❤️Why Tourists Love This

Pretz was Glico's original stick snack, launched before Pocky, and remains a beloved staple across Japan and Asia. Unlike Pocky's chocolate coating, Pretz are pure savory biscuit sticks seasoned with bold, complex flavors. The Salad variety — actually a savory bouillon-and-vegetable seasoning — is the bestselling classic and the flavor most associated with Japanese snacking culture. Japan also offers regional limited edition flavors (Kyoto matcha salt, Kyushu mentaiko, Hokkaido dairy) available nowhere else. The 10-pack is the perfect variety format for sharing or gifting.

📋How to Use in Japan

1. Open one end of the packet

2. Eat straight from the bag — no dipping required

3. Try pairing with Japanese beer or canned highball for an authentic izakaya feel

4. Each bag is individually sealed for freshness

5. The sticks travel well in any bag — perfect snack for day trips and long train rides

What Reviewers Say

Japan's original stick snack and still the best. The Salad variety tastes nothing like salad — it's a complex umami-savory seasoning that's deeply satisfying and very moreish. Far more adult than Pocky. The 10-pack format is ideal for sharing. People who first tried Pretz in Japan come back to Amazon Japan specifically to reorder this.
