MILK STAR Sandwich: A New Sensation

The Japanese dessert brand MILK STAR, a venture by HiOLI and led by President Akira Hiraoka, is set to launch an exciting new product, the MILK STAR Sandwich, on June 13. Crafted to celebrate the unique flavors of milk, this delightful buttercream treat will be available at Lawson stores across the Kanto and Koshinetsu regions including Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Niigata, Yamanashi, and Nagano.

Unique Flavors to Enjoy

The MILK STAR Sandwich comes in three distinct varieties: Milk, Rum Raisin, and Japanese Black Tea Earl Grey.

• - Milk: Made using a rich blend of condensed milk and skim milk powder, this buttercream flavor brings a nostalgic essence reminiscent of milk caramel.
• - Rum Raisin: This sandwich features small currants, known as calimyrnas, soaked in rum, offering a burst of sweet and slightly tangy notes combined with the decadent buttercream.
• - Japanese Black Tea Earl Grey: Infused with Uji’s exquisite black tea, this variety promises a luxurious aroma and flavor that melds perfectly with the creamy texture.

With a focus on the marriage of perfectly baked cookies and luscious buttercream, each sandwich is designed to offer a lasting, indulgent finish. The cookies are firm yet yield as they melt in your mouth, delineating a delightful contrast that enhances your experience.

Perfect for Every Occasion

These treats, priced at 310 yen each (excluding tax), combine elegance with convenience, making them ideal for a quick snack or a well-deserved reward during your busy day. The robust flavors and textures cater to diverse palates and occasions, from casual breaks to special moments.

Selling Locations and Availability

The MILK STAR Sandwich will be sold at various Lawson convenience stores in the specified regions, but it will not be available at Natural Lawson outlets. Be mindful that availability may vary depending on the location, and the product might be removed from some stores at any time without notice. Mark your calendars, as this scrumptious treat will be available for one month starting from June 13, 2025.
