All Reviews of Kinoko no Yama

A classic Meiji snack. The little mushroom shape is really cute, and there's also a bamboo shoot-shaped version. There are subtle differences in texture between the two, though, and if you ask Japanese people which camp they're in (mushroom/bamboo shoot), each has its own loyal supporters! Personally, I still prefer the mushroom shape〜

Meiji's mushroom-shaped chocolates are small and cute, and each one looks like a mini mushroom. Just looking at them makes them appetizing. When you bite into one, the rich, smooth chocolate coating pairs well with the crispy cracker inside. The sweet chocolate and crunchy texture go together nicely. What I like most is that they're bite-sized, making them easy to eat without feeling too heavy.

The super classic Kinoko no Yama.

They look like cute little mushrooms. The caps are rich chocolate, and the stems are crispy biscuit sticks. Each one is bite-sized and doesn’t get your hands messy.

Kinoko no Yama and Takenoko no Sato are often displayed together, so I usually buy both.

Each piece is just the right size for one bite, and it doesn’t leave too many crumbs. It’s super convenient as an afternoon snack.

I pretty much grab a few boxes every time I go to Japan. The mushroom top chocolate is smooth, and the biscuit base is kind of like a shortbread cookie. Overall, it has a nice layered texture.
