11/28/2016
When autumn comes, we said it is “Autumn of Apetites.” There are a lot of good foods that you can have it in autumn! This time, I want to introduce few Japanese sweets that you can easily buy it in this two convenience store!
Lawson
First, I will introduce some sweets from Lawson. Maybe some of you know, the Lawson is popular in Karaage-kun(fried chicken). Although, Uchi Cafe, the original sweets from Lawson is popular too! From there, lets pick up few sweets!
Uji Matcha Mocchiri Nama Dorayaki
This Dorayaki (the red beans pancake) is a collaborarion with Tsujiri, the shop which is famous in Uji tea, Kyoto. It is different than regular Dorayaki. The texture of the pancake is chewy with full of rich Matcha cream and red beans paste. They use the small red beans named, “Yumemurasaki” from Hokkaido for the fillings. You can try a different Dorayaki here!
Price：160 yen (tax included)
Kuri Kinton
If you put inside your mouth, the taste of chesnut will spread all over. It is not that sweet, and it matches with green tea or English tea. For people who loves chesnut, this is one of the sweets you should try!
Price：245yen (tax included)
Cream Zenzai
On the top of small red beans, there are Shiratama (sweet rice-flour dumplings) and cream. I recommend this for people who loves sweet things! The cream matches Shiratama and red beans, and I feel it matches with bitter Matcha.
Price：280yen (tax included)
Imuraya Yawa-mochi Kinako Red Beans Monaka
This is the ice cream from Imuraya, the long established confectionery company in Japan.
As you know by the name, the sweet beans are jammed in the wafers with Kinako, Shiratama, and vanila ice cream. The vanila ice make the bean paste sweetness more relieve, and made the rich ice cream.
Price：140yen(tax included)
Family Mart
Here is the sweets from Family Mart!
The White Taiyaki with custard is the one of the popular sweets here. The outside is chewy, and very different to the original Taiyaki that you eat it as cold. This time, I found more Japanese sweets than this at here, so I would like to introduce some!
Kuri Daifuku
There is one big chesnut and chesnut paste inside the thin mochi. It is perfect with bitter matcha and Japanese tea.
Price：158yen (tax included)
Shio Daifuku
It is a Daifuku that kneaded with red beans from Narashino, Hokkaido. They used Japanese sticky rice for the mochi. The red bean paste is also from Japan, Tokatsu Hokkaido. Daifuku has a little bit salty taste with the sweetness, that makes the sweetness of red bean paste more less.
Price：139yen(Tax Included)
Premium Dorayaki
This Dorayaki use Japanese flour to make the pancake and Hokkaido red beans(Dainagon small beans) for the sweet beans. The pancake is very fluffy it is important for Dorayaki. It is also very filling to have it too!!
Price：160yen（tax included)
Kintsuba
This Kintsuba also use small beans from Tokatsu, Hokkaido. They put the coating and baked it. It is not that sweet, and I recommend for people who loves red beans. It matches with brown tea and Japanese tea.
Price：140yen(tax included)
Lawson have more original sweets than Family Mart, that Family Mart have more traditional Japanese sweets！
