracts attention because of the prophylaxis of cancer and infection.


I'm glad to know that the study in Kyoto is helpful for people of the world.
