Pocky, just like all the other candies in the market, is showing off it’s latest and greatest new flavor: “Tsubu Tsubu Strawberry”. The “Tsubu Tsubu” in the name is a Japanese onomatopoeia referencing the chunks of strawberry flesh in the flavored coating. There was a different “Tsubu Tsubu” Pocky last winter as well as a Kitkat. Each box contains 4 packets of 6 sticks, and opens on the side, which is a new design for Pocky’s boxes.
The coating is beautiful with bright pink and red flecks of strawberry flesh. I’d call this Pocky “normal” type because there’s not a lot of strawberry coating on the stick. What is on there, though, is very flavorful: of sweet and intense strawberry. I found the sticks dry because there’s not a lot of coating to balance out the biscuit. This is better than last year’s “tsubu tsubu” Pocky because last year’s strawberry pieces were so big it hurt your mouth when you ate it. It really scratched the roof of your mouth.
I find I miss the heavier Pocky coating of the mousse and Decorer lines. Yes, I am spoiled. Despite that, this is a really delicious flavor, so try it out before it disappears!

June 9th, 2007 at 7:50 amI saw these in a 7-11 in Taiwan (where I\’m working at my aunt\’s company this summer). There are so many interesting candies to be had here, and cheap too= prices are lower for most thing than in the US. Lucky I\’m a candy addict. 7-11 are everywhere too. Stand outside anywhere and look down the streets-odds are, you\’re guaranteed to see at least one 7-11, if not a \”knockoff\” convenience store (Hi-Life, Family Mart, etc.) They\’re where you go to grab a drink or snack pr if you ran out of some personal product or it\’s an emergency (like it\’s pouring, you\’re getting soaked and you desperately need an umbrella cuz you gotta wait for a bus- umbrella are only 6 bucks for the automatic button extend ones.
