Meiji Chelsea

The team researched various kinds of treats from many countries and reached butterscotch from Scotland.
Based on that Scotch candy, Meiji made Chelsea into a product. For that, the company also adopted a bold, sophisticated package design, which was unprecedented.
Flavors
Meiji Chelsea comes in 3 flavors; From the left, Yogurtscotch, Butterscotch, and Coffeescotch, whose taste is somewhat different from the original enjoyed in Scotland.
