Glico may be best known as the maker of the addictive chocolate-covered Pocky sticks, but the confectionery company, which was founded in Osaka more than 100 years ago, also has a vast range of snacks that you probably haven’t heard of. The Glico-ya store, found beneath the company’s big blue billboard, serves as a one-stop shop for edible souvenirs. Popular items include super-sized Pocky as well as candy boxes made in collaboration with popular anime franchises.
