I ate and compared FamilyMart's "Gateau Chocolat" and "Chocolate Baumkuchen". Tailored to enjoy the scent of cacao, a faint bitterness, and a deep sweetness. If you want to eat it as a snack, one at a time is just the right volume. Which is better to pick up?

The sweets this time are the same as " Sachertorte " and " Rich Chocolat Eclair ", which are supervised by Chef Ken's Cafe Tokyo. It has been announced that Bean to Bar chocolate is used as the material.

Gateau chocolat

Gateau chocolate has a selling price of 198 yen (tax included, the same applies below) and has a calorie of 228 kcal. Bean to Bar The bitterness of chocolate is just right. About 30% of the chocolate used is "Ecuador Special".


With a simple bar type, you can feel the weight. When you cut it, you can see the amount of chocolate contained in the dough from the cross section.


When you eat a bite, it feels like chocolate that makes you want to say it's sticky. It has a high scent of cacao, a slight bitterness and a deep sweetness, and it seems to be comparable to cakes from Western confectionery stores.

Chocolate-covered Baumkuchen

The chocolate-covered Baumkuchen is priced at 190 yen and has a calorie of 270 kcal. A chocolate-flavored Baumkuchen with chocolate sprinkled on it. With a moist texture, you can feel the taste of the dough itself when you eat it with chocolate. About 23% of the chocolate used is Ecuadorian chocolate.


The combination of the glossy surface and the ring-like shape with a hole in the middle reminds me of a donut with a little chocolate, but when I cut it, the inside is a fluffy cake dough. Indeed, it was Baumkuchen.


When you bring it to your mouth, the chocolate on the outside has a crispy texture and a strong cacao flavor, and the dough on the inside is soft and moist, which also gives the individuality of cacao. Accented with just the right amount of bitterness, you'll want to eat all of them in a blink of an eye.



If you want to combine drinks with both chocolate sweets this time, refreshing straight tea is perfect. By the way, if you want to pick it up first at the store, I'm at a loss, but I recommend the chocolate-covered Baumkuchen. The chocolate and dough complement each other, making it easier to feel the characteristics of cacao.
