Mikado
Mikado is the European name for the chocolate-coated biscuit stick that the Japanese confectioner Ezaki Glico sells as Pocky, and it arrived in Europe in 1982. We stock the Milk Chocolate Biscuits, thin crunchy sticks with a bare end to hold, because they are the sharing snack that works where a round biscuit does not: at a desk, in front of a film or passed round a table without sticky fingers.

About Mikado
Mikado is the European name for the chocolate-coated biscuit stick that Japanese confectioner Ezaki Glico sells as Pocky. Mikado arrived in Europe in 1982 through Générale Biscuit Glico France, a joint venture between Glico and the French maker Générale Biscuit, with production starting at the Cestas factory near Bordeaux. The name comes from the pick-up sticks game the biscuits resemble, and the brand is now part of Mondelēz International.
Mikado suits the afternoon slump and the film night more than the formal tea tray. Given where the idea started, try a Japanese green tea: a sencha or a toasty genmaicha keeps the milk chocolate light. For a milky cup, a malty Assam holds its own, and a short espresso does the same for coffee drinkers.
