The Chocolate War

Takenoko no Sato                vs.                   Kinoko no Yama 

Which one is more supreme: Takenoko (Bamboo Shoot) or Kinoko (Mushroom)? That has been the eternal question in the Japanese snack world. Well at least since since 1979 when Meiji Chocolate's Takenoko no Sato (Bamboo Shoot Village) arrived on the scene to challenge its 4-year-old favorite Kinoko no Yama (Mountain of Mushrooms). So heated has been the debate over the merits of these two likable treats, it has led to all out war. When the cocoa powder dust finally settles, who will be the victor? I guess it's all really a matter of taste. So go ahead and decide their fate for yourself and give them both a taste of what they have been dishing out for years.
