Manna


This is a box of Manna. It is a very popular baby snack in Japan.

It is an interesting name, manna. It is from the bible. God provided Israel in the desert with Manna, a kind of bread from heaven.


Taichiro Morinaga was a Japanese Christian.
He was also a confectioner, or candy maker.
Morinaga chocolate is the 2nd largest chocolate maker in Japan. If you notice the trademark on the upper left corner of the box, you will see that it is an angel.

On the back of the box it tells the story of manna from the bible. Cool, huh? You rarely see a company that puts God above profits.

That's pretty cool! I didn't know Morinaga was Christian. I'll have to look for them.
