Lotte Co., Ltd. has announced several seasonal product launches and promotional activities in Japan.

In August 2026, the company scheduled the nationwide release of a Watermelon Gelato Cup, a two-tone dessert featuring watermelon-juice ice and rind-flavored layers. 

Following this, Lotte announced the early September release of ‘Yukimi Daifuku Autumn Otsukimi Style,’ a limited-edition vanilla ice cream wrapped in yellow mochi designed to resemble a full moon. To support this launch, the company will host a three-day experiential event in Tokyo from September 25 to September 27, 2026, featuring moon installations and traditional mochi-pounding activities.
