Where glico has pocky, morinaga has koeda! The less common little twig pocky, they have their own belt of flavours too. Sakura, banana chocolate, and white chocolate only for winter. There is also Morinaga Koeda Morning Time which is a cereal twig.
Morinaga Koeda Twinkle White Lemon Chocolate
The princess of them would be the twinkle white lemon flavour! They have 4 coloured chips on the little twigs. Pink, mint green, yellow, and orange. Jeweled colours that one would need.
The little twigs are individually wrapped. There are embroidery of different animals on each packet to pronounce a scene. (The white chocolate has embroidery of different plants on it for winter).
Unlike the pocky, koeda is puff-rice centered, resulting in an aery crunch riddled with hard knobs of sugar for texture. It is covered with cream that tastes like yoghurt, a milder fruity pocky.
Why we can't get enough of pocky/koeda? This is because they always have current designs, dressed like stars that you have to follow up. Your stick can look different on different days.
P.S. Why so many colours? Because the twinkle is always something magnified, just like the star shape is a decagon.
