Glico Philippines, Inc. announced the launch of the new Pocky Sakura in the Philippines
The Sakura Season is coming to the Philippines with our limited-edition Pocky Sakura. You can experience the authentic taste & fragrance of sakura and creamy chocolate in every bite.
Pocky Sakura flavour initially has a slightly aromatic, milky strawberry-like scent. And when you start to chew, the scent of strawberries fades away and the delicate scent lingers in your mouth.
"Sakura" is the cherry blossoms called in Japanese, and it is the Japanese national flower. The main sakura season in Japan is from February to April. When sakura is around in full bloom, many people will have parties near the sakura trees and enjoy beautiful sakura view and food. In Japan, March 27th is "Sakura No Hi, Day of Cherry Blossoms" set by the Japan Cherry Blossom Association in 1992.
Traveling to see the cherry blossoms has been still out of the questions at the moment. However, the spirit of spring lives on in Pocky Sakura.
Pocky Sakura is available at a major retail outlets and online store, Shopee and LAZADA, from 1st March 2021 for a limited time. While stocks last.
"NEW Limited Edition Pocky Sakura brings you the taste of Spring in your favourite Pocky biscuit stick! Savour the taste of smooth, creamy Sakura-flavoured chocolate that comes in a soft pink colour inspired by the beautiful Japanese Sakura flower. Let us try Pocky Sakura and feel Japanese culture!"
