The description

Glico Confectionery's perennial Pocky brand of chocolate-coated treats produces Welcome Pocky. The most recent campaign has four versions. This time I tried Strawberry Pocky "Future Reunion".


The good

This version of Welcome Pocky is a nice gift for new recruits and recently inducted students. coincide with the start of a new life season. The spring 2026 version of Welcome Pocky has four versions - extra-thin, 60% cacao, starwberry, and almond crush. I went for the strawberry version. Each box has two foil packets of the crispy chocolate covered sticks. They were a hit with visitors from abroad at my local pub. I brought them along as a novelty. Everybody liked the strawberry-infused chocolate and crisp snap.


The not so good

I learn something new every day from reading package labels. This item in the Welcome Pocky series is aimed at people starting a new chapter in their lives, either in careers or schools. It's fun for the camera design on the back, and the delicious straberry-flavoured chocolate. Everybody in my party of Gen X people loved it. But it's reallly aimed at young people. Inside the cardboard box is a QR code for an app. Scan the QR code, access the app, upload a photo of your new workmates or classmates, and the AI will show you your reunion photo.
