In this video, Dig Dig JAPAN showcases ten distinctive Japanese sweets that can be conveniently purchased at an unmanned (self-service) sweets shop. These stores, which operate around the clock without staff, are an emerging trend in Japan, providing easy access to high-quality and unique desserts any time of day. The video highlights how unmanned shops are making it simple to experience an array of delicious Japanese sweets that would traditionally be available only at specialty cafes or patisseries.
The selection ranges from classic favorites like fruit shortcake, roll cake, and crème brûlée, to innovative confections such as non-fried donuts and rich fromage. The presenter gives viewers a look at the texture, presentation, and taste of each item, including specialties like apple pie, baked chocolate cake, pudding à la mode, cookie cream puff, and stylish cupcakes. Each sweet emphasizes Japan’s dedication to aesthetics, seasonal ingredients, and creative pastry techniques.
A noteworthy feature of this video is its introduction of the unmanned shopping experience—a concept that continues to gain popularity, especially for frozen sweets and ready-to-eat treats. These stores contribute to Japan’s growing adoption of efficient, contactless retail that benefits both locals and tourists seeking unique food adventures.
For food lovers planning to visit Japan or those interested in modern Japanese food culture, this video offers a window into the rich dessert landscape and the convenience of 24-hour unmanned shops.
