Glico
Founded in 1922, Ezaki Glico was inspired by founder Riichi Ezaki’s discovery of glycogen in oyster broth. Seeing its health benefits firsthand, he aimed to improve Japan’s physical condition through food. The company’s first product, the red-boxed nutritional snack Glico, featured the now-iconic man crossing the finish line, later becoming Osaka’s famous “running man” landmark.
Glico offers a wide range of popular products loved by all ages. Top sellers include Pocky chocolate sticks, Pretz savory sticks, Almond Chocolate, Cratz, and Cheeza. The company also produces dairy products, puddings, premium Japanese curry like Zeppin, and health-focused items such as the Sunao series and Icreo infant milk.

Celebrating over 100 years, Glico continues to innovate while maintaining high-quality standards. Its iconic landmark, beloved snacks, and commitment to health make it a symbol of Japanese confectionery culture.
