Start of academic year 2026

As soon as graduation season ends, the new school year begins.

This year, nine fourth-year students have been assigned to the Natural Products Research Lab.

Due to bad weather, we couldn't have our planned cherry blossom viewing party, but we held a pizza party in the lab to welcome the new fourth-year students.

Let's all get along, have fun, and conduct research actively!

As has become customary, I gave lion's mane mushrooms for the new fourth-year students.

However, despite buying up all the stock at the store, I only managed to get six… So, I decided to determine the winners with a "gacha (capsule toy) lottery".

To the six winners, please cook the lion's mane mushrooms and let us know what you feel!

To the three losers, I gave "Kinoko no yama" chocolate. These are delicious too, right?

I've also updated the member list, so please take a look.
