Ghana (Katakana: ガーナ, Korean: 가나) is a brand of chocolate manufactured by the Korean company Lotte Confectionery since 1964^[1] and South Korea since 1975.^[2] Its name is a homage to the country Ghana, one of the world's largest exporters of cocoa beans from which chocolate is made. The confectionery has a creamy texture, and is a popular brand in both South Korea and Japan.
