People who know me would recognise me as a chocolate lover. However, out of many brands of choc, I would cast my vote to Meiji simply coz it has most novalty in its product development. ^^
Some of the must try products here:
1) Meiji Strawberry Chocolate

It is an addictive combination of sweet strawberry + rich milk choc~ It is purrrfect for any blue day! *hint*
2) Meiji Chocolate Gummy

It comes w/ 2 versions: strawberry gummy or grape gummy centre which i prefer the later. In fact, I ate so much of this now my drawer is completely filled w such cute containers~ *hint*
3) Meiji Coffee Beat

As the name suggest, it is a rich/sweet/aromatic coffee confectionery made cleverly in the shape of chocolate beans = smooth rich choc coffee centre + crispy sweet candy wrapping. *hint*
4) Meltykiss

A v meltish type of cubic choc: strawberry n other centres wrapped w/ milk choc. Surprisingly, it does not melt in ya hand but in the warmth of ya mouth effortlessly~ (guess they did a good job in controlling m.p) *hint*
5) Meiji Pucca

Black chocolate inside chocolatey biscuits in the cute fishie shape! *meow* Taste bittersweet & crispy. *hint*

For this year's Valentine I've given out this: Meiji black + Meiji milk + Meiji Hi Milk. Different level of sweetness to suit diff taste buds. =)

Here are more versions of Meiji chocolate in 63%, 72%, 85%, 86%, 99% cacao content. Meiji is really customer-oriented as one food is never satisfactory for all people aka one man's meat's another man's poison. See, i got ink! ^^

I'm quite in love w/ their black chocolate or any brand of black chocolate. *hint*
Dark chocolate is filled with all the goodies which an antioxidant possesses. While taken frequently, it lowers blood pressure, prevents heart diseases n gives u the high of performing *ahem*. ^^
It might taste bitter initially, esp 99% cacao, which is unbearable for sweet toothies. However, the aftertaste is amazingly bittersweet, as a slight tinge of sweetness slowly envelopes ya taste buds.
Many might not know that Meiji is oso the company to produce Kit Kat in Japan. I like it a lot for its innovative spirit. Kit Kat is the world's #2 chocolate bar after Snicker's. In the UK, Kit Kat is the #1 brand both as a confectionery item and as a biscuit.


Juz a glance at how many diff flavors they could come up with. Some staple flavors include: strawberry, green tea, white + syrup, cafe latte, honeydew, lemon cheesecake, red original + white, white, passionfruit etc up to a few hundred of flavors.
Here is the whole list, yet not exhausive of upcoming ones:

In fact, there are so many different versions sold at selected countries for timed period (limited edition), which further makes it more precious. It is so successful that Kit Kat fans are not only eager to taste it, they oso collect wrappers n participate enthusiastically in Kit Kat trading.

I am so interested to try their wine flavor as I find choc + wine/champaign produce heavenly liquor choc. *hint* I guess this is the only way for me to get drunk as I don't drink! ^^

This is the famous sakura, Japan's national flower. *hint* I heard it is produced during exam period to bring good luck to exam. In fact, Japanese phrase kitto katsu which translates to "You will surely win!" further enhances sales to make Kit Kat the #1 selling chocolate bar in Japan.

This Kit Kat is forever lying in my pencil case. If I were to hand it to u, I guess 99% of u ll start biting it. Then I will start sniggering mercilessly at u till u cry, as it is juz merely an eraser! =P Yes, it is thaaat realistically deceiving.
However, u might realise it is in 4 rows instead of now only 2, in remembrance of the original USA Kit Kat introduced in 1935. I guess they cannot downsize it any further as we need to "take a break" to eat it ma.
Lastly, Meiji is oso the company to come up with biscuit snacks. I guess a lot of us are familiar with the Yam Yam and Hello Panda which accompany our childhood days. *sob*

I would further introduce this pocket snack, Pocky. It is extremely chocolatey n nutty! You ll find it hard to stop at bitting the crispy biscuit stick engulfed with milk choc + super crunchy almond nutzzz. *hint*

I guess when I write abt choc I juz cant seem to end it, esp my beloved Meiji~ Here comes my freq choc attack again. I hope Meiji people do read my post too (if they r busy juz look at the *hint* ll do). Arigato!!! ^^
