Glico Cream Collon Wafer Rolls Strawberry

Strawberry Collon is the one that works on acidity.

Where the milk versions pull the sweetness back and let the wafer come through, here strawberry powder and an acidulant push against it — Glico’s phrase is amazuppai, sweet-and-sour, and it is the tartness rather than the fruit that gives this Collon its shape.

The pink comes from carotenoid and red yeast rice rather than synthetic dye.

Collon has been made by Glico since 1972, and the construction has not changed: a thin wafer rolled into a short tube with aerated cream inside.

Korokoro is the Japanese word for something small that rolls, which is where the name comes from and why these end up on children’s fingertips.

The wafer breaks with a clean paritto snap and the cream collapses rather than resists — on the strawberry version the acidity arrives at that moment, as the two give way together.

Six sealed sachets of 13.5 g to a box.

Collon takes on humidity quickly and loses the snap that justifies it, so the sachets are doing real work rather than decorating the box — one open, five still sound. 76 kcal a sachet.
