I was always a fan of the Pretz lines. Their flavored pretzel sticks are very good, and just a wee bit less fattening than potato chips. Pizza, tomato, and salad flavors were always my favorite.

I'm surprised it hasn't caught on over here, given the massive health-fad that's been sweeping the nation for the past decade.

Edit: Its more of a sweet than a candy, but I am a huge fan of mochi. Its highly addictive.

I like Pocky a lot, specially the thin ones. Many times I'd come home after a trip somewhere with my bf and we'd go to the convenience store near his appartment and I'd buy Pocky and ate it all and gave nothing to him!

I've rarely met a Japanese candy I didn't like. LOL. My favorites are Green tea kit kats, blueberry pocky, salad pretz, soda candy and these:

I like Bottan Rice Candy, pocky, Hi-Chew, and that little candy dispencer thing that has a picture of a cow drinking milk on it, It's blue and tube shaped. (I could never read the bottle to find out what it is)

The only Japanese candy I've had is pocky but I would like to try some more at some time. They look colourful and original whilst in the UK there's nothing new >.<

I guess this is when my gaijin comes through. So far I haven't found a Japanese candy that really impresses me. I can enjoy pocky or mochi, but I can pass it up just as easily. A thin pretzel stick with flavored icing (basically what pocky is) is only as good as the icing and I would just as soon have a a good, salted western pretzel.

Now some fresh pastry is a whole different matter, as is red bean ice cream or the flavored wafer cookies that are just as common in England as in my local Asian grocery. Some places they are called waffle cream cookies. My favorite are the lemon ones.
