The JR Central "Oshi-Tabi" collaboration project, 'The Apothecary's Journey for Two: Osaka Arc,' has been running successfully since April 17th (Fri)! This project allows you to enjoy special moments with Maomao and Jinshi, including special voice-overs and readings available only on the Tokaido Shinkansen, and a sightseeing tour around Osaka.

Starting Thursday, May 14th, new developments will begin, including the distribution of the second round of Shinkansen boarding perks, a "Mini Sticker 2-piece Set," and an update to the exclusive in-train special reading, now featuring "The Food Taster" (excerpt from Volume 1, Chapter 6) read by Takeo Otsuka (voice of Jinshi). Additionally, the long-awaited "'The Apothecary Diaries' Original Novel Cafe" will finally open in Tokyo. You can enjoy official recipes that immerse you in the world of the series, such as the soup Maomao poison-tasted at the garden party and the frozen dessert she made with ice and salt. As a tie-in project, users of the in-train exclusive content will receive a limited novelty item!

Furthermore, a campaign will be held for participants of the in-train content, with a chance to win a "Plushie Set" by lottery.
