Finally, a tour of the manufacturing process!

Passing through the air shower, we finally went to see the manufacturing process. The airflow is more than you can imagine. ......

*Usually photography is not allowed inside the factory from here onwards.

To ensure the safety and security of their products

Work uniforms were introduced.

Safety and security features such as "no pockets," "hard-toed safety shoes," and "wearing helmets" are found throughout.

And at Meiji, work uniforms are divided according to the manufacturing process. Processes such as bottle filling and inspection are performed in "dust-free clothing" (right photo), which is even more dust-resistant than Meiji's work uniforms.

Here's the quiz again! what is this blue thing? ?

The correct answer is "adhesive plaster" for factories. Since metal is built in, even if it gets mixed in, it is possible to detect it with the metal sensor during inspection.

All products manufactured at the factory are inspected by this machine to ensure that there is no metal contamination and that they are the right weight.

Products with abnormalities are blown away by the wind in this way and excluded. By the way, at the Aichi factory, there has not been a single case of contamination yet. It's safe!

There is a 70-meter-long aisle where you can observe the production line. The production process you can observe varies from time to time, so please look forward to it! (*Manufacturing lines may not be running depending on production conditions and time.)

At the time of the interview, the R-1 was being manufactured. First of all, "filling" to fill the container. Then, after conducting various inspections, the product is placed in a case.

It seems that 24,000 R-1 can be manufactured in one hour!

It can produce 24,000 bottles of milk per hour and 24,000 cups of yogurt per hour. That's a huge number.

Freshness is the key to milk and dairy products. Speedy production is required to match the time it is lined up in stores. That is why they are working hard to improve productivity.

Places that are difficult to visit directly can be observed using a monitor like this.

Tasting time in the food education room

Finally, you can sample Meiji products in the food education room.

On this day, I received R-1! You can expect the effect of increasing your immunity, so you'll be happy in the cold season. After learning about lactic acid bacteria, I feel like I can realize the effect more. (It is not possible to take it home because it is a refrigerated product.)

Even in the food education room, the staff's masterpieces were lined up.

Actually, how to make these crafts is also introduced on the website. Please try making it. Recommended for children's free research!

Finally, a quick shot with the yogurt fairy, "Yogurie."

It was a factory tour of about 70 minutes, but it was a very satisfying tour! It's no surprise that it ranks high in the factory tour rankings.

The tour guide will explain everything in detail and in an easy-to-understand manner, so parents and children will surely have fun together. Factory tours are available by reservation only. On weekends and summer vacation, the factory tours are often fully booked right after the reservation starts, so be sure to check the schedule as soon as possible!
