The treats are a recreation of the Hokusai postcards that feature the iconic white-capped mountain as the main illustration. The mountain's infamous structure and aesthetic is then completely recreated to miniature scale using chocolate goodies. The chocolates are feature a design that is lifelike and to scale, measuring in at 180,000:1 to capture the mount in its entirety. The chocolates feature a wide circular base complete with a pointed summit made from white chocolate. The base is available in either a milk or [matcha chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matcha-chocolate-bar) flavoring. Each miniature mountain comes with a copy of the Hokusai postcard that its design was inspired by.
