Morishita Jintan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Representative Director and President: Yuji Morishita, hereinafter "the Company") will exhibit a booth at the "Gokigen Festa ~ Learn About Gut Health Anyone Can Do ~" hosted by the Osaka University Photonics and Life Engineering Research and Development Center, to be held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at Minoh City Kayano Plaza.

On the day of the event, the Company will showcase and sample its "Choteku" series, which utilizes its proprietary "seamless capsule" technology cultivated over many years. In addition to the Company, researchers and companies involved in gut environment will participate, providing an opportunity to "learn about gut health in a fun way" towards the realization of a pre-symptomatic society.

Event Overview This event is hosted by the Osaka University Photonics and Life Engineering Research and Development Center. This center aims to realize the vision of "a photonics society where each individual shines brightly and lives a healthy life," and is engaged in research and development of devices related to health management, medicine, and food environments based on biological information data, as well as activities for their social implementation. As part of this, they are developing healthcare devices that "visualize" the inside of the body (the state of one's gut) by visualizing gut bacteria, aiming to improve public health awareness. Through lectures and exhibitions at this event, they intend to convey the importance of gut health and contribute to the realization of a pre-symptomatic society, organizing the event with gut bacteria researchers, registered dietitians, and gut health-related companies.

On the day, many fun gut health learning contents are planned, including special stages on gut health by participating companies, lectures by prominent gut bacteria researchers, gut health bingo using gut health words, and a stamp rally.
