On October 7th, actress Ayase Haruka attended the opening ceremony of Ezaki Glico's facilities for a factory tour 'Glicopia East' in Kitamoto, Saitama.

Ayase wore a red one-piece dress for the event and greeted all the persons present, "Starting with the Kitamoto residents, I hope there will be a lot of people who come here and see how sweets are made." She added, "I'm praying that sweets will receive even more love from now."

Aside from the officials and the special guest Ayase, Glico also invited the local primary school students to be the first children to enjoy the factory tour. Of course Ayase had enjoyed it just as much as the children and ate some freshly made PRETZ together with them. She commented, "It was so good. You could taste that it was just made and the saltiness was just perfect. I was also surprised how fast the finished sweets get wrapped up and put in the box."

The factory also comes with a little museum where you can learn about the history of Glico and their famous products, including all those little freebies they tend to add to some of their products for the children. Ayase was in a daze and stated, "They are all so cute. I also collected some of them myself, like that wooden car and so on."

She wrapped up the event and said, "It's exciting to come here, since you usually don't see how sweets are made. There are also games you can play and chances to learn more about sweets in general. You certainly have to come here and experience how all those Glico sweets are made!"

'Glicopia East' is going to open on October 8th. It doesn't request an entrance fee and people can subscribe for a tour via Internet or telephone.
