Product Review: Meiji KINOKO NO YAMA Mushroom Shaped Cookies

I'm taking a Japanese class (finally), and I participated in helping advanced students, by pairing up with one of these students, and having them watch me study and participate in class. They only had to watch me study once and they came to my class a few times. These advanced students are learning how to be Japanese teachers, so by studying beginners, they have a better understanding of what beginner students do, and not to get too frustrated with them when they don't know the answer.

Anyway, I participated in this, and at the end, the student who had been my partner gave me these mushroom shaped biscuit and chocolate candy as a thank you. It was such a nice gesture, and I was super excited to try them. I had seen them my mom with them, but I had never bought them before.

They were so delicious. The chocolate was obviously my favorite part. These mushrooms were similar to pocky because they had the same wafer stick, only the mushroom ones were thicker and shorter than pocky. and the chocolate was thicker too. I think I decided I liked them better than pocky just because you could get more of a chocolate taste than pocky.

If you like pocky, you'll like this too, and if you're just looking for a crunchy chocolate snack, this is it. They are so delicious!
