Happy White Day everyone! Whether you know it or not, today is a day when men who were given chocolate by women on Valentines Day return the favor. So of course Glico has released a set of Decorer Pocky especially for these two love oriented days. Now getting a gift for your special someone is just a convenience store away. How could you resist this classic and convenient treat with it’s pretty box decorated with hearts, to show your affection?
We’re all familiar with Decorer Pocky and these two newcomers are no different in format but are very different in flavor:
Chocolate: The chocolate is flavorful, but not overly so. I was expecting an overload of chocolate because the coating looks so rich and thick. How misleading! Aside from that, it’s a good mild chocolate which is very thick and creamy and melts well in your mouth.
Peach: Tastes of “white peach” that you often find in juice and fruit gummi. It’s very fresh and not artificial tasting at all. The flavor is light, fruity and sweet with floral notes to it. It’s amazing how different the flavor is from the US versions. Very tasty.
I recommend picking these up if you see them, regardless if you’re buying them for yourself, that special someone, or are lucky enough to receive “in thanks” as I did.

I’ve looked on Asian Food Grocer many times, because you keep saying they have Decorer Pocky and I like their prices, but they just don’t have it. Am I possibly missing something, or is it perhaps in the wrong place where I would never think to look? Thanks for your help ;)

I find the Decorer takes a few months to make its way here and it’s always hard to predict when. We list them because they do carry it….eventually….. :)
