Lawson "Michipu" and 7-ELEVEN "Italian Pudding"
A perfect showdown!

I tried and compared Lawson "Michipu -Michiri Pudding-" and 7-ELEVEN "Italian Pudding". Both are tightly packed and rich puddings, but what's the difference?

Combined with FamilyMart's "Nettori Italian Pudding", this is a complete lineup of rich puddings from three major convenience store chains. In addition, I have also reviewed the eating comparison between FamilyMart and 7-ELEVEN before, so please have a look if you like.

Lawson's Michipu

Michi Pooh -Michiri Pudding-

As the name suggests, Michipu is a solid pudding. A transparent case is contained in the red package to protect it.

It is made by crossing cheesecake and panna cotta, and uses cheese filling with mascarpone and cream from Hokkaido.

As the name suggests

Caramel has a large amount and easily crumbles, so be careful not to stain the surroundings, take it out, and serve it on a plate. Then add a spoon and it will give you a firm response. It's more like another candy than a pudding.

It ’s a taste of panna cotta.

There is no softness like the jelly that is often found in pudding. When you look at it, it has a solid shape at first, but when you break it with your tongue, it is as smooth as "silk".

It's a thick work that reminds me of panna cotta. The scent of the egg is not so strong, and the caramel flavor is clearly felt.

It was a sweet for tea time and cafe time, which goes well with straight refreshing black tea and strong and bitter coffee.

7-ELEVEN Italian pudding

Next is 7-ELEVEN Italian pudding. Even among convenience stores where shelves change rapidly, it is a relatively stable and happy item to buy. It has a natural richness using cheese and condensed milk, and it is sure to be eaten anytime.

This time, I will try to taste it while being aware of the difference from Lawson's Michipu. The texture when you put the spoon in, the heavy weight when you put it in your mouth, and the smoothness of the tongue were all hard to put on.

"Tamagoyaki feeling" is unrivaled

The big difference is that 7-ELEVEN's Italian pudding does not extrude the individuality of caramel to the full, and emphasizes the feeling of egg.

Even though it is the same rich pudding, Lawson's Michipu has a taste of "hybrid sweets" that is closer to panna cotta. On the other hand, I had the impression that 7-ELEVEN had a rather concentrated taste of custard pudding itself.

Both of them seem to sell out soon depending on the location and time of the shop, but if you see them, you should definitely try them if you like rich pudding or hardened pudding.
