Tonari no Totoro? no its the Toppo~

Here is the counter to the pocky. Toppo!

As you can see, the difference with pocky here is that the chocolate is inside biscuit not coated on the outside. So in general these are more thicker than your usual pockys.

Of course being Japan they come with some extra nice flavors.

Heres one with strawberry shortcake chocolate on the inside. This one is once again less tangy than the pocky strawberry so if you like mild strawberry flavored chocolate, this one is definately for you!

So much food you cant see half of it!

Here is some ramen from a local shop.





there so much stuff on top you cant even see the noodles!

... and thats the way it should be!

Waffles > Pancakes like seriously!

I dont know about you, but I think waffles kick the crap out of pancakes. Their texture is more fulfilling to my teeth, because I like most of my food to have a little hardness to it.



Well I found the perfect snack for us fellow waffle lovers!

One side is coated with chocolate.



Of course these aren't real waffles, more like biscuit waffles, but they sure are tasty. These might be the next alternative to fresh baked waffles! Unless you belong to the pancake dark side >=(

I found another pocky yeah!!! *virtual high five*

Well well, it wasnt long before I found another new pocky to digest and photograph.


Introducing the banana cake of chocolate dessert pocky. oh yeah~



This one is much more milder in the tanginess of the strawberry. The banana chocolate is very smooth and feels very much in tune with the regular chocolate. Unless you dont like banana, you owe it to try this one out!

Been busy like whoa!

Been quite busy these past few days... till tomorrow actually. So Im just gonna post up some random pics and you can make your own thoughts about em.

Tis the strawberry season around town.

It was strawberry season recently around here. Usually many restaurants and candy makers will bring out strawberry styled desserts to commemorate. Now pocky already has a normal strawberry flavored version selling year-round. But this here is the special dessert pocky strawberry kind.


For this one, the biscuit is coated with white chocolate decorated with a slight tangy strawberry cream.


Now this one is a whole different pickle. It doesnt taste anything much like chocolate anymore. The tangy citrus like strawberry is very strong, so this one would be only recommended for anybody who likes a lot of zip in their dessert.

Would you like some wine with your pocky?

Next in the dessert series is the Chocolate fromage pocky.


According to the back the stick is coated with a white chocolate mixture of mascalpone cheese and cakecrumbs, decorated with slight bitter chocolate.


Sounds like some fancy shit. and yes once again this series delivers a new taste of goodness. If you dont mind a little tang in your dessert, most likely from the cheese, this could go well with any high-end restaurant dessert menu. Imagine some of these stuck into a ball of ice cream! MMMmmmmmmm getting hungry.....

Pocky for the top hat and monicle you!

So from last we move up a rank and we get some fancy shmancy dandy pocky. This here is the Dessert Pocky series. This one is double chocolate flavor.



They come in these 4 of these fancy packs which has 3 sticks inside each.


These sticks are like double the size of normal pockys.


Eating into one is a whole new world. This isnt really pocky anymore. Its almost like a cake on a stick. So much choclatey goodness! Definetly recommended! 8/10

Put some meat on her man! The anorexic pocky!

Im sure most of you know about one of Japan's most famous candy, the pocky. The choclatey goodness with the biscuit in stick form makes for some nice chomping wherever, whenever. Of course like many things in Japan they have all kinds of these and I shall bring them to you in the pocky series!

Pictured here is the "Extreme Thin" pocky.

These pocky are about half the width of regular pockys.

Here is a comparison to the regular (bottom) and the thin (top)


Its kind of hard to tell in the picture but if you hold one you can really tell the difference. Of course since its thinner, they put alot more into one bag. So if you like to make your snacks last longer and dont mind losing a little volume in what you chew, the super thin pocky might be a good fit for you!

The cherry blossoms are blooming, time for some Sakura Kitkats!

Currently the cherry blossoms around here in Tokyo are blooming nicely. In honor they have released the Sakura green tea kitkat.




There was a Green tea and azuki kitkat earlier but this one doesnt have the azuki in it. So it feels like the green tea is a little less bitter. All in all nothing to go crazy about 6/10
