It has grown on me!: 10 Popular 7-Eleven Convenience Store-Brand Snacks and Candies

Japanese 7-Eleven Convenience Store-Brand Snacks and Candies

If you have ever visited 7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan, you have probably noticed that Japanese convenience stores are very different from American ones. Japanese convenience stores sell delicious meals like sushi and bento and amazing fresh coffee which tastes better than Starbucks coffee in my opinion. They also sell many kinds of affordable store-brand products such as their popular confectioneries. If you are planning on visiting Japan, you should check convenience stores there. They are really amazing!

Last winter, my husband went to Japan for his business trip and purchased these 7-Eleven convenience store-brand confectioneries which have many positive reviews in Japan. Today, I'm going to share with you 10 popular confectioneries you can find at 7-Elven in Japan.

2. しっとりチョコ
Chocolate Corn Puffs
108 yen

しっとりチョコ Chocolate Corn Puffs

This 7-Eleven store-brand chocolate corn puff is actually made by Riska (リスカ), a famous Japanese confectionary company making very popular Umaibo. That's why this 7-Eleven one is exactly same with Riska chocolate corn puffs. (They are the same product in different packaging.) Next time, I would like to try matcha chocolate one. :)

This 7-Eleven store-brand baked chocolate is made by Tohato (東ハト), which is also a famous Japanese confectionary company making very popular Tohato Caramel Corn. I cannot believe that this baked chocolate is only 108 yen!

4. ザクザク食感のブラックブロックチョコ
Chocolate Cookie Bars

ザクザク食感のブラックブロックチョコ Chocolate Cookie Bars

Many Japanese people review that this 7-Eleven chocolate cookie bar tastes similar to Black Thunder (ブラックサンダー). As I mentioned in my previous entry, Black Thunder - Popular Japanese Chocolate Bar, Black Thunder is a Japanese chocolate bar and is incredibly popular for Taiwanese people.

5. 鈴カステラ
Bell-Shaped Castella
108 yen

鈴カステラ Bell-Shaped Castella

This is bell-shaped castella. When I was a child, my grandmother sometimes purchased bell-shaped castella at a supermarket. That's why before trying this castella, I thought that it's grandmother's confectionery, but I was really surprised that it tasted so much better than the one I used to eat in Japan. It's fluffy and has subtle condensed milk flavor.

6. ベルギーワッフル
Belgian Waffle
118 yen

ベルギーワッフル Belgian Waffle

This is my favorite Belgian waffle. This is made by Rozen Manneken, the most famous Belgian waffle confectionary company in Japan. When I lived in Osaka, I sometimes purchased freshly baked Belgian waffle at Manneken. Many of Manneken stores are located in train stations. I am glad that they sell Belgian waffle at convenience stores too.
