Chocolate

Asian chocolate plays by slightly different rules: less about bars, more about coated, filled and dipped creations from Japan and Korea that have become global favourites. This collection gathers the best of them — Pocky, Choco Pie, Hello Panda, Toppo, Yan Yan and friends.

Pocky is the icon: crisp biscuit sticks coated in chocolate, with the uncoated handle end that makes them dangerously easy to eat by the box. Lotte's Choco Pie — two soft cakes around marshmallow, cloaked in chocolate — is Korea's answer to the wagon wheel and a lunchbox legend. Hello Panda hides chocolate filling inside tiny printed biscuits, Yan Yan gives you breadsticks and a pot of chocolate dip, and Toppo inverts the formula with chocolate inside a pretzel tube.

There are stranger treasures too: Orion's turtle chips in choco churros flavour, fish-shaped choco monaka wafers from Japan, and Oreo flavours you will not find in a British supermarket — matcha, blueberry and raspberry.

Asian chocolate makes a brilliant addition to a grocery order: everything here travels well, keeps well, and works as gifts, party bowls or after-dinner treats. All of it is delivered UK-wide from our Manchester store, with free delivery on orders over £75.
