Rich and happy...♡ [Ministop] Three sweets you'll want to eat this Christmas
I'm Masayo Sakamoto, a writer who loves convenience store sweets.
This time, we will introduce you to some of the sweets you'll want to eat this Christmas that you can buy at Ministop! These are popular products that will be released in November 2023, as well as Christmas limited edition products that will be released in December.
These special sweets are a great way to treat yourself.
1. The irresistible combination of hot and cold "melting fondant au chocolat"
First up is the "Melting Fondant Chocolate" (388 yen), which has been on sale since November.
The combination of cold soft serve ice cream and warm chocolate fondant is an irresistible "hot and cold sweet."

The vanilla soft serve ice cream is milky yet refreshing and easy to eat! The cocoa powder on top is also rich and gives it a luxurious feel.

Under the soft serve ice cream is a layer similar to a mochi shell.
The nice thing about this is that it prevents the soft serve ice cream from melting too quickly because it is placed between the warm fondant au chocolat.
You can enjoy it slowly!

Beneath that is melting chocolate fondant...! It's so warm that steam rises.

This fondant au chocolat uses "60DAYS Chocolate".
The cacao is made into chocolate within 60 days of harvest in Vietnam, the home of cacao, giving it a fresh taste!
It is a special fondant au chocolat that allows you to enjoy the fruity flavor and aroma.
The light dough is filled with a thick ganache in the middle, and the delicious taste of cacao is condensed into a rich flavor.

This is sure to satisfy even chocolate lovers! We recommend eating the soft serve ice cream and rich chocolate fondant together, but they are also delicious on their own.
Some stores may be out of stock, so if you're interested, be sure to try it as soon as possible.

The matcha cream is made using "Tenkuu no Matcha (R)", tea leaves grown in the mountainous tea fields of Shizuoka Prefecture, and is characterized by its rich aroma and flavor.
Underneath the generous layer of matcha cream is a sponge cake, fresh cream, and matcha cake, in that order.

When you take a bite of each element, the rich flavor of matcha spreads throughout your mouth, creating a perfect balance of bitter and sweet flavors!
The bottom layer of matcha cake is crumbly yet smooth and moist. It's incredibly delicious.
