In late July 2026 Japanese retailers introduced a series of new confectionery items. On July 24, 7‑Eleven rolled out three mochi‑style sweets that quickly gained popularity, led by a vanilla‑topped Mochi‑Vanilla Crepe, followed by a burnt‑chocolate sandwich and a warabi‑mochi milk‑tea dessert. Simultaneously, a wave of “Dubai chocolate mochi” products appeared in stores, blending Middle‑Eastern chocolate flavors with traditional Japanese mochi.

A few days later, on July 27, Tokyo Disney Resort partnered with 7‑Eleven to release a Duffy‑themed gummy candy packaged in a collectible bottle‑shaped case, while 7‑Eleven expanded its “Chocotto Gummy” line with two Okinawan brown‑sugar and tropical‑fruit flavors. These launches illustrate a broader trend of Japanese convenience‑store chains and theme‑park brands diversifying snack offerings through novel flavors, cross‑cultural collaborations, and collectible packaging.
