Sanritsu Couque D'asses Matcha Cream Biscuits — 12 Pieces

A thin, crisp butter biscuit with matcha cream between two halves, twelve of them, each in its own wrapper. The matcha is a flavour in a sweet cream rather than the main event: in the cream's own ingredient list it is the fifth of seven things, behind the oil, the sugar and two kinds of milk solids. Buy it if you want a light green-tea biscuit with coffee or tea; if you want the bitter, grassy hit of a proper matcha sweet, this is the wrong biscuit.

On the pack: クックダッセ 抹茶クリーム.

What you're getting

• Thin and crisp. It snaps when you bite it.
• There is matcha in the biscuit as well as in the cream, not only in the filling.
• The matcha is stone-milled and from Uji, the tea district south of Kyoto. Which part of the biscuit that tea went into is not stated anywhere.
• The green comes from the tea: there is no colouring in the ingredients. There is added flavouring in it though, listed at the end, so the smell is not all the tea either.
• It is sweet, and mildly flavoured. This is a biscuit that tastes of matcha, not a matcha sweet.
• Eat it cold if you can. It keeps fine in the cupboard, but the colder the biscuit, the harder it snaps.
• Allergens: contains wheat, egg, milk and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.

They are brittle, and the pieces can crumble as you open a wrapper, so expect a cracked one or two. This flavour is new, Sanritsu started making it in February 2026, and an older version called 抹茶チョコ is still on shelves in Japan under a different barcode, so reviews you find online may not be of this one. 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.
