(Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Junichiro Uchikawa), will open "The Apothecary Diaries" Original Novel Cafe for a limited time, starting May 14, 2026 (Thursday) in Tokyo and May 28, 2026 (Thursday) in Osaka. ■"The Apothecary Diaries" Original Novel Cafe Official Website: https://kusuriya-cafe.ltr-online.com "The Apothecary Diaries" is an original novel published by Imagica Infos Co., Ltd. The first volume was released at the end of August 2014, and currently, 16 volumes are available, with cumulative sales exceeding 45 million copies. The production of the third season of the TV anime and a theatrical film has also been decided for 2026. This time, LTR has planned an enjoyable themed cafe with "cuisine" as its theme, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the world of "The Apothecary Diaries." Inspired by the theme of "medicine" in the work, the menu will feature dishes that incorporate the concept of "medicinal cuisine" from a different perspective than the story, offering menus that care for the mind and body. The concept is structured around three categories: "Warmth," "Purity," and "Comfort." We have prepared body-friendly and photogenic menus, each with unique touches, such as beef steamed in a bamboo steamer inspired by Maomao's episode of warming her body at a winter garden party, mushroom and clam steamed in a bamboo steamer inspired by a scene where Jinshi's health was considered and he was given salt, steamed chicken with citrus-scented sauce, and steamed buns with walnuts and pumpkin seeds, honey and berries, and Job's tears and cinnamon, as well as teas focused on "Warmth," "Purity," and "Comfort." In addition, "Story Menus" such as "Health Check Chicken Porridge," "Ecstatic Poison Tasting Soup," and "Friendship Ice Dessert," which are included in "Maomao's Compounding Book (Recipes)," the first official recipe book for "The Apothecary Diaries" to be released on May 13 (Wednesday), will appear under official supervision. Other original goods and benefits will also be available. Please refresh your mind and body while immersing yourself in the world of "The Apothecary Diaries" Original Novel Cafe, where you can relax both mentally and physically.
