Pocky in Chicago?
-
Post #1 - May 27th, 2007, 8:23 pmI'm a fan of the Japanese cookie/candy known as Pocky (by Glico). I like to try flavors other than the original chocolate coating. Can anyone point me toward stores that sell a variety of Pocky flavors? I know it would be easy to find in Arlington Heights, but I'd prefer locations in Chicago. Thanks!

Post #2 - May 27th, 2007, 8:41 pmMost of the Vietnamese stores on Argyle sell pocky. So do some of the stores in Chinatown. I believe Grand Mart has 3 or 4 flavors of pocky last time I looked.When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!

Post #10 - June 6th, 2007, 3:09 pmChicago Foods on Kimball usually has the regular flavors- plain & strawberry- though the previously mentioned Mitsuwa and the other "Japanese Mall" grocery store down the road opened my eyes to multiple varieties of the stuff.
My favorite: "Men's Pocky" which comes in a dark green box and uses bittersweet chocolate.
