Ezaki Glico has designated November 11 "Pocky & Pretz Day", and has received certification from the Japan Anniversary Association (representative director: Kiyoshi Kase). Pocky and Pretz are the archetypal stick-based snacks. The shape of these snacks resembles the figure "1", and this event was first organized on November 11 in 1999, the eleventh year of the Japanese Heisei era: 11/11/11.

We set up Pocky & Pretz Days every year to express our gratitude to our customers and to coincide with the fall excursion season.
