This locally exclusive chocolate is manufactured and sold by "MARUSHIGE Co., Ltd." based in Osaka. It has gained immense popularity throughout Japan due to extensive media coverage and has become a classic souvenir from Osaka, available only at its directly operated stores, making it a "must-buy in Osaka."

Although it is a sweet treat, its perfectly balanced sweetness pairs well with alcohol. The classic flavor is "Breath Chocolate Kitashinchi," dusted with cocoa powder, while the matcha-flavored "Breath Chocolate Kyoto Uji" is also a popular souvenir. Additionally, there are various flavors, including a milk chocolate version that replaces almonds with milk chocolate balls.
