context_page_description: Collon, which is also called wagashi in Japanese, is a type of Japanese traditional dessert originally from the Meji period. The word collon is used as a combination of a variety of sweets, candies, ice cream and dessert. In order to distinguish their invention from the western dessert during the Meji period, Japanese invented the terms collon and wagashi to represent the dessert of its own tradition and culture. While some of the collons are popular around the world with no time restrictions, other types of collons might be available in Japan only or during certain time periods. The main ingredients of collon consist of sugar, rice, sticky rice and wheat flour. Different flavours are produced by adding in other special ingredients. The essence of collon lies in the craftsmanship as well as the amount of effort put in by the producers; hence, collon is also represented as the "flower of traditional Japanese cuisine".
