Japan’s Must-Buy Supermarket Dessert: GODIVA Cake Roll Launches Its Third Edition

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department, compiled and reported

Japanese convenience stores often release delicious and intriguing trending products. The leading convenience store brand, LAWSON, after previously collaborating twice with the renowned chocolate brand GODIVA to launch popular items, has once again rolled out a third edition on September 5. The product caused a sensation online upon its release, with its viral sharing power sparking a buying frenzy. Many travelers currently in Japan also took the opportunity to try the limited-time and limited-quantity GODIVA chocolate tart and cake.

This third collaboration between LAWSON and GODIVA introduces two sweet treats at once: a chocolate tart and a cake. The chocolate tart features layers from top to bottom of mirror glaze chocolate, chocolate ganache, nut chocolate, and an outer shell made of citrus-scented cocoa tart crust. The rich, smooth chocolate paired with the crisp tart shell creates a multi-layered texture that many find irresistible.

The chocolate cake combines chocolate, mousse, crumbs, and sponge cake, resulting in a dense and rich texture with lower sweetness. As a limited-time and limited-quantity item, it sold out quickly within just a few days of launch, leaving many customers exclaiming, “I couldn’t get one!” Those planning to visit Japan soon and wanting to try it should grab it as soon as they see it on the shelves.
