Japan’s convenience store dessert sections are once again buzzing with exciting new products. From the “Absurdly Delicious Brownie” series, which has sold over 21 million units, two new winter-perfect flavors have arrived. Starting Tuesday, December 2, 2025, they will be available at 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and other stores all across Japan.
This season’s lineup features the series’ first-ever ‘Absurdly Delicious Crème Brûlée Brownie’ and the return of last year’s hit, the ‘Absurdly Delicious Tiramisu Brownie’. Both are themed around sophisticated desserts and are sure to make your winter tea time extra special.
In Japan, the release of seasonal limited-edition flavors is one of the great joys of its food culture. Convenience stores, in particular, are beloved by many as a place to casually experience the latest trends.
A Luxurious Treat! Introducing the First-Ever ‘Absurdly Delicious Crème Brûlée Brownie’
Making its debut in the series is the ‘Absurdly Delicious Crème Brûlée Brownie.’ It masterfully captures the essence of the classic French dessert in a brownie format.
Upon opening the package, a sweet custard aroma gently wafts out. The brownie dough is infused with a mellow custard flavor and sandwiches a fragrant caramel sauce. With the first bite, the gentle sweetness of the moist brownie and the slight bitterness of the caramel melt together perfectly, creating a deep flavor that can only be described as an “edible crème brûlée.”
This rich flavor pairs exceptionally well with coffee or tea. It’s the perfect treat for a break on a busy day or as a special reward for yourself. Priced at an affordable 198 JPY (213 JPY with tax), it’s an easy indulgence.
The elegant gold-themed packaging also makes it a delightful small gift for the holiday season.
A Fan Favorite Returns! The Rich and Bittersweet ‘Absurdly Delicious Tiramisu Brownie’
The ‘Absurdly Delicious Tiramisu Brownie,’ which captivated many fans last year, is making a comeback this winter. This is a slightly more mature brownie that recreates the bittersweet and creamy taste of the king of Italian desserts, tiramisu.
The dough is infused with coffee flavor and enveloped in the richness of mellow cheese. For an extra touch, white chocolate chips and mascarpone-flavored chips are added, providing a delightful textural contrast. When you take a bite, the bitter aroma of coffee and the richness of cheese unite, creating a deep, tiramisu-like flavor that spreads through your mouth.
Its moist texture and moderate sweetness are perfect for a relaxing break. This one is also priced at 198 JPY (213 JPY with tax) and features an eye-catching, high-class package design. If you find one at a Japanese convenience store, why not give it a try?
What is the ‘Absurdly Delicious Chocolate Brownie’ Series?
This brownie series was originally born in 2018 at a bakery called “Heart Bread ANTIQUE.” As its name suggests, its defining feature is a quality so good that they can confidently call it “absurdly delicious.”
The original ‘Absurdly Delicious Chocolate Brownie’ features a rich, original chocolate dough packed with as many chocolate chips as possible before being baked. Its unique “choco, crunchy, crunchy!” texture is unforgettable and has captivated chocolate lovers everywhere.
It has established itself as a go-to authentic dessert that can be easily purchased at convenience stores and supermarkets.
