Product information

About

Small, round, crisp milk biscuits made in Japan as a first biscuit for children from about nine months, and eaten by plenty of adults too. They taste plain and gently sweet, much like a Marie biscuit. Buy them if you want one plain biscuit the whole family can share; if you want an unsweetened teething rusk, this is the wrong box.

On the pack: カルケット (karu-ketto). The biscuits themselves are stamped CALCUIT.

What you're getting

  • A plain milk biscuit: no cream, chocolate or fruit, with milk, condensed milk and butter in the dough.
  • It is still a sweet biscuit, with sugar second on the ingredient list.
  • The texture is crisp and light.
  • It crumbles easily, so expect crumbs around the high chair.
  • Allergens: wheat, egg, milk and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
  • Also on the label: shortening and margarine, either of which may be made with animal fat, and annatto, a natural orange colour made from a seed.

As with any finger food, give it with your child sitting up and an adult watching, never lying down or while being carried on your back, and keep a drink beside it.

Our guide

How to eat it

Good to know

  • Give one biscuit at a time, with your child sitting up and you watching; never while they are lying down or being carried on your back.
  • Keep a drink beside it: the maker suggests cooled boiled water or barley tea.

In their own words

What Japanese buyers say

  • A nostalgic taste. Delicious.

    懐かしい味。美味しい。

    from monolog, a Japanese review site

  • Fine outdoors, but indoors it crumbles everywhere and the clean-up is a job!

    外で食べるならいいけど、家の中だとクッキーがボロボロして掃除が大変！

    from monolog

  • I've always loved drinking a glass of milk with these.

    昔から、これと一緒に牛乳を飲むのが好きです。

    from monolog

  • I never tire of it, even every day.

    毎日食べても飽きません。

    from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site

  • Easy to eat, and tasty.

    食べやすくて美味しい

    from monolog

  • It doesn't taste of milk at all: plain, barely sweet and simple.

    味は、まったくミルク臭くなく、素朴で甘さがなくシンプル。

    from mognavi

  • I liked how natural it is, and not too sweet.

    甘すぎない自然な感じが気に入りました

    from mognavi

  • I feel a little odd eating a baby biscuit as an adult, but I've decided not to care.

    赤ちゃんじゃなく大人が食べている事に多少抵抗もあるが、気にしない事にする。

    from mognavi

  • Crisp, and it melts nicely in the mouth.

    さくさくしてて口どけ良いです。

    from mognavi

  • Simple and gentle, so not bad, but so simple you tire of it around the third one.

    シンプル且つ優しい味わいなので悪くはないけれど、シンプルすぎて3枚あたりで飽きてきますよね。

    from mognavi

  • I like the old-fashioned taste.

    昔ながらの味が好き

    from monolog

  • It's labelled for kids, but I just eat it like any biscuit.

    子供用となってますが普通に食べてます

    from chiebukuro

  • I compared it with Manna, and Calcket is still better!

    マンナと味比べをしたのですが、やっぱりカルケットがいいです！

    from chiebukuro

  • I like harder biscuits, so it feels a bit lacking, but as a snack for kids through to adults it's lovely.

    かためのビスケットが好きなのでちょっと物足りなさも感じますが、子供から大人まで、と考えるとステキなお菓子です

    from mognavi

  • I like that it doesn't chase trends.

    時代に媚びてない感じがよいです。

    from note

  • Put simply, think of a Marie biscuit.

    分かりやすく言うと、森永の「マリー」みたいなイメージです。
