Japanese convenience store chain, Seven-Eleven, is set to release yet another unique product. Starting Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the “Korean-Style Burrito: Sausage & Mochi,” a bold twist on the popular Korean street food “Sotteok-sotteok,” will begin appearing in stores across Japan.
The combination of the classic Mexican burrito and a beloved Korean street food is an appetizing thought in itself. This product is the latest addition to Seven-Eleven’s “Asian Flavor” series, hinting at new possibilities in culinary culture.
What is “Sotteok-sotteok,” the Taste of Korean Street Food?
“Sotteok-sotteok” is a highly popular skewer dish found at Korean street stalls. It features sausages (Sosage) and rice cakes (tteok) skewered alternately, then grilled and coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The name itself comes from the combination of these two ingredients.
Its greatest appeal lies in the contrasting textures of crispy sausage and chewy rice cake. Its easy-to-eat, one-handed style has earned immense popularity, especially among young people. In Japan, its recognition has grown with the Korean food boom, making it a beloved dish for many.

Recreating the Texture Contrast in a Burrito
For this product, instead of skewering, flat rice cakes and long sausages are arranged side-by-side and wrapped in the tortilla. This ingenious method ensures that every bite offers both the juiciness of the sausage and the chewiness of the mochi, creating the unique textural harmony characteristic of Sotteok-sotteok in your mouth.
Rich, Addictive Sweet and Spicy Sauce
The key to its flavor is, of course, the sweet and spicy sauce. A rich, gochujang (Korean chili paste)-based sauce enhances the savory taste of the sausage and the gentle sweetness of the mochi. Its slightly spicy and rich flavor is perfect for the colder season ahead. It’s sure to be addictively delicious.
Seven-Eleven’s Dedication to Burritos, Over 40 Years in the Making
Seven-Eleven’s burritos have been a long-selling product, loved by many fans since their debut in 1983. The secret to their deliciousness lies in their meticulous production method.
The burrito tortillas are carefully kneaded from flour and baked in a specialized factory. And the process of wrapping each ingredient is done by hand. By carefully rolling them by hand instead of relying solely on machines, that unique texture—fluffy yet densely packed with ingredients—is achieved.
This accumulated expertise over many years supports the new challenge of this “Korean-Style Burrito.”
Furthermore, the colorful packaging, designed for each flavor, is another reason for the popularity of Seven-Eleven’s burritos. This new product also features eye-catching, pop designs inspired by Korea.
