Pursuing the Best Convenience Store Desserts in Japan
Finding the best sweet treats at Family Mart
In a previous article, I wrote about Japan’s ubiquitous convenience stores, particularly sweet treats from 7-Eleven. In this post, I write about the best desserts at Family Mart.
Family Mart, also known as “Famima,” is one of the Japanese convenience store giants along with 7-Eleven and Lawson with a total of 16,426 stores across the country. There are four Family Marts in my local neighborhood and I often go to them. These are my favorite Family Mart treats.
Mont Blanc with Italian and Japanese Chestnuts
This is Mont Blanc with Italian and Japanese chestnuts. I enjoy its variety of taste and texture with a mixture of Mont Blanc cream, Japanese chestnut paste, and crispy merengue.
Chocolate Orange
This is a sweet using Family Mart’s own original chocolate, “Ecuador Special.” It is topped with orange peels on chocolate mousse with an orange flavor, orange sauce, and chocolate ganache cream.
Pound Cake with Dried Fruit
This is a dried fruit pound cake stuffed with four kinds of fruit.
Chocolate Pound Cake
This is a thick-sliced chocolate pound cake stuffed with chocolate and chocolate chips.
Strawberry Au Lait
I like the soft milk scent and creamy flavor with much body of this strawberry milk drink.
