One day, at FamilyMart in Tokyo, I found a sweet with a surprising blackness. FamilyMart's original baked confectionery "thick sliced chocolate cake". The price is 180 yen including tax.


Looking into it, it seems that it has been on sale since August of this year. As far as the shape and packaging are concerned, it seems to be a member of the "banana bread" I introduced the other day.

It may be difficult to convey in the photo, but when you look at it at the store, the color is quite dark. It's closer to black than brown, and even if it's called squid ink cake, you might believe it. I was wondering how black it was, so I decided to compare it with other foods.

■ Is the thick-sliced chocolate cake too black? I compared it with other foods

First of all, let's compare it with Lawson's "Chocolate Baum" by connecting chocolate-based baked goods. By the way, this is a new product released on November 17th.



It's an overwhelming victory . The chocolate cake has an overwhelming presence not only in color but also in shape and thickness. Along with the gentle brown baum, the chocolate cake can be seen as something evil.


If possible, I wanted to compare it with a product that looks similar to a thick-sliced chocolate cake, but I couldn't find it at other convenience stores or supermarkets. It's a sliced chocolate cake that you might see well, but it doesn't seem to be available everywhere.

Next is "black soybeans" when it comes to black things.



I thought it might be a match, but it was a surprisingly good fight. Isn't it almost as black as it is? In addition, the texture of chocolate cake seems to stick to the luster of black beans. Sexyness is also fifty-fifty.

By the way, I think I was able to fully convey the blackness, so I will review the taste from here.


A thick-sliced chocolate cake that gives off the sweet scent of chocolate when you take it out of the bag. The fine surface of the texture is moist when touched with a finger. The size is 7 cm in length (longest), 9 cm in width, and 3.5 cm in height. The calorie is 461 kcal.


Since it was originally cut (probably), the cross section is not much different from the surface. Although it contains chocolate chips, it is assimilated into a black cloth, so you can finally find it by staring at it.


The texture is fluffy and moist. It unravels on the tongue and gradually spreads the sweetness and bitterness. I imagined a rich and heavy taste from the depth of color and fragrance, but surprisingly it was not too sweet and refreshing. The chocolate chips that you occasionally meet are accented with a trolley texture and strong sweetness.


A well-balanced taste with a large size. I ate one at a time and was just right satisfied. When you go to FamilyMart, why not check the blackness at the store or buy it and compare it with various black foods?
