Where To Get Rare Pocky Flavors

by Danny Taing

As you might have read about on our blog before, Pocky Sticks are a beloved Japanese snack. All Pocky consists of crispy, thin biscuit sticks coated on one end with chocolate, strawberry, or, as you will see, other unique and fun flavorings. They can be enjoyed in a wide variety of ways: as a delicious snack all on their own, as a garnish on a dessert dish, or as a stirrer in a drink like hot chocolate! Pocky Sticks first entered the market in 1966 in Japan, and by the 1980s, it caught on so much that more creatively flavored Pocky were being invented.

Listed below are some unique Pocky flavors that can be found at Japanese candy stores and markets. If you keep scrolling, you will also see a tantalizing list of Pocky that are available right here on Bokksu’s very own marketplace!
