Product information
About
Coconut Pocky: chocolate-coated biscuit sticks with crushed coconut set through the coating, so you get pieces of it rather than just the flavour. The coconut is dry and crisp against the snap of the stick, and the chocolate is on the sweet side. Buy it if you want the coconut to be the point; if coconut is not your thing, this is the wrong box. It is in the chocolate and in the biscuit both.
ココナッツポッキー: koko-nattsu pok-kii.
What you're getting
- Fourteen sticks, seven in each of two sealed bags. Say it plainly, because it is a small box and it goes faster than the size of it suggests. The two bags are the useful part: open one, keep one.
- The coconut is real, and you feel it rather than just taste it. Crushed pieces are set into the chocolate instead of a flavouring, so there is a dry, crisp rasp against the snap of the stick.
- There is coconut in the biscuit too. Glico works coconut powder into a wholemeal stick, so it is not only on the outside. Fair warning: the wholemeal is not something you will notice as a flavour. It is a build detail, not a selling point.
- A summer-only run in Japan. Glico has made it nearly every year since 2012 and stops when the run stops. What is on the shelf is what there is until next summer.
- It will not enjoy a Sydney summer. Glico's instruction is to keep it below 28 °C, and the chocolate is on the outside where the heat reaches first. In warm weather it softens, and a hot-day delivery can arrive softer than it left.
- Allergens: contains milk, wheat and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
Coconut is not classed as a tree nut in Australia or in Japan, and this pack declares no nuts of any kind, but if coconut itself is a problem for you, the ingredient list is printed on the box.

The maker's ingredient list, translated from the Japanese pack. Anything after the break is an additive — the Japanese label lists those separately.

emulsifier, flavouring, raising agent. Contains milk, wheat and soy.

Our guide
How to eat it
- Chill it in the fridge before you eat it, until the chocolate is firm: it hardens to a brittle crunch against the coconut.
- Open one bag and leave the other sealed. Fourteen sticks is not many, and the second bag is the only brake the box gives you.
- 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.

Coconut's been my favourite since childhood; it vanished for a while — so it's a limited edition, is it.

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.
Coconut arrived in 2012, in a set of three flavours launched together with peanut and almond. The other two are long gone; this one has come back nearly every summer since. It was rebuilt somewhere along the way, and the change is the reason to buy the current one: the early version scattered dried coconut over an ordinary pretzel, while the box sold now has the coconut crushed into the chocolate and coconut powder worked into a wholemeal stick.
