Pocky Marks.

Just a quickie post tonight. The Glico company has put out a few special runs of Pocky and here is the Halloween edition for you...

I've tried the Pumpkin and it's pretty tasty. I normally don't like the taste of カボチャ (kabocha = Japanese pumpkin) but as a Pocky flavour,
パンプキン, is okay.















Strawberry in Japanese is いちご (ichigo) which is homonymous with the numbers 1 and 5, a source of great amusement for me when teaching about fruit. I don't know what the character is, sort of like a pock-marked, fruity scarecrow thing.














Milk is みるく (miruku) and I suspect it'll taste kind of milky. But the ghost is cute.
