First and foremost, I bought it for the heart shaped sticks for a Valentine's treat. They did not disappoint. The "Pocky Heartful" range all of this shape of stick. The blueberry flavor was nice for a change, and very colorful to look at. They pitch them as a happiness boost and it’s positioned as a fun, slightly special twist on classic Pocky. The package contains 2 small bags of Pocky so you can eat it in stages and / or share it with someone special! Currently they are on sale in Welcia at just 178 yen - until March 1st. I don't know how much they are usually, but I was drawn to the price and may not have bought them if they were not on special offer.

As a limited edition they won't always be available. Moreover, I don't know until when you can find them on the shelves. They were nice enough, but I prefer either the chocolate or strawberry flavors of Pocky. My children felt the same way too. The blueberry coating is sweet and fruity, but it may feel a little light or mild for people who prefer a stronger berry flavor. Because the sticks are heart‑shaped and slightly thinner than regular Pocky, they can be a bit more fragile and break more easily in the bag. Overall, I liked this product, but not enough to choose it over chocolate or strawberry Pocky in the future.
