{"product_id":"glico-pocky-salted-caramel-winter","title":"Glico Salted Caramel Pocky — Winter Edition, 2 Packs","description":"\u003cp\u003eA winter-only Pocky: buttery caramel chocolate over the biscuit stick, with fine grains of salt scattered across the surface. It is sweet and rich, and the salt is what keeps it from being too much. Buy it if you like salted caramel; if you want the clean snap of the plain red box, this one is a good deal richer than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e冬のきらめきポッキー: \u003cem\u003efuyu no kirameki\u003c\/em\u003e, \"winter sparkle\". The sparkle is the salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou can see the salt.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine grains sit on the surface and catch the light. Every so often you bite one and get a small crunch of salt against the caramel, which is a different thing from a sweet that is merely salted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThere is real butter in it, and you can taste it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Browned butter goes into both the chocolate and the biscuit, at just under one per cent of the coating. What comes through when you eat it is butter rather than anything specifically browned: worth knowing so you are not hunting for a flavour that does not arrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRicher than the plain red box.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is Pocky as a treat rather than a snack. A whole bag in one go is a lot of sweet caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA winter-only run in Japan.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made for the season and not restocked after it. What is here is what there is until next winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt will not enjoy a Sydney summer.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: contains \u003cstrong\u003emilk, wheat and soy\u003c\/strong\u003e. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlico sells two winter Pocky side by side and they are easy to mix up, which matters for one reason: if you go looking, you will find news of a Glico recall of a winter Pocky in Japan in December 2025. That was the other one, the cocoa-dusted Fuyu no Kuchidoke.
