Here are some of the new sweets from convenience stores released this week (April 10-14, 2017) that the editorial department actually ate and were particularly delicious!
● FamilyMart "Creamy Soymilk Tart" (290 yen, tax included, same below)
A tart cake with plenty of pure white soy milk cream. The moderate sweetness and mellow richness of soy milk matched the sour cheese dough and the fragrant tart dough, and it was insanely delicious!
Pour a thick cheese dough into a crisp and moist tart dough, and squeeze a generous amount of fluffy soy milk cream to finish. Black sesame topping is a Japanese accent. The calorie is 328 kcal.
● 7-ELEVEN "Tororin Purin Black Mitsuki Nako" (160 yen)
A Japanese-style pudding made from kinako and black honey sauce made from brown sugar. The pudding has a kinako flavor that is so strong that you can see the crushed kinako (probably), and it is a nice dish for Japanese sweets lovers.
The fragrant and rich sweetness of the black honey sauce adds a sharp touch to the mild and gentle taste of kinako pudding. I was happy that it melted in my mouth. The calorie is 186 kcal.
● Lawson "Fluffy Matcha Pudding (with red bean paste)" (195 yen)
A pudding made from Uji matcha from the Tsuji Riichi main store. The bean paste of Kitaroman azuki beans from Hokkaido and "two layers of matcha" are luxurious and recommended for Japanese sweets lovers.
There are plenty of fluffy bubbles on the surface, like matcha. Below that is a smooth matcha pudding.
In addition, the bean paste on the bottom is filled with azuki beans, which makes me happy. You can also enjoy the chewy texture, which is irresistible for azuki lovers! The calorie is 172 kcal.
● Lawson "Premium Aged Uji Matcha Roll Cake" (195 yen)
A roll cake made from "aged Uji matcha" from Riichi Tsuji's main store. By "aging" matcha, you can feel not only bitterness but also mellow sweetness.
Chopped Tencha is added to the dough.
The sponge dough melts moistly, spreading the bitterness and rich aroma of tea. The fluffy matcha cream also has a mellow bitterness and richness, and anyway, it has the taste of matcha. The high point was that the dough and cream were generally smooth in the mouth! The calorie is 221 kcal.
These are the convenience stores that are attracting attention this week! I feel that the lineup of Japanese sweets is substantial, perhaps according to the cherry blossom season. Let's expect what kind of sweets will be released next week!
