Product information
About
A thin, crisp butter biscuit with a layer of chocolate cream between two halves, twelve of them, each in its own wrapper. It snaps when you bite it, and the chocolate is a thin, mild layer rather than a rich filling. Buy it if you want something light to have with coffee; if you want a proper chocolate hit, this is the wrong biscuit.
On the pack: クックダッセ チョコレート.
What you're getting
- Thin and crisp: it snaps between the teeth, then goes powdery as it breaks up.
- The chocolate is a thin layer rather than a filling. It is more sweet than cocoa-rich, and sugar sits at the top of the cream's ingredient list.
- Eat it cold if you can. It keeps fine in the cupboard, but the colder the biscuit is, the harder it snaps.
- A mild, everyday chocolate rather than a rich one. The flavour is light and doesn't hang around after you swallow.
- Twelve pieces, wrapped one at a time, so the rest stay crisp once you've opened one.
- Allergens: contains wheat, egg, milk and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
They are brittle, so expect a cracked one or two in the box. Made by Sanritsu, in Shizuoka. A Korean biscuit sells under an almost identical name and it is a different product; ours is the box printed 三立製菓, Sanritsu's name in Japanese, so that is the mark to match if you shop around.

Our guide
How to eat it
- Chill it before eating. The colder the biscuit, the harder it snaps, and a short spell in the freezer goes further still.
- Have it with black coffee. The biscuit is sweet and the cream is mild, so a bitter drink gives it something to work against.
- Open one at a time. Each piece has its own wrapper, which is what keeps the rest crisp after the box has been opened.
- Handle the box gently. These are thin and they break easily.
In their own words
What Japanese buyers say
- What they like
The crisp texture and lightly-flavoured cookie go beautifully with the mellow sweetness of the milk chocolate — delicious.

- What they grumble about
Between thin langue de chat wafers there's a slightly cheap-feeling "chocolate cream" thinly sandwiched.

The maker
Where it comes from
- Sanritsu Seika
- Shizuoka
Sanritsu was the first company in Japan to make pie pastry on a factory scale.
The name Couque D'asses is French-looking and the maker is careful about it: by one account, it says, the word comes from an old Belgian name for a thin, finely baked biscuit. Nobody claims to know for certain.
