Lawson is launching a noteworthy new sweet: the “Rivière-Supervised Earl Grey Scented Pear Tart.” This is a special creation supervised by “Rivière,” a beloved patisserie in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture. Combining Earl Grey, often called the queen of teas, with juicy pears, this tart is perfect for an autumn tea time. A rare opportunity has arrived to easily enjoy the taste of a famous Kansai patisserie at Lawson stores in the Kanto-Koshinetsu area.
Supervised by Rivière: An Earl Grey-Scented Pear Tart
The new “Rivière-Supervised Earl Grey Scented Pear Tart” will be released on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Priced at an affordable 289 yen (tax included), it’s a great chance to try an authentic taste. The moment you open the package, the gorgeous, floral fragrance of bergamot from the Earl Grey tea wafts out. On top of the tart crust sits a gently sweetened pear compote, giving it an elegant appearance. With one bite, the crisp texture of the tart, the rich flavor of the tea, and the juicy sweetness of the pear harmonize perfectly in your mouth. The tea flavor is prominent, making it an enjoyable treat for those who dislike overly sweet desserts—a flavor profile for a more mature palate. This is a product that promises a quality far exceeding that of a typical convenience store sweet, almost like one from a specialty shop.
Supervised by Hyogo’s “Rivière,” Known for Its Hard-to-Get Sweets
This tart is supervised by “Rivière,” a long-established patisserie founded in 1982 in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture. It is not only immensely popular locally but is also known as a famous shop that attracts keen attention from sweets fans nationwide. Particularly famous are its “Langue de Chat” cookies, which come in a cute blue tin featuring a cat. Their popularity is so immense that they draw long lines day after day at department store events and are known for being difficult to obtain, selling out instantly on the official online store. The “Langue de Chat” is a specialty improved by the second-generation chef, who inherited the recipe from the previous generation and added homemade vanilla sugar. Its light, crisp texture and rich flavor have captivated many people. “Rivière” is highly regarded not only for its baked goods but also for its beautiful fresh cakes made with seasonal fruits, and it’s clear that all their products are made with great care. It is because this tart is supervised by such a capable and popular patisserie that expectations are so high for Lawson’s new sweet.
Available Only in the Kanto-Koshinetsu Area!
This special “Earl Grey Scented Pear Tart” is available exclusively at Lawson stores in the Kanto-Koshinetsu area (Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Niigata, Yamanashi, and Nagano prefectures). This is an extremely valuable opportunity to savor the taste of a famous Kansai patisserie in and around the Kanto region. However, potential buyers should be aware that even within this area, it is not available at stores in Iida City and Shimoina-gun in Nagano Prefecture, nor at Natural Lawson stores. Additionally, product delivery times may vary by store, so it might not be on the shelves in the morning on the release date. Given that it’s a regional exclusive supervised by a popular shop, it is expected to sell out quickly. If you see it, we recommend grabbing it without hesitation.
As autumn deepens and we long for warm drinks, why not enjoy the taste of a famous Hyogo patisserie, a flavor not easily accessible, in the comfort of your home or office? The elegant harmony of rich Earl Grey and pear is sure to turn your usual tea time into a slightly more special moment. Look for this special sweet encounter at your local Lawson.
