WEARING face masks may or may not be necessary on your next cruise – but if you need one, why not try out the latest Japanese innovation, which combines COVID-19 safety with a delicious snack.
The innovation (pictured) is a face mask made out of the country’s famous “melon pan bread” created by Goku No Kimochi The Labo.
The raw materials are being provided by famous Tokyo bread store Melon de Melon, and while they are somewhat quirky the tasty face masks have also undergone certification at Untika Garmentec Research which says the melon pan masks provide equivalent or better protection than conventional face masks.
Unfortunately they’re only available within Japan at this stage – but with a number of cruise lines recently releasing Japanese itineraries, they could be the perfect option for some shoreside shopping.
