What's Pocky & Pretz Day?
Ezaki Glico has designated November 11 "Pocky & Pretz Day", and has received a certification from the Japan Anniversary Association (representative director: Kiyoshi Kase). Pocky and Pretz are the archetypal stick-based snacks. The shape of these snacks resembles the figure "1", and this event was first organized on November 11 in 1999, the eleventh year of the Japanese Heisei era: 11/11/11.
We also carry Pejoy, a similar looking stick shaped snack with some filling inside the stick. You can also eat it to celebrate the Pocky & Pretz Day!
Our display for Pocky & Pretz Day 2022! Our hand-made Pocky sticks are adorable, aren't they? :) Many of these are currently on sale for a limited time!
