Pocky Strawberry is the gateway snack. The one that gets handed to first-time visitors to Japan with a knowing smile, and the one those visitors are quietly ordering online six months later from their home country at considerable shipping expense. The pink coating delivers a sweet, fruity strawberry flavour that sits somewhere between real strawberry and the platonic ideal of what strawberry should taste like. It is unapologetically artificial and completely irresistible.
The format is, of course, part of the genius. The uncoated biscuit end gives you something to hold, which Glico will tell you is practical and you will discover is actually just a mechanism to get the next one into your hand faster. Share them, don't share them, eat them one at a time or four at once. There is no wrong way. There is only the inevitable moment where you are holding an empty box and wondering when that happened.

Thin biscuit sticks coated in sweet strawberry-flavoured chocolate. Pastel pink, impossibly cute, and gone before you realise you've eaten the whole box.
Delicious and full of flavour!
I would absolutely order these again. Having only tried the chocolate variant of the pocky sticks previously, i think i have found a new favorite.
