Japanese convenience store chain Lawson has announced its much-anticipated collaboration with the world-renowned Belgian luxury chocolate brand, Godiva. This winter, three new decadent sweets, perfect for any chocolate lover, will hit the shelves in stores all across Japan starting Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
Sweets from Japanese convenience stores are famous for their high quality and creativity. Lawson’s private brand, “Uchi Café,” is particularly popular for offering authentic, café-quality desserts that can be enjoyed with ease.
This latest collaboration with Godiva is a perfect example of what the Uchi Café brand does best. This popular annual project has become a winter staple that many dessert fans look forward to. It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience flavors supervised by world-class chocolatiers at an incredibly affordable price. Why not take this chance to delve into the rich and unique culture of Japanese convenience stores?
Uchi Café × GODIVA Doramocchi Double Chocolat
First up is the “Uchi Café × GODIVA Doramocchi Double Chocolat.” It will be available from the evening of Tuesday, December 9, 2025, for 400 yen (tax included).
“Doramocchi” is a hugely popular Lawson sweet—a modern twist on the traditional Japanese confection, “dorayaki.” Its most distinctive feature, as the name implies, is the surprisingly chewy texture of its pancake shell, reminiscent of mochi (rice cake).
This special pancake is generously filled with two types of chocolate fillings created under Godiva’s supervision. One is a rich, bittersweet chocolate sauce, while the other is an exceptionally smooth chocolate cream. The depth of flavor created by this dual-layer structure is simply divine. With just one bite, the rich aroma and deep cocoa flavor will fill your mouth. It’s a unique treat, exclusive to this collaboration, that masterfully fuses Japanese and Western confectionery traditions.
Uchi Café × GODIVA Petit Noël Chocolat
Next up is the “Uchi Café × GODIVA Petit Noël Chocolat,” a perfect treat for the Christmas season. It will also be released around the evening of Tuesday, December 9, 2025, priced at 592 yen (tax included). (Note: The price in the Okinawa region will be 646 yen, tax included.)
“Noël” is the French word for Christmas, and true to its name, this sweet has a gorgeous appearance like a miniature Christmas cake. The rich aroma woven from chocolate and praline (caramelized roasted nuts) creates a more mature, sophisticated flavor profile.
The cake is adorned with toppings that provide a pleasing textural contrast, keeping each bite interesting. It’s the perfect special chocolate cake to brighten the holiday season, ideal for enjoying as a personal luxury or for sharing with someone special.
Uchi Café × GODIVA Melting Chocolate Tart
The final item is the “Uchi Café × GODIVA Melting Chocolate Tart.” It will be released on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, for 430 yen (tax included). (Note: It will be available in the evening in the Aomori and Akita regions, and will not be sold in the Okinawa region.)
True to its name, this chocolate tart has been crafted to achieve a texture that simply melts in your mouth. A crisp tart crust is generously topped with the superior, rich chocolate cream that is a signature of Godiva.
The deep, bittersweet chocolate flavor is truly sophisticated, making it a great choice even for those who don’t typically favor very sweet desserts. Enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a heartwarming, blissful moment during the cold Japanese winter. It’s an outstanding value, offering a genuine chocolate experience conveniently.
These sweets are available for a limited time only. If you’re in Japan, don’t miss this special collaboration. Stop by your local Lawson to experience the world-famous taste of Godiva, elevated by the renowned quality of Japanese convenience store desserts.
