    ah... that's where the problem begins..
    Pocky's are Japanese and generally have to be imported - when I was a student was where I found them, my old union shop had an Asian section and bought them over. Basically, they're the same but with different coatings and not just (what I think is sickly compared to the chocolate used on Pocky) milk chocolate, but other flavours like strawberry, banana, coffee, green tea and dark chocolate to name but a few.. really really nice and a lot lighter than this Mikado is :D

    they work out more expensive than Mikado but I'd definitely pay that over these personally :)
