Ajinomoto AGF Proposes "Cooling Break for Working People" to Refresh the Mind ~ Refresh Your Mood Instantly and Deliciously with "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick ~

Ajinomoto AGF, Inc. (President and Representative Director: Norihito Shimamoto, hereinafter referred to as Ajinomoto AGF) will launch the "Cooling Break Action for Working People" in July 2026, promoting a "Cooling Break for Working People" that refreshes the mind while hydrating, utilizing "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick.

"Blendy®" My Bottle Stick is a stick-type drink for my bottles that can be instantly prepared with water, featuring refreshing teas and other flavors. Since April 2026, we have been broadcasting TV commercials with the tagline "Instantly Prepared, Refreshingly Fragrant My Bottle Tea," conveying the product's ease of use and deliciousness that can instantly brighten one's mood to many customers.

An "Awareness Survey on Hydration" conducted by Ajinomoto AGF last year revealed that while the importance of hydration is widely recognized, many respondents admitted to postponing it due to busyness. Furthermore, this year's "Awareness Survey on Hydration and Rest During Work in Summer" revealed that one in three people are not getting enough rest to reset their mood and refresh themselves due to stress and fatigue during their busy daily work. In recent years, the importance of consciously taking breaks and regulating one's physical and mental state has also been gaining attention, with "cooling breaks" being introduced during sports matches, including soccer.

In light of these circumstances, Ajinomoto AGF will implement the "Cooling Break Action for Working People" as an initiative to promote the incorporation of "Cooling Breaks for Working People" into daily life, which are times to hydrate both the body (hydration) and mind (mood) simultaneously amidst busy daily routines, with "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick.

Through "Blendy®" My Bottle Stick, which can be instantly prepared with water and offers a refreshing fragrance with a single sip to brighten your mood, Ajinomoto AGF will provide opportunities to replenish not only "hydration" but also "mood"*, supporting the mental and physical health of busy working individuals.

* An act proposed by Ajinomoto AGF to refresh the mind through mood-boosting activities.
