I picked up this version of Mille Crepe from Lawson as it is different to the version they had in the past. Previously, they had Mille Crepe in a triangular cake slice shape, two in a pack. They may still sell it, but recently I am seeing more of the one reviewed in this post, which is flat and semi-circular. It looks very chic. The crepe layers are soft, moist and delicate. The cream has a pleasant milky flavor, which isn't overly rich. Its sweet, but not too sweet. The best bit about my recent purchase is that I got 50 yen off! The product is 230 yen before tax and 248 with tax included, which is a fair enough price.

While the price is fair enough, you could get a larger, more filling and satisfying cake slice in a supermarket for the same price. Because I got it a discount it felt worth the yen, but I am not sure I would pay the full price for this dessert. It is really nice, don't get me wrong, but it is quite simple and one-dimensional. Also, I felt it could do with a thicker filling. Overall, I liked this Mille Crepe from Lawson's Uchi Cafe, and I will probably buy it again, but I can't see it becoming a regular purchase.
