Discover the Hidden Charms of "Whey"! "The Blessings of Milk, the Tang of Yogurt, and a Touch of Whey" Event Held at Isetan Shinjuku, Perfect for Early Summer with Refreshing Yogurt.

Isetan Shinjuku will hold the event "The Blessings of Milk, the Tang of Yogurt, and a Touch of Whey" at the Food Collection on the first basement floor of the main building from Wednesday, May 20th to Tuesday, May 26th. In addition to showcasing the charm of yogurt with its refreshing tang perfect for early summer, this event will also highlight the potential of whey, the liquid supernatant produced during the dairy product manufacturing process, delivering a diverse range of flavors from both. We will offer a new culinary experience that allows you to enjoy the full blessings of milk, from the widely beloved yogurt to the still-unknown charms of whey.

What is Whey? It is the liquid that remains after the solidified solids (curd) are removed in the process of making cheese or yogurt from milk. It is rich in proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Besides being added to bread or cookie dough to enhance texture and flavor, it is also used as a cooking ingredient and in beverages.
