    Tourists best know Konbiniya Japan Centre as the "Pocky Store" - perhaps because of the large box of Pocky on their storefront. Drop in at this hipster Robson Street retailer for snacks from Japan. Read more

    Fun place to pick up Japanese sweets and food stuffs. Try the Pocky sticks with chocolate & crushed almonds, or the Japanese coated peanuts.

    28pc green tea chocolate Meltykiss is not worth the price. More cost effective to buy the smaller boxes (14pc)!
