I have been visiting Japan for about a week now and all of iNok’s recommendation has been really good and honest! One comment about kombinis, they’re all pretty good and can’t go wrong with any of these brands. You can be creative with your food, like putting famichiki or croquet in tamago sando, such a beautiful combination. Thank you Food in Japan 😊
Thank you so much!! one of the problem of making vidoes about Konbini is everything good as you said and most of products are pretty much the same but it's really nice! I always visit there to get lots of food!!
I'm still like 8 months away from my first visit and I am gonna be salivating non-stop from watching your videos. Can't wait! Thank you so much for helping me plan what to experience.
My family just returned from Japan, and we tried many of the foods in this video! My daughter LOVED pizzamon, and was by far her favorite konbini food. For me the egg salad sandwich at 7, and the custard taiyaki fish from Famima were my favorites!! We ate at konbini a lot because of the convenience and price 😊 and loved our time in Japan!!
Thank you for loving Japanese food😁 I hope you had wonderful time in Japan😆 We are always waiting for you to come back and prepare lots of great Japanese food👍
I'm not even ashamed that I lived mostly off 7-11 sandwiches on my trip but we did often do the late night trip to a 7-11, Family Mart and Lawsons to get a picnic for back in the hotel.
Now I'm not embarrassed to admit that 50% of my eating in Japan is from convenience stores, with particular reference to Lawson chicken and 7/11 sandwiches. 😂
I've saved this for my trip to japan next week. During my last trip, we ate a few foods and it was really good especially sandwiches but we forgot which store we bought it. Now with all your recommendations, I'll definitely try all of them. Thank you so much.
We need to have more things from Lawson and family Mart next time we’re in Japan! Some things we loved from 7/11: the mango smoothie, the mini brioche toast, and the assortment of mini packets of furikake! We even bought some of the furikake to bring home as gifts
Fantastic list iNok. Your tier 1 sandwich selection was PERFECT. That combo is literally the first thing I buy when I arrive in Japan on each trip. The hint of wasabe in the mayo of the ham and cucumber sandwich is just incredible.
@@foodinjapan2256 Yes, I think we do! 😁 I think your video just convinced me to book trip number 10 for late November. I was never a Lawson fan, but in my last trip it was much improved, and Family Mart was much worse and left me disappointed. 7eleven and nanachiki are still the greatest though! Shout out to Seicomart and Hot Chef in Hokkaido. The hot food from them is amazing too.
I watched this video before I went a while ago and now I am rediscovering it when I’m back home 😭 I got the minced meat onigiri before at a family mart, I think other stores have been doing that flavor. It was good
Thank you for watching😁 Japanese Convenience store Onigiri is sooooo good😆 we can have seasonal Onigiri so those are also fantastic🤩 I love minced chicken too👍
Thank you for the list! I am flying out this Thursday!! After watching many of your videos, the #1 place I am most excited to try is Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera.
Wow thank you for watching my videos and coming to Japan!! Ginza Onodera is really good. If you still have time to visit, it's worth to visit!! I hope you have lots of more wonderful time in Japan👍
We just got back! Ginza Onodera was an amazing experience! If not for your video, we would have probably never known it existed or what to order. Looking forward to more of your videos! We have booked tickets for Hokkaido in the summertime (it will be our 5th time in Japan!). We will look through your Hokkaido videos and save places on our Google Maps. Thank you!! :) We are excited! @@foodinjapan2256
I love onigiri 🍙 and I ate a lot of them when I was in Japan two weeks ago. I wish I saw this video before I landed the country… 🤤 🤤 Watching the last part of your video put a smile on my face because I had 7-11 egg sandwich almost every night for supper. I never liked egg sandwich until I tried 7-11 in Japan. 👍🏻#1 indeed.
Hi.... I really like your channel. Could you please make some reviews for halal food from these konbinis? I'm planning to visit Japan in the next winter.
