Glico’s latest entry in its never-ending series of Pocky is つぶつぶミックスベリー, or granulated mix berries. The box itself is rather attractive, showing a cornucopia of berries, with a flower thrown in for good measure. I’m assuming this is released in conjunction with Japan’s strawberry season, which has led to way too many bland strawberry products. This one distinguishes itself by adding to the mix blueberries and cranberries.
The granulation part of the name comes from that, mixed in with the flavored coating, there are bits of berries. Aside from feeling grainy, these bits add a really nice texture to the sticks. Five sticks fit in a pack, and four packs fit into the box, which stands out on the shelf, because it sits horizontally rather than vertically.
As you can tell from my earlier Giant Rainbow Pocky review, I am no fan of Pocky flavored with something other than chocolate, or at least incorporating chocolate in some way, but these Pocky really impressed me. They’re sweet without being too sugary. I especially like the inclusion of cranberries. I never eat much of the red fruits, but I can detect them in the mix, souring it just slightly. I can safely say this are my favorite of the non-chocolate Pocky flavors I’ve tried so far. 3/5
