【The Exotic Time Machine (1998)】

We're not quite sure what to think about this.

A Japanese company has come up with a chocolatey mixture that is The Exotic Time Machine (1998)meant to be slathered on rice.

Produced by Kiyoya, the product is aptly called "Chocolate to put on rice", and is a mixture of chocolate and miso, which is a paste made from fermented soy beans.

There are many different kinds of miso, but most of them have a salty taste and are used as condiments, soups, and glazes.

According to news outlet Sora News, the mix -- which resembles a brown sticky glob -- tastes more overwhelmingly of miso than of chocolate, so it might just be a bit of a marketing spin to be selling the product as a "chocolate paste".

The company also recommends for it to be put on bread, pasta, and curry.

We're not quite sure how that's gonna turn out but if you wanna give it a go, you can get them from this online store at $4.40 a jar -- if you live in Japan.

Looks like the rest of us will just have to stick to Nutella. Not that we're complaining.
