Umaibō (うまい棒) or "delicious stick" is a small, puffed, cylindrical corn snack from Japan. It is produced by Riska and sold by Yaokin. It has a suggested retail price of 10 yen. The mascot is a round-headed earless cat, similar to the appearance of Doraemon. This character is considered to be an alien, born on September 13, 1978 on a certain star in a distant universe. With an undecided name, the mascot is sometimes nicknamed Umaemon, a pun to Doraemon, along with other nicknames such as Doyaemon, and Umai BOY.[1][2]
There are many flavors of Umaibō available, including savory flavors, such as salad, mentaiko, takoyaki and cheese; and sweet flavors, such as cocoa, caramel, and chocolate.
