Pocky G received heavy promotion in Japan as being "HARD & RICH," a variation of the original chocolate Pocky. They succeeded in creating a flavor that will replace its predecessor as the favorite of chocolate lovers. Pocky G is coated with top-quality dark, RICH chocolate. Luckily, the chocolate is thin enough that it doesn't become bitter or overwhelming, as dark chocolate often does.

Glico is not kidding about this Pocky's mild cocoa stick being HARD. Pocky G puts any product advertised as crispy to shame. Every bite gives a loud, resounding crunch, and the stick is actually lighter and airier than that of normal Pocky. This works perfectly to offset the heavy flavor of the dark chocolate coating: If the stick were dense, the bitter chocolate likely would be unpleasantly strong.
