Japanese convenience stores (Konbini) are more than just grocery shops. They are a “treasure trove of sweets” where new desserts appear almost weekly. Major chain Lawson is particularly famous for its “Uchi Café” brand, offering sweets of quality that rival specialty shops.
On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, Lawson will release a special collection: a collaboration with GODIVA, the Belgian royal family’s official chocolate supplier. Titled “Special Chocolate,” this series offers an intensely rich and aromatic chocolate experience unlike anything typically found in convenience stores. It’s the perfect choice for enjoying a touch of luxury on the go.
This collaboration features three types: cake, roll cake, and cream puff. Here are the details for each.
Uchi Café × GODIVA Double Chocolate
First up is a chocolate cake layered with different textures and flavors. The base features a chocolate cake made with cookie dough. On top of that, layers of chocolate whipped cream and ganache cream are stacked. This is a deeply satisfying treat that lets you enjoy multiple chocolate textures and flavors all at once.
Product Information Release date: Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Price: ¥486 (tax included).
*Not available in the Okinawa area. In the Aomori and Akita areas, it will be released in the evening.
Uchi Café × GODIVA Double Chocolate Roll Cake
Lawson’s signature popular item, the “Roll Cake,” also arrives in a GODIVA version. This product pursues the rich chocolate flavor and cocoa aroma from the sponge cake to the cream. While simple in appearance, it is a luxurious roll cake where the quality of the ingredients truly shines.

Uchi Café×GODIVA Fondant Cookie Choux
