About

Chocolate-coated pretzel sticks with coarsely broken roasted almonds pressed all over the coating, on a wholemeal biscuit made with almond praline. Almond sits third on the ingredient list, ahead of the milk and the cocoa, and you can taste that, though whether it tastes more of nut or more of chocolate genuinely divides people, and the crunch comes from the nut rather than the biscuit either way. Buy it if you want the nut to be the point; if you want a straightforward chocolate stick, the plain red box is the one you want, not this.

アーモンドクラッシュポッキー: a-mon-do ku-rash-shu pok-kii, the name on the blue box.

What you're getting

  • Two sealed bags in one box. Glico does not publish a stick count. Worth knowing before you buy: the portion is the one thing about this box that disappoints people, because it goes faster than the size of it suggests. The two bags are genuinely useful though: open one, keep one.
  • The crunch is the almond, not the biscuit. Coarse broken pieces rather than a dust, so you get a proper hard bite against the snap of the stick. The chocolate covers most of the stick and leaves the top bare, which is the whole reason Pocky exists.
  • Real chocolate, and a wholemeal stick underneath. Cacao mass (ground cocoa beans) and cocoa butter are both on the list, and the pretzel is made with wholemeal flour and a little almond praline: it has a definite bready, savoury note under the sweetness rather than tasting like a plain sugar biscuit.
  • It divides people on sweetness, and that's worth knowing. The same milk chocolate tastes too sweet to some people and too faint to others, opposite complaints about one coating. Which way it goes depends on what you came for, and there is no consensus to hand you.
  • Try it chilled. Chilling firms the chocolate and sharpens the snap. Handy here for a second reason too: this is a chocolate-coated stick and it is not built for a hot letterbox. Keep it below 28 °C, which is Glico's own instruction.
  • Allergens: contains milk, wheat, soy and almond. No ingredient on the list names the soy: it sits inside an ingredient the list does not break down, so this allergen line is the only place it shows. This is the only Pocky we sell that carries a tree nut. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.

One thing to clear up before you order: this is Almond Crush Pocky, not the Almond Pocky some people remember. That was a different line, sold from 1971 to 2003 with brief revivals in 2009 and 2011, and Japanese buyers mix the two up as often as anyone else does. And this is the Japanese domestic box.

Our guide

How to eat it

Good to know

  • Chill it before you eat it: the chocolate firms up and the snap gets sharper.
  • Open one bag and leave the other sealed. The box goes faster than you expect, and the second bag is the only brake you get.
  • Hold it by the bare end. That is what the uncoated tip is for, and it is why a box passes cleanly from hand to hand.
  • Keep it below 28 °C and out of direct sun. Glico's own instruction, and worth taking seriously through an Australian summer.

What Japanese buyers say

  • This is what got me hooked on Pocky. It's fighting for first or second place among all Pocky for me!

    これはポッキーにハマったきっかけです ポッキーの中でも1位2位を争うくらい好きです！

    from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site

  • The almonds are crunchy — my favourite Pocky! I eat protein bars a lot and love that toasty almond flavour; this is a similar sort of snack and a favourite. Also, freezing it hardens the chocolate and gives a fun crisp snap!

    アーモンドがザクザクで、一番好きなポッキーです！プロテインバーを好んで食べており、アーモンドの香ばしさが好きなのですが、こちらは似たようなお菓子でお気に入りです！また、冷凍しておくことでチョコがかたくなり、パリパリ食感が楽しいです！

    from mognavi

  • Far too little.

    量少な過ぎ

    from monolog, a Japanese review site

  • You get a strong almond aroma, while the fat in the chocolate smooths the tongue just enough not to get in its way. Add Pocky's characteristic crisp snap and there's an elation you can't quite name.

    アーモンドの香りを強く感じる一方で、チョコの油がそれを邪魔しない程度に舌を均してくれる。これにポッキー特有のカリッと食感が加わりなんとも言えない高揚感。

    from mognavi

  • The coarsely broken almonds and the biscuit are crunchy and delicious. The sweet milk chocolate is good too.

    大きめに砕けたアーモンドとビスケットがザクザクして美味しいです。甘いミルクチョコも美味しいです。

    from mognavi

  • The chocolate is sweet and it blurs the almond flavour.

