I heart Yakult.

I'm quite a fans of Yakult. I joined a trip to the Yakult Seremban Factory on Wednesday organized by BSS. Seremban is quite far away from KL as we passed by (as in, saw the signboard by the highway) Cyberjaya, Putrajaya --> Nilai and finally only we reached Seremban.

This, is the Yakult factory in Seremban. Very new, nicely built and it does not look like a factory at all.

There is a small area in the factory which exhibits the different product range of Yakult. Most of them are not sold in Malaysia and are exclusively available in Japan only. I actually never knew that there were such a wide variety of products under Yakult, with very colorful and nice packaging. Quite impressive.

See. So many different kinds of products!

Take a closer look at them.

They even have: Yakult noodles. W-o-w.

Pharmaceutical products.

And even cosmetics!!!

Well, these are just part of them. There are many many more. Besides, the different packaging of Yakult in different countries are also exhibited.

Yakult in Singapore even have a few flavors for the consumer to choose from.

And many many more la..

This is the very pretty lady, Ms. Chew who guided us throughout our visit to the factory. She provided us with very detailed explanation on the production of Yakult.

Seed tank which contained bacteria inside. Imported from Japan.

The production line.

Contains Yakult ready to be filled into the little plastic bottle.

This is the machine which produce the bottles.

They have a clean room and a QC department for some microbiology work.

Last step: Packaging.

Then we were brought to a hall, where even more detailed explanation on How Yakult Works was provided. We were just like attending a Microbiology lecture outside the campus. Very interesting. Laugh.
