Product information
About
A thin, crisp butter biscuit with white chocolate cream between two halves, twelve of them, each in its own wrapper. The biscuit is the good part: it snaps. The cream is sweet and spread thin. Buy it if you like white chocolate and want something light with coffee; if you want a thick, creamy filling, this is the wrong biscuit.
On the pack: クックダッセ ホワイトチョコ.
What you're getting
- Thin and crisp, with a denser crunch than something this thin looks like it should have.
- The white chocolate is spread thin rather than layered in. This is a biscuit with cream on it, not a cream biscuit.
- The cream is sweet rather than restrained. Buy it expecting sweet.
- If you know Shiroi Koibito, the Hokkaido white-chocolate biscuit sold in gift boxes, this is the same idea without the gift box.
- Eat it cold if you can. It keeps fine in the cupboard, but the colder the biscuit, the harder it snaps.
- Twelve pieces, wrapped one at a time, the rest stay crisp once you've opened one, and it is an easy box to hand round at work.
- 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. It is a good one to keep in the fridge through summer.
- Have it with black coffee or unsweetened tea. The cream is sweet, so a drink with no sugar in it balances the biscuit out.
- Open one at a time. Each piece has its own wrapper, which is what keeps the rest crisp after the box has been opened.
In their own words
What Japanese buyers say
- What they like
The cookie snaps! The pairing with white chocolate is the best.
クッキーサクッと! ホワイトチョコとのコラボ最高です
from monolog
- What they grumble about
The base is crisp and tasty, but the amount of white chocolate is a letdown.
生地はサクサクで美味しいのですが、ホワイトチョコの量が残念
from monolog
- What they grumble about
The flavour is blurry overall. You don't really taste the white chocolate. Just sweet.
全体的に味がぼやけている。ホワイトチョコの味はそこまでしない。ただ甘い。
from monolog
- What they like
This flavour's the tastiest. Shame it's hard to find, but I'll buy it again.
この味が一番おいしいです。なかなか売っていないのが残念、でもまた買います。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
The white chocolate inside is fatty, sweet, cheap white chocolate.
中のホワイトチョコは油脂感あり甘いチープなホワイトチョコ
from mognavi

I feel this sweet tastes better eaten in summer than in winter.
このお菓子は冬に食べるより夏に食べた方が美味しく感じる気がします。
from mognavi
- What they grumble about
The cookie felt a touch too sweet, but eaten with the white chocolate it was good.

The maker
Where it comes from
- Sanritsu Seika
- Shizuoka
Sanritsu started in Hamamatsu in 1921 and was the first company in Japan to make pie pastry on a factory scale. Most Japanese households know it for Genji Pie, the sugared palmier sold in every supermarket, rather than for this box.
Couque D'asses has been made since 1979. The name 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.