    チョコが甘くてアーモンドの味がぼやけてしまう。

    from monolog

  • Delicious! I want it again! Crunchy almonds and lashings of chocolate, and the pretzel snaps away so lightly that I finished them in no time.

    美味しかった！また食べたい！ざくざくアーモンドとたっぷりチョコかかっていてプレッツェルもポキポキと軽快にあっという間に食べてしまいました。

    from mognavi

  • Almond Crush Pocky — I've loved it since I was a child! My favourite of all the Pocky.

    アーモンドクラッシュポッキー、子供の頃から大好きです！ポッキーの中で一番好き。

    from mognavi

  • There aren't many sticks so the value isn't great, but the chocolate is properly rich and it's very good.

    本数が少なめなので、コスパが良くないけど、チョコレートがしっかり濃厚でとても美味しいです。

    from mognavi

  • Somehow it tastes upmarket — and while I was still savouring that feeling of indulgence, I'd polished off the lot.

    なんか高級な味、贅沢な気分って余韻に浸っているうちにあっという間に完食しちゃいました。

    from mognavi

  • First Almond Crush in a while. Pocky coated in little bits of almond! Crisp and delicious!

    アーモンドクラッシュ久しぶりに食べました。ポッキーにつぶつぶのアーモンドをコーティング！ カリカリしてて美味しかった！

    from mognavi

  • Every time I want chocolate but can't give up almonds either, so I pick this, find the chocolate hit is thin, and end up chasing two hares and catching neither. Learn already!!!

    毎回、ちょこ食べたいけどアーモンドも捨てがたいなと思ってこれ選んでちょこ感薄くて結局二兎逃す的なことしてる 学習しろ！！！

    from monolog

  • Wholemeal pretzel loaded with almond and chocolate, sweet and yummy 🥳 The texture's great too and I can't stop eating them 🤭

    全粒粉プレッツェルにアーモンドとチョコたっぷりで甘くてウマウマ～🥳食感も良いし食べ止まらなくなる～🤭

    from mognavi

  • A colleague gave me some. There were more almonds on them than I expected — lovely.

    同僚からいただきました。思ったよりアーモンドいっぱいついていて、嬉しいです。

    from mognavi

  • So this Pocky exists too. The small quantity is the one snag, I suppose? Well, it tastes good, so that's fine by me!

    こんなポッキーもあったのね。容量が少ないのがたまにきず？まぁ、でも美味しいからOK牧場！

    from mognavi

  • A Pocky finished with gritty, craggy crushed almond 😉 The chocolate tastes milk-chocolate-ish but restrained in sweetness ☺️ The aroma isn't strong — the chocolate has more presence than the almond, I'd say 🤭 It's apparently a wholemeal pretzel, and now you mention it there was a definite pretzel-like wheat flavour.

    きしきし、ゴツゴツなクラッシュアーモンドがほどこされてるポッキーです😉チョコもミルクチョコ風な味ですが、甘さ控えめです☺️香りは強くなく、アーモンドよりはチョコの存在感のほうが強いかな🤭全粒粉プレッツェルらしいですが、そう言われるとプレッツェルのような小麦粉風味しっかりな味がありました

    from mognavi

  • The Pocky underneath is crisp, with a clean snap, and toasty.

    ベースのポッキーはサクッと、ポキッと食感で香ばしく。

    from mognavi

  • It has almonds on it and it's tasty, but the almond stays behind in your mouth, which isn't great.

    アーモンドがついていて、美味しいですが、アーモンドが口の中に残ってイマイチです

The maker

Where it comes from

  • Glico
  • Osaka

Pocky started in 1966, when Glico took one of its Pretz, a savoury biscuit stick it already sold, and dipped it in chocolate. The idea was held up because it made a mess of your fingers, and it worked once someone thought to leave one end bare: the handle you are still holding today.

Almond Crush arrived around 1989 and has stayed in the core range ever since, which for a Pocky variation is unusual. Glico rebuilt it in September 2022: almond praline and wholemeal flour went into the pretzel, so the stick under the chocolate stopped being a neutral carrier and started tasting of something.
