Just Dropped: 7-Eleven's Uji Matcha Nama Dorayaki — $2 Only 🍵 🇯🇵

Heading to Japan? Most tourists walk past the 7-Eleven sweets shelf. Don't. 🍵 7-Eleven Japan's Seven Premium just dropped a limited two-layer Uji matcha nama dorayaki — and the matcha is the legendary Kyoto tier (same grade as Tsujiri/Ippodo). Most tourists skip dorayaki at conbini (convenience store) because it looks like a basic dorayaki (sweet pancake stuffed with red-bean paste called anko) — but this one isn't filled with red beans. It's two layers of real Uji matcha — paste on the bottom, whipped cream on top — between fluffy pancake buns. I don't usually buy dorayaki at conbini. But this one. It's actually serious. ✅ Why locals pick this dorayaki: - 🍵 Two layers of Uji matcha — paste + whipped cream (no red beans, no basic anko) - 🥞 Fluffy pancake buns slightly sweet — anchor for the matcha layers - 💰 ¥240 (~$1.60 USD) — under $2, Uji matcha at this price exists nowhere else - 🆕 新発売 (New Release) — limited at 7-Eleven Japan, while supplies last - 📍 Available nationwide at any 7-Eleven Japan ❌ Why tourists usually skip it: - Looks like a basic anko dorayaki from outside (green package, easy to miss) - 7-Eleven sweets shelf gets ignored vs. the famous tamago sando / onigiri - Not on any "Top 10 Japan must-eat" tourist list — locals know, tourists don't 💰 Price: ¥240 (~$1.60 USD / £1.30 GBP / A$2.40 AUD) 📍 Where to buy: Any 7-Eleven Japan — green package with white band, "二層の宇治抹茶生どら焼" ✍️ BUY or BYE?: BUY ✅ if you're in Japan right now and you've been skipping conbini sweets thinking they're basic. This isn't basic. Uji matcha at this price exists nowhere else in the world. The "新発売" badge means new — but new releases at 7-Eleven Japan rotate fast, so don't bookmark this for "next trip" — go now. What's the most underrated thing you've found at a Japanese 7-Eleven?
