When I saw Glico’s Cream Collon Sakura Matcha Cookies (クリームコロン大人のさくら抹茶) at the store, I bought them immediately.
Interesting Discovery
The Japanese name for this product is クリームコロン大人のさくら抹茶 which directly translates to “Cream Collon Adult Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Matcha (Green Tea)”.
So the question is, why is the word “adult” in the name?
No, it doesn’t mean that the product is for adults only. It actually means that the product has a strong flavor. The translation, “strong sakura matcha flavor” is more accurate.
