Morinaga Shibaura Building, where we relocated our head office functions in March 2024, was named “MORINAGA KAKUHAN BASE” in reference to the concept of “kakuhan.” The word “kakuhan” can mean “stir,” “sales expansion,” and “scope expansion,” and the office is intended to be a base where “the power of individuals and organizations are mixed to create and nurture seeds of value and continue to spread them.” The new office has adopted an environmentally friendly design, obtaining ZEB Ready certification.
The entrance hall on the first floor is designed as an evacuation site in the event of a disaster and as a reception space for people, including local businesses and neighbors, who have difficulty returning home.
In addition, as a community interaction for children and adults, KOMOREBI cafe on the first floor can be utilized as an event space. In July and August 2024, Morinaga R&D members delivered the excitement and surprises of food to local residents through workshops on “new challenges.”
