Aren't these the ones that they do all across Asia? I saw a news program about South Koreans sending huge balloons attached to stacks of Choco-pies over to North Korea as a gift, apparently the North Korean people love them and have been known to actually use them as a form of currency. I was amazed.
I bought choco pie the other day. it is limited sale choco pie, and name of the choco pie is "amaou choco pie ". it was choco pie sandwiches with amaou cream ( strawberry cream ) between.
I'm curious as to why they call these pies. Is there some kind of translation confusion there, like they have with the hips/butt thing....because I could kind of understand that.
@edpark1911 That's a bit of a stretch. It was started by a Korean man living in Japan, and has its headquarters in Shinjuku, but most of its operations are in S.Korea.
In the US, this is a form of pie. Moonpie (being one of the more notable brands). Most often, when its this kind of "pie" one can expect it to be small, between cookie/cake hardness, some filling (mainly marshmallow based), and coated. So this fits the description.
@TheJapanChannelDcom This is a Japanese version of the same Korean snack? o_O Looks the same aside from packaging, and yes this stuff is too tasty. =P
I'd hate trying to find a real pie in Japan. Pie is an American and European specialty lol. Reminds me, Thanksgiving is happening in the states this week. You know the day where the purist came to America. befriended the Native Americans, then stole their land after the feast. Yeah...I'll get some pie that day :P I always like your vids.
hmm, now I want to walk across the street and pickup a moon pie. Haven't had one in awhile. I remember when my grandfather would say, "back in my day after a hard days work for 50 cents we would get a moon pie and RC Cola"
Got the in Belgium aswell in all sorts of different colors. I think someone in Belgium invented these.. would make sense since well chocolate and Belgium.. :)
we have oatmeal creme pies and moon pies here in the us that are very similar to that though i guess technically their not pies either. dessert sandwich might be a better name.
Oh well here in the states we have two large wafers with marshmallow in between, covered in chocolate that is also very tasty, but it is called a Moon Pie.
@starblazers100 what's a wagon wheel?..what's it made of?...Here in the USA what he is showing in the video looks like a Moon pie..Here in the US it's 2 grahm crackers with a sticky marshmellow center..it's one of the best sellers here for kids or construction workers to take in there lunch box to work or school
That looks JUST like a Moon Pie. Obviously not a pie either, but that's what they're called. I'm wondering if someone didn't come Stateside (or other countries that have them), tried one, liked it, then decided to make them in Japan and call them choco pies. I've never had one myself, maybe I should try one. :)
in south america there is something very similar to that called "alfajor" ^^

The best way it's to do your own pie with whatever you want as a filling , since it seems in Japan is so hard to find a real pie.
It's almost Christmas and i can already smell the traditional pies and cookies made in my country.
This choco pie looks like a type of chocolate biscuits i have in my country.
