The koala is an Aussie icon; but since 1984, it has enjoyed fame in Japan’s snack food aisles as the mascot for Lotte’s Koala no March biscuit snack.
While the cookies, each imprinted with a unique illustration of koalas in various dress, is quirky enough on its own, they’ve rarely ventured beyond conventional flavors. But their new, limited-edition cotton candy flavor is a step in the right direction, giving a taste of Japanese summer while the cartoon mammals dress for the occasion.
