There are many kinds of chocolate treats in Japan, where Meiji (明治) is well known for having a large variety of chocolate.

The company has quite a few best-selling snacks and candies, and it also sells an assortment of chocolate products.

The assortment is a kind of sampler. In other words, the amount is small compared to the regular versions.

However, the product can be a nice treat for kids.
