Exam Student Support Train 'Focused Support Bus'

In addition, the official character of Morinaga Lamne, 'Lamneko,' will visit Fukuoka and perform activities such as offering Lamne to the Daikoku Tenman-gu Shrine. Last year's 'Exam Support Train' This year's image (face wrapping) 'Morinaga Lamne' with 90% glucose is enjoyed in a wide range of situations, not only as a snack, but also when you want to concentrate on work or study or want to relax. It is widely used by exam students and business people who want to concentrate. According to the 'Exam Trend White Paper 2026' published by Studyplus Trend Research Institute, it ranked first as a snack for a break during exam study, and it is highly recommended as a companion for exam study. *Reference: 'Studyplus Co., Ltd.' https://www.trend-lab.studyplus.jp/post/20260324 In this initiative, on October 18 (Sunday), Morinaga will offer 'large Lamne' to students visiting the 'Special Exam Success Prayer Grand Ceremony' held at Daikoku Tenman-gu Shrine (Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture).

The 'Exam Support Train' has been upgraded from last year and will be operated on a limited-time basis.

This year, it will be upgraded from the 'Lamneko' headmark to the 'Shuuchuu' face wrapping, carrying a message of support for students who are about to start their exam studies, and will be operated on a limited-time basis.
