The Launch of & Yogurt's First Event
The renowned Greek yogurt specialty store, & Yogurt, operated by the company iai, is embarking on an exciting journey with its first event pop-up shops. From May 13, 2026, they will set up at Shinjuku Takashimaya, followed by a grand opening at Isetan Shinjuku on May 20.
What is & Yogurt?
& Yogurt specializes in Greek yogurt, which has its roots in Greece. This yogurt is uniquely made using a straining method to eliminate excess whey, resulting in a thick and creamy texture that resembles cream cheese. After advocating for the use of domestically produced yogurt, the store has ensured the yogurt is not just firm but also smooth and pleasant to the palate. The essence of their name, & Yogurt, encapsulates the desire to allow customers to enjoy a delightful combination of yogurts with a variety of ingredients.
Growth and Expansion
Launched in September 2024 in the trendsetting area of Omotesando, & Yogurt quickly gained attention across social media and various media outlets. By July 2025, they celebrated the opening of their second store in Yokohama, solidifying their place in the market. Their Greek yogurt, made with selectively sourced domestic ingredients and carefully strained, provides a rich, creamy taste that has captured the admiration of its customers, offering a truly unique texture that has never been experienced before. It is this acclaim that has led to the brand's first event-based pop-up shop.
