This is a fun new sandwich variation available from Lawson, which tries to emulate the flavors of a tiramisu between two slices of bread. There's a regular whipped cream, and a cream cheese with coffee flavoring to it, and overall the taste is very good! As a fan of most things coffee flavored I really enjoyed this, and thought it was a unique offering -- particularly if you're not really keen on the classic fruit sando but want a sweet sandwich variant. The portion size is decent and it's quite filling, too. Overall I'd say it's worth trying if you're after a sandwich-style sweet treat.

For me, the biggest downside to this was how pricey it was for what equates to some bread with cream fillings. I definitely think that price-wise, it'd be more appropriate around the 250-275 yen mark rather than the 320-ish yen range, and I think basing it on price alone I wouldn't be going out of my way to purchase it again. That point aside, I still think it's worth trying at least once if you are a fan of tiramisu or coffee flavored things. I liked it, and would give it 4 out of 5 stars for taste, but probably only 3 out of 5 if we were basing it on value for money overall. Go give it a try if it sounds good to you!
