Pocky
We may not have been around for this clever drink idea the first time around, but we are totally here for it now.
Special regional-exclusive release uses ingredients from the only sake brewery in the 23 wards of Tokyo.
Maker of Pocky reminds us that life moves fast, but it’s the slow moments that make it beautiful.
A whole new way for one of Japan’s favorite chocolate snacks to look tasty.
Japan’s favorite chocolate pretzel snack is set to add some sweet sophistication to your next occasion to crack open a bottle of red.
This limited-edition flavour tastes just like the matcha you would get at a formal Japanese tea ceremony!
Now there’s a delicious vegetable and two more fruit flavours to add to our Pocky collection.
Known traditionally as “Pocky Day” in Japan, 11 November may become “Good Shopping Day” before long.
Because after a hard day at the office, there’s nothing like unwinding with a glass of bourbon and a chocolate-covered pretzel stick.
