A new wellness habit based on traditional Japanese health philosophy is arriving at Natural Lawson, Japan’s unique health-oriented convenience store (known locally as “Konbini”). Starting Tuesday, March 31, 2026, products from “Fun to Me,” a brand developed by major Japanese manufacturer Kracie, will be available at stores across the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The lineup includes “My Maintenance Yojo Soup,” which can be selected according to your physical condition, and the newly introduced small-size “My Maintenance Yojo Tea.” In Japan, there is a traditional concept called “Yojo,” which refers to nurturing the mind and body through daily meals and lifestyle habits. These authentic “Yojo” items, previously available mainly online, can now be easily purchased at convenience stores for just 324 yen ($2.15 / approx. 0.7 lbs including packaging) including tax—less than a single “one-coin” bill.
The Trending Online Brand “Fun to Me” is Now Within Reach!
“Fun to Me” is a wellness brand that offers “Yojo foods” tailored to individual physical and mental balances, along with information for maintaining health. It specifically supports the maintenance habits of busy working women who face unique physical changes and concerns in modern society.
The brand’s most distinctive feature is its personalized experience. By using a smartphone at the store to perform a “Balance State Check,” you can diagnose your current type. Based on the results, you can select the most suitable soup or tea from four different categories.

Here is a detailed look at all eight varieties available at Natural Lawson.
“My Maintenance Yojo Soup” (4 Varieties): Choose Based on Your “Now”
These are freeze-dried soups that are ready just by adding hot water. They feature an authentic taste that combines traditional Japanese “Wakan” (botanical) ingredients with savory “Dashi” (broth). Each is priced at 324 yen ($2.15). You can choose from the following four types based on your mood or physical condition.
1. “Jitsu” Type (Accumulation Tendency): Fun Crunchy Texture
Recommended for those with excess energy or those in high-stress environments. Based on a chicken bone broth, it combines ingredients like turnip, celery, barley, orange peel, and green shiso. The crunchy textures provide a satisfying accent to this fulfilling cup.
2. “Kyo” Type (Deficiency Tendency): Gentle Ginger Aroma
Suitable for those feeling a lack of energy or wishing to maintain their vitality. In addition to crunchy yam and wood ear mushrooms, it contains goji berries, shiitake mushrooms, and Panax ginseng—a traditional Japanese health staple. The aroma of ginger and the savory dashi soak gently into a tired body and mind.
3. “Kan” Type (Cold Tendency): Warming with Hearty Ingredients
A soup designed for those who feel the cold easily or prefer warm food. Featuring a bonito dashi base, it is filled with hearty vegetables like onions, adzuki beans, and pumpkin. It also contains Kudzu (Japanese arrowroot) and spices like fenugreek and nutmeg, providing a warming sensation from the core of the body.
4. “Netsu” Type (Heat Tendency): Refreshing Kelp Dashi Finish
Proposed for those who feel hot easily or tend to prefer cold food. Based on kelp dashi, it features carefully selected healthy ingredients like winter melon, tofu, tomato, white wood ear mushroom, and hijiki seaweed. It is characterized by its fluffy textures and a clean, refreshing aftertaste.
New! “My Maintenance Yojo Tea” (4 Varieties): Convenient 2-Pack Sizes
To coincide with the launch at Natural Lawson, a new “2-teabag pack” has been released for easy trial. Like the soups, each pack is priced at 324 yen ($2.15). All varieties contain the traditional herb “Rafuma” (Apocynum venetum).
1. Slightly Spicy “Kan” Type
A warming tea blend perfect for those who feel the cold. It contains ginger, ginkgo leaf, tangerine peel, and cinnamon (Keihi), featuring a mild aroma and a spicy taste. As it is caffeine-free, it is also ideal for relaxing at night.
2. Cooling “Netsu” Type: Refreshing Sensation
A refreshing blend recommended for those who feel hot. It combines dandelion root, chrysanthemum, peppermint, and honeysuckle, with a cool aroma that sharpens your mood. This is also caffeine-free.
3. Savory and Clear “Shitsu” Type
A savory blend for those concerned about their body’s fluid balance and circulation. It contains pearl barley (Hatomugi), Chinese quince, loquat leaf, and fennel. The relaxing aroma makes it perfect for hydration on days when you feel a bit heavy. This is also caffeine-free.
4. Fragrant Moisture “So” Type
A floral-scented blend for those who tend to feel dry or have a thirsty throat. Based on jasmine tea, it includes chamomile, shell ginger (Getto), and collagen peptides known as a beauty ingredient. The soothing scent supports moisture from within. This variety contains a very low amount of caffeine (0.009g per 100g / approx. 3.5 oz).
A New Standard: Incorporating “Yojo” into Busy Daily Life
“Yojo” is by no means difficult. It is a simple form of self-care: “knowing your current state and eating what suits you.” Kracie’s “Fun to Me” provides this traditional wisdom in the form of freeze-dried soups and teas that fit a modern lifestyle.
Despite the convenience of just adding hot water, the contents use authentic botanical materials to satisfy both the heart and the stomach. Why not take a step toward caring for yourself at a Japanese convenience store?
Sales begin on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, primarily at Natural Lawson stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area. While some stores may not carry the line, be sure to check it out as a new option for daily self-care or when visiting Japan.
