The News

  • Yo-Kai Express provided a first-look yesterday of Yatai, the company’s self-driving, mobile hot ramen vending machine. Yo-Kai posted a video on TikTok and company CEO Andy Lin posted some very light details on Linkedin.

  • The Yatai was initially supposed to arrive in North America last November, but apparently was pushed to now. It is debuting as part of Microsoft’s Innovation Summit.

  • Lin said the Yatai will officially premiere at a Super Bowl pre-party in LA on Feb. 12.

The Story

The Yatai could mark an evolutionary step not just in vending machines, but mobile commerce overall.
