FamilyMart's Remarkable Sales Milestone

In just 13 days post-launch, FamilyMart's new 'Mochiri' Cream Bun has reached an astonishing sales figure of 5.33 million units, marking it as a significant hit following the initial success of their fresh bread offerings. Released on April 21, the Mochiri Cream Bun has captivated the hearts of both customers and employees, showcasing FamilyMart's dedication to culinary excellence.

A Flourishing Bakery Series

FamilyMart is celebrating its 45th anniversary in September 2026, and as part of this milestone, the company is embracing its motto, 'the best challenges', aiming to bring the most delicious products to its consumers. The Mochiri series evolves the popular Famima Bakery line into a new realm of texture that's designed to be 'super Mochiri', enticing bread lovers nationwide. With approximately 16,400 stores, this new series has set the stage for tasty competition within the convenience store domain.

Employee Endorsement Signals Success

Before the product’s official launch, FamilyMart conducted an internal survey among 193 employees to taste-test six new products, including the Mochiri Cream Bun. The results were overwhelmingly supportive, with 90% of participants indicating they believed it would sell well post-launch. Out of 124 employees who consistently consume Famima Bakery products, 111 labeled the cream bun as something that would perform strongly in the market, reflecting high internal confidence in its potential success.

The internal feedback highlighted a range of positive comments focused on the bun's density and the harmonious relationship between the dough and cream. Responses included:

• - “Most cream buns feel dry or thin, but this one has a perfect Mochiri texture and is delicious.”
• - “The cream and whipped filling blend beautifully with the dough, offering just the right amount of sweetness to enhance the bread's flavor, making it a versatile choice for snacks or meals.”
• - “This could easily compete with specialty bakery offerings due to its impressive texture and taste.”

Popularity of Other Offerings

Notably, not only did the Mochiri Cream Bun stand out, but the 'Mochiri Caramel Donut' also shone through the survey. When asked which new item was the most recommendable, the Caramel Donut gathered the highest number of votes, underscoring its role as a popular leader within the Mochiri series since its launch.
