Above is 7-ELEVEN, below is Lawson

Comparison of taste, price, sugar content, calories, etc. In conclusion, I would like to tell you that I would recommend the 7-ELEVEN's "chocolate croissant with reduced sugar content" more! Both of them have chocolate protruding from both ends of the bread with a bang, and there is no question that they are satisfying as chocolate bread. However, the 7-ELEVEN's chocolate croissant was more satisfying, and I didn't really feel that it was sugar-free. Also, the price is about 30 yen cheaper at 7-ELEVEN.

It contains 221 kcal, 12.6 g of dietary fiber, and only 11.8 g of sugar.

The dough is moist, but also has a slightly crispy texture when you bite into it. It is a relatively light croissant. At the same time, it is the texture of the "kokkisu" chocolate that hits the palate. It is a thick bar, thick and quite satisfyingly chocolatey. The chocolate tastes slightly bitter and moderately sweet! The slight wheat sweetness of the dough was perfectly balanced with the bittersweet cocoa.
