Buying Asian biscuits and snacks online is easy, but the range varies considerably in flavour, size, origin and allergen information. Eye-catching packaging doesn’t always tell you what’s inside. If you choose based only on a familiar brand or an appealing picture, you could end up with a small portion, a different flavour from the one you expected, or a product that isn’t suitable for an allergy.
Use this practical guide to compare Japanese snacks, Korean snacks, chocolate biscuits and biscuit sticks based on verifiable product information.
Strawberry flavour doesn’t automatically mean a product contains much strawberry. For example, Meiji Strawberry Chocolate Chocorooms lists 1.0% strawberry powder in its ingredients. Flavourings also contribute to the taste. So don’t just look at the product photo: check the ingredients and description too.
A 160 or 200-gram bag might seem ideal for sharing, but check the portion sizes and how long the product will keep once opened. Smaller packs of 32 to 45 grams are more convenient for journeys or lunchboxes. They also mean the biscuits are less likely to be left open for long and lose their crunch.
According to the product description, Glico Pocky Cookies & Cream contains no artificial colours. This is a claim about one specific product, not a general guarantee for all Pocky varieties. Other products may contain colourings, flavourings or different types of vegetable fats. Compare each variety and check the packaging when your order arrives.
For anyone with an allergy or intolerance, the allergen information is the most important thing to check. Many Asian biscuit sticks and chocolate biscuits contain wheat, milk and soya. Some products may also contain traces of egg, peanuts, nuts or sesame.
Examples from the range:
Online information may vary by market or packaging. Always check the physical label before eating. If you have a severe allergy, “may contain” information is just as relevant as the main ingredients.
Choose a size to suit when you plan to enjoy your snack:
Check the nutritional information per 100 grams too. As is typical of sweet snacks, the products listed tend to be high in carbohydrates and fat. Exact values vary by variety, so compare sugar, saturated fat and salt if that’s important to you.
Japanese snacks, Korean snacks and other imported confectionery can be made in different countries. For example, Franzzi Yogurt Chocolate Cookie lists China as its country of origin, while product information states that Lotte Pepero Choco Cookie Sticks are made in South Korea.
Store biscuits and biscuit sticks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Chocolate coatings may soften in warm conditions or develop a white bloom. According to the product information, this can happen when fats change as temperatures fluctuate. If the packaging is damaged, check the seller’s advice before using the product.
Why it suits this profile: The 36-gram pack is a manageable way to try a Japanese snack with chocolate and strawberry flavour, without buying a large quantity straight away.
The weight and ingredients are clearly listed. The strawberry flavour comes partly from 1.0% strawberry powder and partly from flavouring, so you can adjust your expectations accordingly.
36 grams; a combination of chocolate and strawberry flavours; wheat and milk allergens listed.
Why it suits this profile: The larger pack and six biscuits per pack make this a good choice for coffee at home or sharing with family and friends.
The product information gives the number of biscuits, details of the milk coating and the allergens. This makes it easier to judge the portion size than with a pack that doesn’t provide portion information.
187 grams; crunchy biscuits with a creamy milk filling; white chocolate coating; ideal for sharing.
Why it suits this profile: The compact pack and biscuit stick format are practical for work, studying, travel or a lunchbox.
The product description lists the weight, the cookies-and-cream coating and the presence of wheat, milk and soya. You can check the flavour and allergens before buying.
45 grams; crunchy biscuit sticks; white chocolate with biscuit pieces; easy to take with you and share.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Small packs of around 32 to 45 grams are practical. Try Japanese Pocky, Korean Pepero or a small chocolate wafer. They take up little space and are quicker to finish once opened, helping them keep their texture.
Always read the latest ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging. Look out in particular for wheat, milk, soya, egg, peanuts, nuts and sesame. Ingredients can vary between markets for imported products. Use the online product information to prepare, but rely on the physical label before eating.
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Seal opened packaging carefully. Chocolate and coatings may soften in warm conditions. A dry cupboard is usually suitable; avoid damp places and high temperatures.
