Taste
To the uninitiated, a Poare is a thin wafer stick, a bit like a straw, with the hollow inside filled with a chocolate like substance. This one, a banana custard, was the best of all the Poares and Pockys flavour I've tried, with the exception of black sesame of course. (See my Pocky Ranking). The custard has this sweetness that is very appropriate, and the smell of vanilla really complements the flavour. As always, I love the crunchy outer shell. The only problem is, once you eat one, it's hard to stop until you've finished the whole pack.

Look
All Japanese products come with their cleaver packaging of course, and this one is of no exception. The cardboard box opens to reveal 2 individually sealed foil packages. So not only do they taste great, they look great.

C-factor
We got this 68g pack in Canada, which imported it from Japan, so I guess it's travelled a long way to get to my stomach.
