Last week we took a look at some bentos in the local convenience stores. This week is a mix of sweet and more sweet.

Quite a few of the convenience stores are trying to improve their line of sweet breads at the moment. Some have launched new brands and improving the display areas. Fresh cream filled breads are kept in refrigerated shelving areas.

If Yuzu is not your thing, then maybe these chunks of ginger? The flavor was ok, but it was a bot too sugary for me. Less sugar, more ginger would be better.

Something you can't eat, Rilakkuma and friends. This is from the Rilakkuma Onsen series. There are a total of 7 in the set to collect.Photo dataCameraApple iPhone 3GAperturef/2.8Taken30 Nov 2009, 20:57

What do you think about the increase in sweet breads with fresh cream / custard? Do you think it is a passing trend, or a long term seller for conbini's?
