November 11 has been designated by “Pocky Day” by the Glico corporation, due to the fact that 11/11 looks like four sticks of Pocky. This year the company has been promoting the special day heavily, with press events in Tokyo and on its website. This year the legendary Yellow Magic Orchestra and Ryuichi Sakamoto are the main spokesmen for Pocky products. It’s a great time to browse the site for some delicious flavors of Pocky and Pretz — click here to browse all our stock.
