Comparison of "Carbonara" at convenience stores

If you like pasta, you have probably had carbonara at least once. It is also a standard item in convenience stores.

So this time, we compared carbonara from 7-ELEVEN, Lawson, and Family Mart. In the end, I'll try to decide the No. 1 cospa among the three!

Comparison of Carbonara from 3 convenience stores
What's the best carbonara for the costumers? I took the liberty of deciding!

We bought 7-ELEVEN's "Carbonara with Cheese and Bacon" (398 yen, tax included, same as below), Lawson's "Carbonara with Rich Sauce" (450 yen), and Family Mart's "Carbonara with Rich Cheese Aroma" (398 yen). Only Lawson's was a little more expensive.

7-ELEVEN "Carbonara with Cheese and Bacon

Even within the same carbonara, the three tasted very different from each other. 7-ELEVEN's Carbonara was a model of what a "classic" Carbonara should be!

I dinged it and the cheese melted in.

The creamy, milky sauce is smooth without being dry to the end. It is smooth and easy to eat. The bacon topping is thick, crispy, and full of juicy flavor. The coarsely ground black pepper also adds a nice kick. This dish satisfies 100% of your "I want carbonara today" craving.

You can't go wrong if you choose this one, it's so good!

FamilyMart "Carbonara with rich cheese aroma

All carbonara contained cheese, but the cheesiest of all was from Family Mart.

I dinged it and the sauce melted and spread.

It has a mild mouthfeel and a slightly cloying taste. The umami and richness of the cheese is very pronounced. The black pepper and bacon are not too much. The bacon was not crispy, but moist and thinly sliced, with a little more bacon than 7-ELEVEN's.

I recommend it to all cheese lovers!

LAWSON "Carbonara with Rich Sauce

The most notable feature of LAWSON's "fresh pasta" is its unique flat pasta. It is a unique flat pasta, and when you bite into it, it is so chewy! The pasta is chewy with great elasticity, and the taste of the wheat is delivered to you without being overpowered by the sauce.

The toppings are also gorgeous. Aromatic and juicy thick-sliced bacon and a half-boiled egg are placed on top of the pasta. The rich taste of the yolk melts into the pasta, giving it a mellow, rich flavor. The pasta is also seasoned with just the right amount of black pepper.

The first bite had the most punch.

At first I wondered if there was not enough pasta. I thought so, but I was so full because each piece was so filling....

Costa No. 1 Convenience Store "Carbonara

Based on the above, we have decided that the No. 1 cospa item is... LAWSON's "Carbonara with rich and delicious sauce"!

LAWSON "Carbonara with rich sauce
I've decided on you!

The three were delicious in three different ways, but Lawson's was the one that I was able to finish without getting tired of it. The fresh pasta was delicious, and since you have to break up the egg yourself, the flavor changes with each bite, so I couldn't stop eating even when I was full. How about having it for lunch today?
