Matcha-Filled Pancake Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

7-Eleven Japan's Stacked Dorayaki Has a Thick Matcha Cream Center

— March 20, 2019 — Lifestyle
Dorayaki is a popular Japanese confection that uses two small patties to form a pancake sandwich of sorts. Although this type of treat is often filled with sweet red bean paste, 7-Eleven Japan is now offering a new line of dorayaki with a thick matcha cream filling.

Although there is usually so little filling in these pancake sandwiches that the patties are able to touch one another, this towering new offering from 7-Eleven stands tall, making it more cake-like than usual and best eaten with a fork. As matcha is known for its slightly bitter taste, the unconventional confection provides a taste that's not too sweet.

For fans of dorayaki, cakes, matcha and not-too-sweet treats, this convenience store treat provides unique new tastes and textures to discover.
Trend Themes
1. Thick Matcha Cream Fillings - The trend of using thick matcha cream fillings in confections offers a unique flavor experience.
2. Cake-like Pancake Sandwiches - The trend of creating cake-like pancake sandwiches provides a new texture for consumers to enjoy.
3. Not-too-sweet Treats - The trend of offering not-too-sweet treats appeals to consumers who prefer less sugary options.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - The confectionery industry can explore the use of thick matcha cream fillings in their products to cater to matcha enthusiasts.
2. Convenience Stores - Convenience stores can capitalize on the trend of cake-like pancake sandwiches to offer unique and indulgent treats.
3. Bakery - Bakeries can tap into the trend of not-too-sweet treats to attract customers seeking a balance between sweetness and other flavors.
