I picked up some green tea pocky today. Green tea is the next step up from the innocent, vaguely sexual, lolita, strawberry flavor. It’s tasty but not ‘oh my sweet Jesus’ tasty. There’s a bitterness and a floral flavor of green tea and ice cream. Unfortunately, there’s a rather unpleasant oakiness or fruitiness similar to that found in raisins or dried apricots.

Give me the strawberry, gummi-eraser, Hello-Kitty scented, pocky anyday.
