Eat and compare 7-ELEVEN and Lawson's sweet bread "Babka". It is a chocolate bread that has appeared at convenience stores in response to its popularity in New York.

7-ELEVEN chocolate babka

Bread baked with plenty of flavorful chocolate filling and chocolate chips with cinnamon added to Danish pastry. The price is 149 yen (tax included).


7-ELEVEN Babka with a jagged pattern on the top of the cylinder. You can see that the chocolate filling sticks out a little from the edge and fits in every corner of the cylinder.


The dough has a light texture similar to a crisp croissant. This is not sweet in itself, and you can enjoy the change that gradually becomes sweeter by catching the melted chocolate in your mouth.


The chocolate filling is thick and sticky, and the contrast is vivid with the light dough. The cinnamon flavor is subtle and I haven't claimed much. Speaking of which, it's mostly bread au chocolat. The difference is that the dough is more plump and the chocolate inside is not a board but a filling. It is a delicious chocolate bread that you can eat without any preparation. Personally, I preferred this one.

Lawson Babka

A round bread topped with crumble, made by folding Belgian chocolate and cinnamon cream into a Danish pastry with butter that uses plenty of eggs. The price is 150 yen (tax included).


Lawson's Babka is made by twisting the dough into a round shape, which looks quite different from 7-ELEVEN's. The dough is crispy but juicy, and the sweetness of chocolate and the scent of cinnamon spread along with the scent.



Since the chocolate is spread all over, it is easier to feel the sweetness from the beginning, and the cinnamon scent and crumble texture give it a sweet-like finish. It is a chocolate bread that you want to eat with coffee as a snack.
