Purple bread, all in my Japanese convenience store sweets<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n With Valentine\u2019s Day chocolate being such a big deal in Japan, it\u2019s generally a bad idea to try to tempt people with any sort of non-chocolate sweets during the first half of February. There\u2019s simply too much chocolatey goodness out there to compete with.<\/p>\n But once we get past February 14? Then the sweets schedule opens up considerably, and rushing to fill our about-to-expand dessert needs is 7-Eleven Japan<\/strong>. You won\u2019t find this new treat next to the cookies or in the ice cream cooler, though, because it\u2019s a sandwich<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Arriving next week is the Blueberry Sandwich<\/strong>, 7-Eleven\u2019s latest entry into Japan\u2019s fruit sandwich genre<\/a>. The filling of blueberries and cream cheese<\/strong> looks enticing on its own, but what really makes this eye-catching is the purple bread<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re yet to have the pleasure of biting into a Japanese fruit sandwich, they\u2019re definitely not savory in terms of flavor profile, but they\u2019re not as sweet or rich as a slice of cake. That sweet-but-not-too-sweet balance is what 7-Eleven is going for here as well, and after looking at sales data for fruit sandwiches, the chain found that they\u2019re a popular evening purchase with younger shoppers<\/strong>, so it\u2019s pitching the Blueberry Sandwich as a \u201cnighttime comfort\u201d food<\/strong>, an easy-to-enjoy sweet snack to reward yourself with after putting in a solid day\u2019s effort at school or work.<\/p>\n The Blueberry Sandwich, priced at 328 yen (US$2.10), goes on sale February 18. And if you\u2019re bummed about the Valentine\u2019s chocolate season ending, we\u2019ve got a super-easy recipe to make some sake chocolates of your own with<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source. images: PR Times<\/a><\/em> Purple bread, all in my Japanese convenience store sweets.
