Korean Snack Sensation! The Charm of the Familiar Mushroom-Feel Package
Mushroom-shaped Chocolate (Choco Songyi)
Korea, Republic ofSeoul
- Food Travel Log
- This familiar mushroom-themed packaging... could it be a knockoff? Even with my pride, I had to try it. The chocolate had a mild milk flavor but was sweet enough. The cracker's crunchiness was close to the original, and it was delicious, so I let it slide.

- Choco Songyi is a confectionery manufactured and sold by Lotte in Korea, and has an appearance very similar to Japan's "Kinoko no Yama." Since Lotte first began producing chocolate products in Japan in 1968, we can discern a source of inspiration that goes back in time. The snack, shaped like a "mushroom," has been beloved in Korea for over 40 years and continues to be cherished across generations. While there's no special method or unique way to eat it, chilling it slightly in the freezer before eating can enhance the texture of the chocolate, providing an interesting tasting experience. However, the author of this blog, who initially seemed driven by a sense of justice, couldn't resist the allure of the confection for long. Their fingers, quick in action, didn’t lag behind in writing the blog!
