Nippon Puffed Rice with Chocolate

Nippon is a well-known German brand of puffed rice treats coated in milk chocolate and cocoa cream. Despite its Japanese-sounding name (which refers to Japan), the product is a quintessential German snack produced by the Hosta Group. It was first introduced to the German market in the 1950s and has since become a staple in the confectionery section of Central European supermarkets.

The product is manufactured in Germany, primarily at Hosta's production facilities in Stimpfach. The brand remains under the ownership of the Hosta Group, a family-owned enterprise that has maintained its independence since its founding. The company is recognized for specializing in chocolate-covered snacks and continues to operate out of its original headquarters in Baden-Württemberg.
