About Kinoko no Yama
Kinoko no Yama, meaning mushroom mountain, is a biscuit stick topped with a chocolate cap, launched in 1975. Its rivalry with the bamboo-shoot-shaped Takenoko no Sato is a long-running joke in Japanese popular culture. Meiji has run public votes between the two products, which generate substantial press coverage each time.
