Among the many baked sweets, "Financier" has a slightly fashionable atmosphere. In recent years, it has become a staple at convenience stores.
When I ate and compared the three types of 7-ELEVEN, Lawson, and FamilyMart, I found that there was a surprising difference. Please use it as a reference when choosing.
Financiers of 3 convenience stores
7-ELEVEN is 118 yen, Lawson is 130 yen, and FamilyMart is 128 yen (all prices include 8% consumption tax). There is not much price difference. 7-ELEVEN and Lawson are about the same size, and FamilyMart is a little larger.

7-ELEVEN Financier
Product name: Scorched butter financier Price: 118 yen
The flavor and sweetness of butter that spreads slowly when chewed. The image that was tightly concentrated was released in the mouth.
Accented with a slightly fragrant bitterness, as the name "burnt" means. The taste is that butter is the leading role, and the texture is fairly solid.
Lawson Financier
Product name: Moist financier using fermented butter Price: 130 yen
Moist and stronger than 7-ELEVEN. It is fine and melts quickly when you eat it.
The almond flavor is strong, and the sweetness and butteriness are elegant. It is a dish that seems to go well with not only coffee but also tea.
FamilyMart Financier
Product name: Financier made with fermented butter Price: 128 yen
The surface is crunchy and fragrant, and the inside is moist. You can enjoy the contrast of texture. This is a point not found in the other two types! However, you can't enjoy the juicy feeling that is "juwa" instead.
The taste is sweet and strong. With a mellow flavor that harmonizes butter and almonds, it seems to be enjoyable by children and adults alike.
Financier Eating and comparing summary
That's all for comparing the financiers of the three convenience stores. Although their individuality is different, all three are delicious and have no loss. It is also recommended to buy it in combination with convenience store coffee!
