Two hexagonal boxes of Koala's March cookies by Lotte stand side by side on an embroidered cloth. The left box is green, the chocolate flavor, and the right one is pink, the strawberry flavor. Both cartons are covered with cheerful cartoon koalas, and the tops show a koala face with the flavor labeled in Japanese. Golden stitched lettering and small yellow and green embroidered flowers decorate the cream-colored fabric beneath them.

    TL;DR

    Koala's March is a delightful Japanese snack featuring adorable koala-shaped cookies filled with a variety of flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, matcha, chocolate-banana, and cream pudding. Each cookie showcases a cute koala outline, adding to their charm. These modern confections have been available since the 1980s and can be found in specialized Japanese markets and online shops in Germany, packaged in a distinctive hexagonal box filled with individual cookies. The packaging further enhances their appeal with illustrations of koalas engaging in various activities and poses, making them a fun treat for everyone.

    Koala's March - adorable koala cookies

    Koala’s March are small cookies filled with a delicious chocolate cream and – of course – shaped like a koala. The outline of a koala is also drawn on each cookie itself. These adorable Japanese sweets are not only available with chocolate but also with strawberry filling, as well as matcha cream, chocolate-banana flavor and custard cream. 

    Koala’s March are not a traditional but a modern sweet – they have only been available for purchase since the 1980s. They are also available in Germany, but not in normal supermarkets, only in special Japanese markets and online shops. Just look for the hexagonal box that contains many individual koala cookies. Especially cute, by the way, is that the koalas on the packaging are depicted doing different things and in different positions!
