The amazing balance between sweet and bitter! A thorough report of Seven Eleven’s Matcha Sweets Vol. 2

This time is Vol. 2 of the Seven Eleven’s matcha sweets!
Have you read Vol. 1?
If you haven’t, please take a look at that too!

Uses Marukyu Koyamaen’s Matcha: Uji Matcha Cream Pie

First, I will introduce the “Uji Matcha Cream Pie”!
Similar to the matcha sweets I introduced in Vol. 1, these matcha sweets in Vol. 2 use matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen.
I have never tried a matcha pie before, so I am very excited!

When you take it out of the bag, you can smell the sweet scent of the pie.

I tried splitting it in half, but the cream is so soft it was as if the whole pie could crumble apart.
The pie is crispy and sweet.
The cream does not have a strong matcha taste, so it goes very well with the sweet pie.
The Uji Matcha Cream Pie is sold for 200 yen (tax included) at Seven Elevens in Kanto, Kōshin’etsu, Hokuritsu, Tōkai, Kinki, Chūgoku, and Kyushu regions of Japan.

Uses Marukyu Koyamaen’s Matcha: Uji Matcha Japanese Omelette

Next, I will introduce the “Uji Matcha Japanese Omelette”!

The entire dessert is green.
Inside the matcha pancake-patty, there is matcha cream, matcha sauce, and smooth red bean paste.

The pancake patty has a nice, mochi-like texture, and although the dessert is quite green, it is not that bitter.
The matcha cream and the red bean paste are both sweet, but they go very well together.
In addition, the slightly bitter matcha sauce balances all of the flavors out.
The Uji Matcha Japanese Omelette is 160 yen (tax included).

Uses Marukyu Koyamaen’s Matcha: Rich Uji Matcha Roll Cake

Lastly, I will introduce the “Rich Uji Matcha Roll Cake”!

When you take it out of its packaging, you will get to see a dark green roll cake!
With 3 layers (cake, matcha sauce, matcha cream), the matcha sauce is quite bitter.
The matcha cream is a little bitter too.

The cake is fluffy and moist, and the cream is not heavy at all.
It was very easy to eat, and I couldn’t stop my fork.
Personally, I like the taste of bitter matcha, so I loved this roll cake.
When I say bitter, I don’t mean an unpleasant bitterness, but a nice bittersweetness.
I think that children would enjoy this as well.
This roll cake is 210 yen (tax included).
And that was Vol. 2 of Seven Eleven’s matcha sweets!
When the matcha sweets are lined up on the shelves, their green packaging really catches your eye.
From sweet to slightly bitter desserts, there is a wide variety to choose from, so I hope you try some out.
Japan’s convenience store sweets continue to impress us.
Not only are there matcha flavored sweets, but there are seasonal sweets and sweets with cute characters as well.
Please try them out when you come to Japan!
