Glico Cream Collon Wafer Rolls Light Milk

Light Milk is the Collon the rest of the range is measured against.

Glico has made Collon since 1972, and this is the recipe that has carried it: a thin wafer rolled into a short tube, filled with an aerated milk cream, with the sweetness deliberately restrained so the wafer’s own toasted flavour still registers.

The box calls it assari — light, clean, nothing heavy about it.

The name is onomatopoeia. Korokoro describes something small that rolls, and a Collon is exactly that — a one-bite cylinder, which is why Japanese children line them up on their fingertips.

The texture is the reason the product has lasted fifty years: the wafer breaks with a clean paritto snap, the cream collapses rather than resists, and the two finish together.

This is the standard retail box, holding six sealed sachets of 13.5 g.

Collon absorbs humidity quickly and loses the snap that justifies it, so the sachets are not decorative — one open, five still sound.

At 76 kcal a sachet it portions neatly for a bag or a desk.

Glico also sells a nine-sachet family size of the same Collon.
