I'm Masayo Sakamoto, a writer who loves convenience store sweets.

I can't wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom.

Seven-Eleven has released sweets that allow you to enjoy cherry blossoms early.

This time, we will introduce three carefully selected ones!

1: The gorgeous, spring-like appearance is also appealing! "Sakura and Uji Matcha Parfait"

First up is the "Sakura and Uji Matcha Parfait" (324 yen), a Japanese-style parfait that looks spring-like.

From the bottom of the cup, there are three layers: matcha warabi, matcha mousse, and cherry blossom whipped cream.

The toppings are cherry blossom whipped cream, cherry blossom jelly, red and white rice flour dumplings, and dorayaki skin! It's truly luxurious.

The moment you put the cherry blossom jelly and cherry blossom bean paste whipped cream into your mouth, the soft scent of cherry blossoms spreads, making you feel as if spring has suddenly arrived.

The Sakura An Whipped Cream has a strong Sakura An flavor with a hint of saltiness from the cherry leaves, and is delicious, showing the care that went into making it.

The chewy shells of the shiratama dango and dorayaki are a perfect match for the light cherry blossom whipped cream!

The matcha mousse has a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. The rich aroma of matcha fills your mouth, allowing you to enjoy its rich flavor. The bitter matcha warabi underneath balances the flavor of the whole parfait.

Each one was delicious, and when they were combined they were even better! It was a truly luxurious dish.

2: The classic cherry blossom sweet is this! "Sakura Mochi made with red beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido"

Next up is the classic Japanese spring sweet, "Sakura Mochi made with red beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido" (170 yen).

The sakura mochi in its pink packaging is so bright it catches your eye even on store shelves!

It is topped with salted cherry blossoms to add a touch of elegance.

The smooth, fine-grained bean paste made with Hokkaido-grown red beans is a taste that only Seven-Eleven, which is renowned for its delicious bean paste, can offer.

The dough has a chewy yet crumbly texture and a slight saltiness that brings out the sweetness of the smooth bean paste.

The salted cherry blossoms added a nice accent to the dish, and I finished it all in no time.

This is an elegant dish that goes well with green tea.

3: Mini-sized mochi is great! "Spring Three-Color Komochi"

The last item is "Spring Three-Color Komochi (Sakura Mochi, Bean Paste Mochi, Kusa Mochi)" (280 yen).

They're bite-sized and look cute! The colors are perfect for spring.

All of them are filled with smooth, strained bean paste, but the Sakuramochi has a fun, granular texture made from Domyoji flour, the Shiroanmochi has a smooth, creamy texture, and the Kusamochi has a rich mugwort flavor and is chewy.

The three flavors are all completely different, so it's great to be able to taste them all at once!

It has a refined taste with a subtle sweetness, so you can eat it all in no time.
