I totally thought the product image was AI and did not expect this to look that well

Edit: I bought this in a Korean convenience store. I just took a screenshot from a Japanese website because it was the first pic I found online.

Pretty sure in Japan it's law to make the product appear like it actually does on the packaging. The price was in KRW but the description in Japanese so I'm guessing it's a JP product.
