Top 10 Recommended Delicious Breads Sold at Seven Eleven Convenience Stores in Japan

If you're going to Japan, one of the must-visit places is definitely the convenience stores. Japanese convenience stores sell a wide variety of food. Moreover, with their high quality, they're popular among locals and tourists alike. Japanese convenience store bread is made in factories, but it's known for its high quality. So, if you're in Japan, you should definitely try any kind of bread. Today, I'd like to recommend some bread from Seven Eleven.

Corn Mayo Bread (つぶつぶコーンマヨネーズ)

• 160 yen (including tax 172.80 yen)

This Corn Mayo Bread is eye-catching with its hot dog bun filled with corn cheese. It's even more delicious when heated in a microwave. The mayonnaise melts, making the bread chewier, and the corn's nutty flavor adds depth. It's high in calories, enough to be a meal in itself, so be careful if you're watching your calorie intake.

Seven Eleven Nostalgic Corn Bread (コーンマヨネーズパン)

• 150 yen (including tax 162 yen)

Similar to the Corn Mayo Bread, this one has a perfect balance of the moderate sweetness of mayonnaise and the crispness of corn, making it addictive. Corn is notoriously high in calories, which is why this bread is both satisfying and delicious. It's generously filled with corn and a thick layer of mayonnaise filling. The ends of the bread are slightly toasted, offering a pleasant aroma of wheat and a subtle fermented scent. The combination of the mayonnaise filling, the crunchy texture of the corn kernels, and the base bread is truly a delicious match. Since it contains mayonnaise and corn, it tastes even better when heated in the microwave.

Seven Eleven Plenty of Walnuts Bread 7 (プレミアム　くるみパン)

• 178 yen (including tax 192.24 yen)

This is a walnut bread with a subtle sweetness made with whole wheat flour. The crunchy texture of the walnuts and the coarse whole wheat flour add a healthy touch. It comes in a small size with 4 pieces. Recommended for breakfast or a snack every day.

Seven Eleven Chocolate Cream Sticky Rice Bread (国産小麦使用チョコクリームのちぎりパン)

• 150 yen (including tax 162 yen)

This Seven Eleven sticky rice bread has a very soft dough and is filled with chocolate cream and plenty of chocolate chips. The chocolate cream is really sweet, and the chocolate chips, while not crunchy, offer a nice texture. The bread dough itself isn't overly sweet, making it a flavor that even children would enjoy.

Seven Eleven Hokkaido Red Bean Bread (国産小麦使用練乳ミルクフランス)

• 138 yen (including tax 149.04 yen)

This bread has a fluffy texture that melts in your mouth, with a red bean paste that boasts a rich flavor and margarine with a subtle salty taste. The red beans are from Hokkaido, giving it a richer sweetness and flavor. One minor drawback, if you can call it that, is the high calorie count. But delicious food is often high in calories! Therefore, this bread is bound to be delicious.

Seven Eleven Condensed Milk Milk French (国産小麦使用練乳ミルクフランス)

• 158 yen (including tax 170.64 yen)

This is a soft French bread made with domestic wheat, filled with condensed milk cream. The bread itself is firm yet soft inside, providing a good chew, and it's very simple, without excessive sweetness or saltiness. It has a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with anything. The cream is rich and milky, making it a high-quality option among convenience store breads. If you heat it in the microwave, the bread becomes fluffy and the condensed milk cream melts, making it even more delicious.

Seven Eleven Mochi Mochi Roll (Chocolate Cream) 国産小麦使用チョコクリームのちぎりパン

• 150 yen (including tax 162 yen)

This Seven Eleven Mochi Mochi Roll is a soft, non-dry white bread filled with a sweet chocolate cream. Surprisingly, the chocolate cream has a rich and sweet flavor, and it also contains chocolate chips. That's probably why it's high in calories.

Fuwatto Dora (Dorayaki) (ふわっとどら　つぶあん＆ホイップ)

• 250 yen (including tax 270 yen)

When you think of Dorayaki, doesn't Doraemon's favorite bread come to mind? In Korea, it's often called Danpatbang (sweet red bean bread), and it's one of the types of Japanese bread. It's high in calories, but the rich cream and red bean paste harmonize beautifully, and despite being sold at a convenience store, the quality is high. It's said to be as delicious as what you'd find at a proper dessert cafe.

Shiro Mochi Taiyaki (붕어빵) (しろもちたい焼き)

• 148 yen (including tax 159.84 yen)

This is a bread you can only experience in Japan. It's a cute fish-shaped bread with a chewy mochi texture inside, filled with a sweet and rich custard cream. Besides custard, it's also available in chocolate cream flavor.

At 230kcal, it's not particularly high in calories for a dessert. By the way, Taiyaki in Japanese can be considered the equivalent of Korea's Bungeoppang (fish-shaped cake). Please note that it's not sold at every store, only at larger stores.

Seven Eleven Egg Steamed Bun (７プレミアム　たまご蒸しパン)

• 100 yen (including tax 108 yen)

This is a moist steamed bun. You can taste the natural sweetness of the eggs. It contains egg yolks, making it rich, soft, and sweet, with a custard-like flavor. It's not very big, but it's surprisingly high in calories at 395kcal. Delicious food tends to be high in calories, so it's okay to indulge a little while traveling, right?

This concludes our recommendations for delicious bread from Seven Eleven in Japan.
