Rank Up Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Yumiko Iwasaki), which develops and sells popular original cosmetic brand "Manara" celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, and Hitotoito Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takuzo Yamamoto), which operates "Bread Espresso and," are expanding the offering of their first collaboration menu, "JABARA and Frozen Greek Yogurt with Orange and Apricot Caramel Sauce," due to popular demand. The sweets will be available starting from the grand opening of the new store "Kato Ima Nakanoshima Library" (囲と囲曲 中之島図書館) located within the Nakanoshima Library in Osaka on April 3rd, 2026 (Friday). This expansion brings the total number of "Bread Espresso" affiliated stores offering the collaboration to 9 nationwide. ■ About the Collaboration Menu The "JABARA and Frozen Greek Yogurt with Orange and Apricot Caramel Sauce," born from this cross-industry collaboration, is an original menu themed around "eat, enjoy, and harmonize" as a new spring/summer self-care experience combining food and skincare. It uses Jabara, Greek yogurt, blood orange, and apricot as a "beauty sweet" to support vitamin intake during this season when skin condition can be a concern due to sunlight and environmental changes. The rich Greek yogurt base, which also provides protein, is enhanced with finely chopped Jabara, a rare Japanese citrus known for its vitamin C content and benefits for seasonal discomforts, adding a fruity texture. The sauce, inspired by Manara's Hot Cleansing Gel, features a fragrant caramel with a refreshing accent of orange and apricot acidity, creating a subtly sweet and refreshing taste. This collaboration sweet can be enjoyed in two forms: "gelato" and "shake." Additionally, the first 2,000 customers who order this menu will receive a complimentary trial pack of 3 sachets of "Manara Hot Cleansing Gel Massage Plus." Please take this opportunity to enjoy a new spring/summer beauty experience with sweets and Manara's Hot Cleansing Gel. ※This product is food and does not substitute the efficacy and effects of pharmaceuticals or cosmetics. ■ About the Additional Store "Kato Ima Nakanoshima Library" The newly added store, "Kato Ima Nakanoshima Library," is a new establishment in the "Bread Espresso and" series, celebrating its grand opening on April 3rd (Friday).
