Here are some of the new sweets from convenience stores released this week (March 20-24, 2017) that the editorial department actually ate and were particularly delicious!

● 7-ELEVEN "Uji Matcha Cream Machamoko" (140 yen, tax included, same below)


The long-awaited new sweets for matcha lovers. It's a mortal sin to multiply Matcha with 7-ELEVEN's exquisite "Moko" series ...!


The chewy dough is filled with melty matcha custard whipped cream made from Uji matcha. All green outside and inside! The tension goes up.


The thick matcha cream has a sharp bitterness! It is extremely important that "bitterness" is a solid rule of thumb for matcha sweets by matcha lovers, but this matcha cream is the best because it has a strong bitterness and umami. In the sense that the matcha is strong, I remembered the Haagen-Dazs matcha ice cream when I was eating it.

The calorie is 241 kcal.

● Lawson "Imo Yokan of Anno Imo" (150 yen)


Lawson introduces Japanese sweets. Although it was about the size of a large dice caramel, the taste was insanely rich (or rather, the potatoes were the same), so I was satisfied!


The ingredients are simple potato yokan with only Anno potato paste, sugar, and agar.


It feels like you're eating the potatoes themselves! It is so soft that you don't need teeth and has a smooth texture that melts. I love it too!

The calorie is 86 kcal.

● FamilyMart "Rum-scented chocolate cake" (190 yen)


A smooth cake with a fluffy and moist cocoa sponge layered with a thick chocolate dough.

With a bite, the rum is amazingly fragrant! The mellow alcoholic flavor fills your mouth so that you may feel tipsy. Sometimes crispy and crushed almonds add a chewy accent. The white heart is crispy white chocolate.


The cake itself is delicious, but the rum is strong, so it's recommended for people who like rummy or chocolate with sake like Bacchus. I feel like men will like it too. The calorie is 228 kcal.


● Ministop "Mochitama-condensed milk strawberry cream-" (100 yen)


A new flavor of "mochitama" wrapped in fluffy condensed milk strawberry cream with a chewy dough. I was impressed by the nostalgic taste of sweet and sour strawberries, which was like condensed milk.


The moment the cream overflows into your mouth, you can tell that "Oh, this cream is delicious." The taste of strawberries is not lie! Sometimes the flesh hits the teeth and the fruity scent spreads.


It has the richness of condensed milk and has a refreshing sweetness, so there is no feeling of stomach upset. The calorie is 174 kcal.

So far, we have introduced 4 recommended items from the new convenience stores! This week we had a wide variety of flavors and genres. Stay tuned for what kind of sweets will be available next week, the final week of March!
