This year too, convenience stores are releasing cakes for Christmas one after another. A full lineup of mini-sized cakes for one person as well as whole cakes.

Among them, this time, I tried to compare the royal road of Christmas cake " strawberry cake " at 7-ELEVEN, Lawson, and FamilyMart!

◆ 7-ELEVEN "Mini Kamakura with Strawberry Sauce" (300 yen, tax included, same below)


Easy size of 7-ELEVEN's classic Christmas cake "Kamakura". Bavarian cream and strawberry pulp sauce are wrapped in sponge dough, and whipped cream is squeezed around it.


The mellow bavarois and the fluffy and fragrant sponge melt in your mouth. The whipped cream is rich but not too sweet, and on the contrary, it enhances the sweetness of strawberries with less acidity.


The impression is that various flavors are layered and the balance between sweetness and acidity is good.

◆ Lawson "Snow Bomb" (320 yen)


A mini-sized version of Lawson's popular "Snow Bomb" every year. Sanded custard cream with vanilla seeds in a fluffy sponge dough and coated with whipped cream. Strawberries are topped.


The sponge's mouthfeel is insanely good! Just put it on your tongue and it will melt. The whipped cream is fluffy like powder snow, and the richness and sweetness of the milk is strong. It has a lot of presence.


I want to eat sweets! It seems that it will satisfy the desire for sweets.

◆ FamilyMart "Strawberry Shortcake" (320 yen)


A shortcake made by decorating sponge dough with whipped cream and strawberries. Rum syrup is added to balance the taste.


The sponge has a soft and fluffy mouthfeel and melts when chewed. The cream is sweet and refreshing, so you won't feel sick even if you eat a lot. Sweet and sour strawberries also leave a refreshing finish in the mouth.



It's refreshing, so it's recommended for people who aren't good at pulling sweetness.


Personally, I liked FamilyMart's strawberry shortcake the most because of its balance of taste and mouthfeel (I was happy to have one strawberry!). However, it's delicious for all three people, so the cake you choose may change depending on your mood and stomach. If you have a cake that interests you, please try it and compare it!
