I was initially attracted to this product by the stylish box. It is a blue and yellow box. I then noticed that the product reminded me of dominoes. But when I picked up the box and felt the embossed domino looking text I realized that it was braille. The braille isn't just on the box, its on each of the individual cakes too. That's not something you see everyday, so I was well impressed! The cakes are quite delicious. There is chocolate on the outside and sponge on the inside. In the middle of the sponge there is a layer of marshmallow.

This treat is an import from Korea and the packaging is in Korean and Korean only. I don't read Korean. I may not have bought this product without knowing what it contained. I couldn't even read the name of the product! However, on the back of the box there is a seal stuck on with the information in Japanese. In Japanese "New Lons" is written in katakana. It may actually be "New Longs" in English. I don't know because I couldn't find any official information in English, just one brief Reddit post that spelt it 'Longs' not 'Lons'.
