Toppo (Food)[edit | edit source]

Toppo is a popular snack food originating from Japan. It is produced by Lotte, a multinational conglomerate with a significant presence in the food industry. Toppo is often described as a reverse Pocky, another popular Japanese snack, due to its unique structure where the filling is inside the biscuit stick rather than on the outside.

History[edit | edit source]

Lotte introduced Toppo in 1999 as a new addition to their snack food line. The product was designed to offer a unique twist on the traditional biscuit stick snack, with the filling placed inside the stick. This innovative design quickly gained popularity, and Toppo has since become a beloved snack in Japan and other parts of the world.

Varieties[edit | edit source]

Toppo comes in a variety of flavors. The original Toppo is filled with a sweet chocolate cream. However, over the years, Lotte has introduced other flavors such as strawberry, matcha (green tea), and cookies and cream. Each flavor offers a unique taste experience, catering to a wide range of taste preferences.

Packaging[edit | edit source]

Toppo is typically packaged in a box, with individual packets inside. Each packet contains two biscuit sticks, making it a convenient snack for on-the-go consumption. The packaging design often features bright colors and playful graphics, reflecting the fun and enjoyable nature of the snack.

Popularity[edit | edit source]

Toppo's unique design and variety of flavors have contributed to its popularity. It is not only enjoyed in Japan but has also gained a following in other countries. It is often found in Asian supermarkets and online stores that specialize in Japanese snacks.
