Signboard sticker Chocolate

Another of my brother-in-law's cool finds is there bill or signboard sticker chocolates. Like the poop gummy candy of my last post, these are also a lottery type sweet too. "Hazure" for a miss or bad luck, or a prize of a whopping 10 yen if you win the lottery! It is written on the back of the lid of the individually wrapped chocolate.

What I love about these chocolates is the little signboards that come with them. The company call the chocolate "seal" or sticker chocolate, but the miniature signboards that come with the chocolate aren't actually stickers. They are just little pieces of cardboard about 3 x 3 centimeters. The signboards have come in very useful for crafting. And also in my little girls' dolls play. 


The taste unfortunately is - in a word - cheap. It tastes like watered down chocolate. It is very bland with no sweetness. The type of cheap chocolate that would make you sick if you ate too much of it. So we didn't actually eat the chocolate, just hoarded the little signboards for our projects.

Even though the taste isn't great, the signboard sticker chocolate would make a nice souvenir for a kid interested in Japan. They might enjoy receiving some of the uniquely Japanese signboards that come with each chocolate. Also, as they are cheap you could buy a whole box that comes with 100 chocolates and pass them out to your kid's class. 


I've never seen anything like this back home in Ireland. Do you have chocolates like this in your home country where you get a little signboard with each chocolate?
