Following the convenience store counter coffee that was a big hit last year, the "convenience store donut war" broke out this year? Following 7-ELEVEN , FamilyMart and Lawson will also be fully deployed, and "convenience store donuts" will be lined up among the three major companies.

When this happened, the En-eating editorial department was driven by a strange urge to say, "I have to compare eating!" I bought Mister Donuts from three major companies and compared them. This article reports on Lawson donuts. ( Eat and compare , 7-ELEVEN , and FamilyMart are also available!)


◆ Scheduled to expand to 8,000 stores by August

Lawson is the latest of the three major companies, but it was announced on April 17th that it will expand to about 8,000 stores by August. However, since it has already been introduced in about 600 stores, many people may have eaten it. The sales method is the same counter method as 7-ELEVEN.

◆ 100 yen including tax!

At the moment, there are 6 types in the lineup. There are 4 types made at the factory and 2 types of "Hawaiian donuts" that are fried and finished in the store.

・ Old-fashioned donut chocolate 100 yen ・ Mottling strawberry 100 yen ・ Mottling chocolate 100 yen ・ Sugar donut 100 yen ・ Hawaii and donut plain 100 yen ・ Hawaii and donut chocolate 100 yen

This time, I also bought the "Bran's Grilled Donuts" (120 yen), which I personally love.

◆ Try eating 7 kinds

Let's eat them in order.

First of all, old fashion donut chocolate. If you look side by side with Mister Donut's chocolate fashion, you can see that the chocolate is quite black. The shape is similar, but the color of the fabric is darker than Mister Donut. When I tried it, Lawson's chocolate was quite bitter. The dough seems to be sweetened by that amount.


Mottling Strawberries are made by connecting eight drop-shaped doughs into a circle. When I tried it, it had a chewy texture similar to that of Mister Donut's Pon de Ring, giving it a crispy impression. In addition, strawberry chocolate has a strong sweetness, and you can feel "Oh! I'm eating strawberry chocolate!".


On the other hand, Mottling chocolate is a bitter chocolate like old fashion. It was in contrast to the sweetness of strawberries. I think the fabric is plain and it's pitch black!



Sugar donuts with a whitish glaze are not as sweet as they look. I felt a slight honey-like scent. Also, the dough is not too fluffy, so it may be worth eating.


And Hawaiian donuts are a must-have at Lawson's counter donuts. It is a menu with many fans that can be finished by "in-store cooking". Put the sugar given at the time of purchase in a bag, shake it and sprinkle it.

Plain is characterized by a simple taste because there is nothing inside. And chocolate is a type with rich chocolate cream inside. You can enjoy "fluffy trolley" by warming it in the microwave. It seems that the warming time is about 10 to 20 seconds.


And although it's not a counter donut, I'm personally addicted to Bran's grilled donuts. It is sold at the bakery corner. This product, which is finished with low sugar using bran (wheat bran), is a good product for health conscious people because it has 157 kcal and less than 12 g of sugar even though it is covered with chocolate. It's a bran, so it's a bit of a light dough, but if you don't like fried donuts, you can eat it without feeling guilty.


◆ "Adult taste" that goes well with cafe au lait

Lawson's donuts tasted more like cafe au lait than black coffee. Especially, the bitter chocolate type is recommended with Cafe au lait.

By the way, Hawaiian donuts will sell seasonal flavors. At the moment, there are two types planned, "Honey Lemon" and "Hokkaido Melon". Of these, I tasted Hokkaido melon at a press conference, and I felt the "taste of melon" properly. Moreover, it is rich! It contains red meat melon puree.

Personally, I would like you to strengthen the lineup of brand donuts ... How about Mr. Lawson?
