Developer Comment
Mayuko Hattori, Chocolate Planning Division, Marketing Headquarters, LOTTE
Since its launch in 1965, Rummy has been a symbol of adult chocolate alongside Bacchus, loved by many customers for over 60 years. Last year, Bacchus celebrated its 60th anniversary, and we developed Rakkus to express our gratitude to fans who cherish both products. Rakkus combines Bacchus' specially formulated smooth milk chocolate, carefully balanced in cocoa intensity and sweetness to highlight the liquor center, with Rummy's rum, allowing you to enjoy the best of both at the same time.
Interestingly, about half of Rummy fans don't typically drink alcohol. For these fans, we've added raisin extract to the rum to create a mellow, aromatic flavor that can be easily enjoyed in Bacchus' format. Please savor this limited-time deliciousness while comparing it with both Rummy and Bacchus.
