I really liked the flavor of these, and if you like vanilla then I think they're a must try. The salt flavor is very subtle, but it gives it a unique element that's different from plain old vanilla. Speaking of the vanilla, the product uses Madagascar vanilla, so it feels like a premium product. I also appreciate that the box contains two individually sealed bags of pocky. It means that it's easy to share with someone else, or even to just save some for later. From a convenience perspective that's a helpful thing!

One of the major downsides to this product is that it's a limited time only thing. I really enjoyed it and would have loved to see it on the regular pocky lineup, but alas, it's not to be. This is the case with many limited-time, seasonal offerings in Japan, so I'm kind of used to it by now -- if you like something you've got to nab it while you can! Other than that, no real complaints about this one for me -- tasty Pocky and a pretty classic flavor choice makes this a winner in my eyes. Keep an eye out for it as I don't know how much longer it will be around for!
