Japanese Glico Factory in Japan. If you love the Japanese stick sweets called Pocky or also called Mikado Sticks you will be surprised what you will see during this Pocky factory tour in Japan. The Japanese sweets factory is called Glicopia and they produce two types of Glico snacks: Pocky and the savory version Pretz. Come along with me and find out more about Japan's most world wide famous snack that even made it into the Guinness Book of World records.

Hello guys! We also made a video about "DO JAPANESE THING"!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oOBif7KK39-zm6M.html And what JAPANEWSE product do you want to see like this? Please let us know your idea!!

Please do a video on Cup Noodles! Most KZfaq videos only get to the public side of the cup noodles museum, if you could go behind the scenes like this video, that would be すごい！

Please ask Kawai if they would show Cathy around their factory in Ryuyo. That factory is incredible. The latest technology combined with traditional craftsmanship results in some of the best pianos in the world. Ask to see how they make the famous hand-made Shigeru pianos named after the founder’s grandson who made some major innovations. I’m sure that not only AskJapanese subscribers would be interested but you would draw in a whole new audience. Watch James May’s tour of Yamaha for some ideas including attempting to wind the copper onto the bass strings. I’d love to see Cathy try that. What do you think?

It is so weird how common Pocky has become in the US. Huge pallets of Pocky at Costco, and every Walmart carries Pocky, usually several flavors. Regular grocery stores have it. I forget where I was, but I saw just some random parent with their child and the kid was eating Pocky and thinking nothing of it. Hi-Chew is also spreading like fire. Even stores like Family Dollar carry Hi-Chew now and sell out. Crazy world. And tasty!

@hoodmistressreloaded 5 ай бұрын

You're right on it being tasty. In my neck of the woods, one can even find Pocky at local liquor stores and some gas stations (just like Hi-Chew). Even smaller stores like Grocery Outlet carry Pocky and practically sell them for chump change 😋

This makese so hungry. Love seeing how Pocky is made. I had no idea they made it sweeter for the usa. I've had pocky in Japan and the USA and never noticed, but I also ate them not together and several months apart. I have not tried pretz but I would like to if i get the chance. I'll have to look at my local Asian grocery and the grocery stores here what sell Pocky and see if they carry pretz.

That would be awesome. Thank you so much for such an interesting video. 👏👏👏

I go to the Asian store or the Japanese food store to buy pocky. I like them with less sugar and they are usually the ones sold in Japan with labels glued to the Box in English. But occasionally we have found Pocky made in Indonesia or in Vietnam at the Asian store. My favorite are the thin Pocky with a dark chocolate! Many people in the United States call them "puck-ee" or "poke-ee".

factory visit is always fun because we can get sample product at the end of the tour lol anw I remember trying pocky because of one of Harlem Beat manga character (i forget the character name) but it wasnt special, like, it doesnt make me want to eat it again n again, maybe because i prefer salty snack instead of sweet one, so yeah that is the first n last time i try pocky now pretz, that sounds interesting, she said its salty

Nothing against thailand as I am sure they make it just as well as in japan, but I wanted it to be part of theme basket of made in japan stuff. Had to skip it for this basket. This was a japanese grocery chain in the us, Mitsuwa.

I noticed when you started the pretzel segment the music we hear is the signature songs of the U.S. military. Is that played in the factory or was that added by your editors? Why use this music? As a U.S. Marine who spent over 13 1/2 years in and attained the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) I am mixed on this. I am glad others know our music but uncertain on how it relates to a factory in Japan. Can you please explain?

@steemlenn8797 2 жыл бұрын

They probably didn't know that the music was used by the US military. You mean around 11:30? Director-san oftne uses classic music (as earlier in this video) and that one probably was just one more song.
