Japanese convenience store chain Lawson is launching three supersized desserts as part of its “Super Happy Challenge” promotion, which begins on November 17, 2026. The campaign offers larger portions of popular products without raising prices, with the first dessert arriving on November 16.

Convenience stores, known as konbini in Japan, are popular destinations for affordable, ready-to-eat sweets. Lawson’s Uchi Café dessert line is particularly well known for its cakes and other sweet treats. The new products will be available at Lawson stores in Japan, subject to availability.
Starting on the evening of November 16, Lawson will introduce the “Morisugi! Uchi Café Premium Roll Cake.” The word Morisugi roughly translates to “too much” or “overloaded,” reflecting the campaign’s extra-generous portions. The roll cake weighs approximately 50% more than the regular version. Made with 100% Hokkaido-sourced fresh cream, it offers a light, fluffy texture that melts smoothly in the mouth. Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island, is especially famous for its dairy products. Lawson expects to be able to supply approximately 3.77 million servings.
The “Morisugi! Uchi Café Baschee – Basque-Style Cheesecake” will follow on the evening of November 23. Also approximately 50% heavier than the original, this cheesecake combines Hokkaido fresh cream, three types of cream cheese, and milk. By using different temperatures for the top and bottom heating elements during baking, Lawson creates a smooth, creamy interior and a fragrant, caramelized surface. “Baschee” is the product’s Japanese nickname, derived from Basque-style cheesecake. Approximately 1.69 million servings can be supplied.
On November 24, Lawson will release the “Morisugi! Uchi Café Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chocolate Crepe.” Unlike the other two desserts, this version increases the amounts of chocolate whipped cream and chocolate sauce by approximately 50%, rather than increasing the total weight. A soft, cocoa-flavored crepe wraps around a rich sauce made with 60% cacao chocolate and cream containing Belgian chocolate, along with whipped nama chocolate. In Japan, nama chocolate refers to a particularly smooth, rich, ganache-like chocolate confection. Lawson expects to supply approximately 1.47 million servings. This product will not be sold in Okinawa Prefecture.
Although all three desserts feature an approximately 50% increase, the changes are not identical. The roll cake and Basque-style cheesecake offer larger overall portions, while the chocolate crepe focuses on providing more of its rich chocolate fillings. By tailoring the increase to each dessert’s defining characteristics, Lawson offers different ways for customers in Japan to enjoy a more indulgent treat without paying more.
