So this winter we saw the return of the Marble Pocky flavors and Reverse Pocky was reborn once again as Pari Po.
Now we've gotten the announcements for the new summer flavors!
http://pocky.jp/products/index.html
Coconut is back of course, but we also get a new flavor. This is the 4th year in a row that Glico has gotten us an exotic summer flavor, last year was Tahitian Vanilla and the year before was pineapple. Now we get Brazillian Pudding!

WTF..... really? Well, I'm interested at least!
Maybe I can get a friend to make me some.

On the other updates, Dessert Pocky has gone over to having Orange and Banana flavors instead of the white and pink versions and they've added blueberry flavor!
The other intriguing thing is the Flower Pocky.
http://pocky.jp/products/kariyazaki/index.html
It's not quite as obvious what is going on here so I would appreciate some translation help from those of you who can actually read kanji.
-
Flower Pocky? Let's see...
Yummy pocky made with plentiful ingrediants for luxurious taste. Please enjoy Crush Pocky.
Almond: something about mild chocolate granules and almonds. Made with plentiful amounts of ingrediants for a luxurious flavor. Please look forward to it.
Rangudoshya? (I suck at figuring out katakana sometimes):
Chrunchy mild chocolate ... and more of the same stuff about ingrediants. Sorry, I can't figure out the key katakana phrase rangudoshyakukii. The last part is likely cookie?
The very first kanji in the bit at the top is not in my dictionary at all. I will take a stab at trying to translate something actualy useful tonight, if no one else gets to it first ;)
-
Well, there are several flavors of CRUSH Pocky. Almond, sugar cookie, and chocolate cookie. These sound like each of the flowers is a different flavor. They all probably have normal cookie sticks and milk chocolate with a different "crushed" ingredient mixed in. However, this theory does not explain the fourth box if each flower has a different flavor. Hmm.
-
It's really hard to see what's going on here. The page for the pink carnation one just blathers on about the fleeting memory of first love and pink being the color of .. I think it says 'the happy times of a woman'. It doesn't use, yanno, any food words.
-
On review there is probably two flowers for each flavor, look at the color of the box tops and compare them to the normal boxes.

I love some of the new pocky flavors

Yeah, the top two flower boxes seem to be almond of some sort, judging by the layout on the front page and the katakana on the box. For the bottom two are the 'rangudoshya' ones.
Oh, but the box on the right in this link: http://pocky.jp/products/crush/index.html says 'rangudoshya'. So, the bottom two are ... whatever that is :)
-
That flavor has bits of crumbled sugar cookie in the chocolate.
rangudoshya
Hmmmm.... I wonder if that's a specific style of cookie.
-
:o
I haven't bought Pocky in a while. That needs to change.
-
I don't think that there is any Pocky that I don't like. It all taste amazing so I'm sure these ones are great too.
-
i wanna try all the flavors..... mmmmm pocky...
my friend got me some green tea pocky and mango pocky for my birthday ^.^ deeelicious!
i wanna make more pocky cupcakes too, with the more unusual flavors >.O it's just a matter of finding those flavors... >.<
-
This reminds Tom, I wanted to show you a picture I took here during KawaiiKon. (photo coming as soon as final paper is done)
Oh, and as far as my pocky search over here, nothing new. In fact, Uwajimaya probably has a much better selection than anything over here.
-
oh my gosh. I'm crazy about flower flavoured desserts!! Now I really want some of that pocky T___T
-
Mmmm that looks so good! I'll have to be on the lookout for those :D
-
I echo what has been said, but especially about the blueberry. Blueberry pocky would probably make me do a somersault or something irregular yet fantastic, lol
-
Well then, <_<
I guess you guys will want to make sure you can make it to the Pocky Club meeting in June then won't you. >_>

So if I go I can try new flavors of Pocky?
-
I wish it wasn't too hot to order pocky online now..I forgot to get it a couple months ago..and it'll melt if I buy it now.. :(
-
There were a ton, ton, ton of boxes of the Blueberry and Brazillian Pudding kinds at a store by my house. No one sells the flower kinds though ;______;
-
blue berry pocky is good stuff
-
Yaaaay new Pocky! ^~^
-
BTW everyone, FUBON Market on East 82nd has a TON of Thai Pocky. Mustash found this out awhile back.
They have Thai versions of Milk, Blueberry, and even Chocolate Banana!
That's right! Chocolate banana! It's not the swirl like in 2005, it's a banana coating on a chocolate stick.
However, since they're all Thai flavors they still have that waxy aftertaste.
Is it worth it? Pick some up and find out!

I've actually had the choco banana one last year. It was meh.
-
I totally went to fubon today and I saw like 3 more different pockys!
I saw like some different boxed original one
I saw Maroon Pocky?
And I saw Giant Chocky?
-
....Hate you Tom...
I was just so excited then I saw you're post...
I saw tons of Thai ones too but I bought Milk and Choco Banana...I don't wanna taste it just yet though...
I bought Giant Chocky...it's meh...but huge...I also got original strawberry and
two panda like things called Kancho!
-
Is Pocky "G" still available, or do they discontinue flavors a lot?
-
Who knows, they do weird things with pocky
-
Pocky G has not been available for years. They discontinue and re-release flavors a lot though, so we may see it again. I'd rather have Pocky G than Gokuboso Pocky.
CHOCKY. GAG. There's a reason the stuff is so cheap.
I'll be bringing the Thai banana to the meeting. I still don't like the waxy aftertaste but the monkey on the box is pretty cute.
-
Pocky makes it like a party :3
-
yeah box of giant chocky i have seen for as little as 3$
box of giant pocky 11-13$
why the differnce? chocky ..tastes like the name, and not to be confused with pocky
-
I still have an empty box of Pocky G. It's the only Pocky box I know I won't throw away. lol
-
Chocky tastes like a high quality crayon.... A RoseArt crayon...
-
lol wow lots of pocky flavors and chocky sounds gross..
-
Yeah Chocky =/= Pocky.
It tastes so gross I've had the giant Chocky before lol
-
why did they even MAKE chocky?
-
why did they even MAKE chocky?
It's the same question as "why do they make Thai Pocky?"
There will always be rip-offs.
-
oh lol apparenty they didn't do a good job.
-
I just got some blueberry pocky today for the first time and will try it later when I am watching anime.

Kahlan and I picked up a box of Blueberry a few days back, and it is goooood. Makes me think of the Grape Ape donut from Voodoo Donut.

Yeah, it actually has a similar taste to their sour/sweet topping on that donut. Slightly grape, slightly blueberry, all delicious, lol

I went to Uwajimiya yesterday and I got Hello Kitty Pocky which is just strawberry pocky, and I got brazilian pudding pocky.
I like the pudding pocky, I saw giant strawberry too.
I wanna go back, I need to buy more pocky!!!

-
they had the blue berry when i went there today it was good
-
POCKY!!!! :D
-
I'm hoping it will be safe!
If they have Brazilian Pudding at Uwajimaya's I'm going to freak out.
I'll freak out even more if it's sold out by the time I get there!

When Brittany and I went there last week (or so) they did have a stock of Brazillian Pudding pocky. We picked some up, but they did at least have some in stock then. So, hopefully they still will.
-
Don't worry Tom
There's a unlimited amount of pocky here o_o
Is it possible to run out, noes!!!!!!!
