Each prefecture in Japan has its own claim to fame when it comes to locally produced products. Whether it’s lemons or sea salt, you’re sure to find something delicious sprinkled around the country. With this in mind, the Lawson chain of convenience stores has just announced eight roll cakes that each feature two different flavors from across Japan.

Starting October 1, Lawson will begin selling their eight locally sourced “half & half” cream cakes for 180 to 230 yen (US$1.80 to $2.30). Let’s take a look at the unique flavor combinations:
