Seven-Eleven Japan: Dubai Chocolate Crepe Review (2026)

The latest product I'm excited to share with you is this brand-new dessert.

ドバイチョコスタイルクレープ

(Dubai Chocolate Style Crepe)

The famous Dubai chocolate, which once gained massive popularity even in Korea, has now been reinterpreted by Japanese convenience stores in a crepe form. If you're a fan of new desserts, this is definitely one you'd be curious about, so I decided to try it myself!

According to Seven-Eleven's official description, this product is a crepe inspired by the 'Dubai Chocolate' dessert that originated in Dubai. It's filled with a rich pistachio-flavored ganache and crispy strands, all wrapped up in a delicate crepe. The price is 370 JPY, or approximately $3 including tax (399.60 JPY). For a convenience store dessert, it's on the pricier side.

It was released sequentially starting October 27, 2026. Current sales regions include Ibaraki, Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, and Kanagawa, among others. However, please note that availability may vary by individual Seven-Eleven store, so it's always good to check!

Appearance

Upon opening the package, you're greeted with a crepe coated in chocolate. It’s a perfect size to hold and eat with one hand, making it an ideal snack without being too heavy. When cut in half, you can see the greenish pistachio ganache and sponge, with the crispy strands nestled in the center.

How Does It Taste?

The taste was, of course, the most intriguing part. The outer chocolate coating is sweet with a hint of bitterness, while the crepe itself is soft and moist. The pistachio ganache inside has a smooth, creamy texture, offering a subtle, nutty pistachio flavor.

And the crispy strands in the middle? That's the highlight! The delightful crunch adds a wonderful contrast to the soft crepe and creamy ganache, creating a multi-textured experience in every bite.

However, a slight disappointment, though perhaps unavoidable for a convenience store product, is that it uses simple crispy strands rather than traditional kadaif. It's essentially just fried noodles. So, rather than expecting the exact same taste as the original Dubai chocolate, it’s best to view this as a Japanese convenience store reinterpretation of the Dubai chocolate combination.

Overall Verdict

Personally, I'd describe this as 'a new crepe inspired by the Dubai chocolate concept.' If you're expecting an intensely strong pistachio flavor or the distinct crispiness of kadaif, you might find it a bit underwhelming. Nevertheless, as a new Dubai chocolate-style dessert you can find at a Japanese convenience store, it's definitely worth trying at least once!

If you're exploring Japan and happen to spot it in a Seven-Eleven, satisfy your curiosity and give it a try—it's sweet and delicious!
