About 'Pakkuncho': 'Pakkuncho' was born after much trial and error to develop a biscuit that children would love. The idea was to fill round, bite-sized biscuits with chocolate cream and print Disney characters on the surface. It was launched on April 15, 1983, the same day Tokyo Disneyland opened. The <Strawberry> flavor was added the following year, and it has been loved by a wide range of customers, from children to adults.
