LTR Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Jotaro Tani), a subsidiary of CL Holdings Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Junichiro Uchikawa), will open 'The Apothecary Diaries' original novel cafe for a limited time in Tokyo from Thursday, May 14, 2026, and in Osaka from Thursday, May 28, 2026. ■ '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 published at the end of August 2014, and currently, 16 volumes are on sale. The cumulative number of copies issued in the series exceeds 45 million, and production of the third season of the TV anime and a movie version in 2026 has also been decided. This time, LTR has planned a fun theme cafe with a 'cooking' theme where you can fully enjoy the world of 'The Apothecary Diaries'. Inspired by the 'medicine' theme of the work, the menu incorporates the concept of 'medicinal food' from a different perspective than the story, offering a menu that cares for the mind and body. As a concept, it is structured around three categories: 'Warm', 'Clear', and 'Rest'. We have prepared body-friendly photogenic menus with ingenious devices in each item, such as a beef seiro inspired by the episode where Maomao warmed up bodies at the winter garden party, a mushroom and clam seiro inspired by the scene where she showed concern for Jinshi's physical condition and made him take salt, a steamed chicken seiro enjoyed with a citrus-scented sauce, steamed buns with walnuts and pumpkin seeds, honey and berries, and pearl barley and cinnamon, as well as teas focusing on 'Warm', 'Clear', and 'Rest'. In addition, 'Chicken Porridge for Physical Condition Check', 'Ecstatic Poison Tasting Soup', and 'Ice Dessert of Friendship' included in 'The Apothecary Diaries: Maomao's Preparation Book (Recipe)', the first official recipe book of 'The Apothecary Diaries' released on Wednesday, May 13, will appear as 'Story Menus' under official supervision. In addition, original goods and novelties will also be developed. Please refresh your mind and body while immersing yourself in the worldview at 'The Apothecary Diaries' original novel cafe, where you can take a breather for both mind and body.
