Mikado is a popular Japanese snack and is manufactured by Glico. It is similar to another product they manufacture called Pocky, although Pocky is a bit harder to get hold of and Mikado is more readily available in places like supermarkets. My local Tesco's stock Mikado, and I have recently spotted it in Poundland, where you can get two 75g packets for £1.00. Product description: "Mikado are ultra thin, crunchy biscuit sticks coated with wonderfully smooth milk chocolate. We've left one end bare so you don't get your fingers sticky. To create this deliciously different snack we were inspired by the game of Mikado, also known as 'pick up sticks'. We ...  Read the complete review

**This review is also on Ciao, under "MonsoonBaby88"** I have been a regular MCM Expo convention goer for the past few years, and I often spend a bit of my cash on the Japanese food stall, buying up Japanese chocolate and treats in particular. One that I am guaranteed to snap up whenever I venture into a convention is Pocky. For those who do not know what this is, Pocky is a thin rectangle box with thin biscuit sticks contained inside.

When studying, I seem to eat so much junk food it's unreal. Literally I can go through a whole packet of biscuits without even realising it! No wonder I seem to have put on weight since starting a year ago! During my stressful exam period this year, Mikado biscuits were one of my snacks of choice and, I am ashamed to say, I would easily eat a pack at a time! So why are they so tempting? *************************** Mikado are quite simple in principle.

The biscuit ...  Read the complete review

In the last 2 month I tried to reduce junk food in my diet to a minimum and this affected also my family as I hardly buy any sweets. Occasionally my hubby goes out to do the shopping and he stocks up several sweets for himself and the kids. Last time they came back with a pack of Mikado milk chocolate coated biscuit sticks and some others, but this time I would like to review only the Mikado. Mikado ------------ Mikado (Emperor of Japan) is a pick-up sticks game originating in Europe. Actually it started its spread from Hungary. I loved to play this game as a kid...