8:20 Sat Feb 3rd 2024 Good Morning Inonk 🌞🌄 From Gilbert Arizona USA 🇺🇸 I wish we had these convenance stores like this here in the states. We have 7 11 but nothing like a any of those stores 🏪. 13:14
I see!! I'm working as a tour guide too and many my customers say that too😅 They praise so much about Japanese Konbini!! I hope you come to Japan and try some Konbini food in Japan👍
This is another great video, thank you very much iNok. I really like the conbinis in Japan. We sometimes buy food there instead of a bento box for a train journey (usually onigiri, cucumber salad or edamame, maybe an egg salad sandwich (I agree with you, japanese mayonaisse is very tasty) and try something new). My favorite food from 7/11 is curry pan. From Family Mart my number 1 is also your number 1 :-). I also like oden, especially daikon and egg. I also like to try new things, like chips with a flavour that is only available in Japan. And I have to admit that from time to time, I also buy some pot noodles.
I'm really happy that you love my recommended food too😁 Onigiri is great!! I always buy and have it when I travel in Japan!! Chips are great snack in Japan! especially dried seaweed flavor, have you tried?? I eat lots of pot noodles especially Soba noodles are my favorite!! Do you remember which flavor you loved the most??
You are right, chips with seaweed flavor is tasty. As for pot noodles, I like the curry ones, or also the fake Thai ones with Tom Yam Gung seasoning. But to be honest, I have never had bad pot noodles. I always try to get something new, and as I like spicy food, if they look spicy (I dont speak and read japanese), I go for them, and havent dissapointed so far.
@@swissfoodie3542 Really?? That's nice to hear about pot noodles, but for me I had some experiences to have not fan of pot noodles😅 especially seasonal or limited or collaborated items💦 but more than 95% of Japanese pot noodles are great!!👍
enjoyed watching you! youre a cutepie , I wish I can visit Japan again, I realised I miss Japan alot! Thanks for featuring the convi food, theres alot of new yummies!
@@foodinjapan2256Ohayo Gozaimasu 💖 Oh I luvvv it! well Konbini food are so convenient specially Onigiri because you can take it anywhere. I have tried other Konbini food but I dont know their names I just take basing on their respective photos on their wrappers. Its nice to visit Izakaya its fun and yakiniku is filling to the tummy with liquor, I was excited to see when you were eating that tuna onigiri with tamago, Thats one of my favorites but havent tried as onigiri, I have eaten that in sushiya near my work venue back then in Akabane. But my unforgettable favorite and Im sure you will be laughing is those tiny hotdogs, its the best hotdog I have tasted! I always wait after 3 days as the grocery store I often buy have them on sale after 3 days 🤣 I was only able to eat street food in Shin Yohohama where I also was able to try Misu soup in a very big bowl and thought I cannot finish it off but my goodness I was able to eat all in that big bowl! its the best soup I have tasted! Id like to try that hotpot when i get back to Japan. I wish I have met and known you back then, maybe I have visited more places in Japan and tried more food. But its best to go places in Japan when just vacationing, when you have work there, schedule is impossible and its hard to move around as its always busy... 😍
oh I forgot, your cakes and ice cream there are to die for! and those diet bars too, made me model thin then 😍 But to top it all, what makes Japan unforgettable for me are the people and its culture. I feel so much love and welcomed there 💞💞💞
@@jogtg What wonderful comments!! Thanks a million! you already know lots of things about Japan and had, enjoy variety kind of Japanese food!! I always go to Konbini to look for, find out what I want to eat right now. That much Japanese people really really love Konbini food so do I and it's soooo convenient as it's named!! I hope we can have food together when you come back to Japan!! 👍
@@foodinjapan2256 hahaha youre trying to make me envious and hungry... so Im having my midnight snacks now hahahaha... thank you for the invitation, I promise when Im able to plan and visit Japan I will message you... would be great to meet you and show me around Japan... It brings back beautiful memories watching your vlogs, I truly miss Japan 😍 maybe ill study again Nijon no Kotoba. Its difficult but I always start learning through songs, Its already hard for me to read Hiragana and Katakana, how much more with Kanji but theres always a translator app in my phone 🤣
Thank you for the recommendations, I will be flying to Japan in a few weeks and I'm low-key more excited about trying the huge amount of konbini foods than anything else haha. Also it's fun to see how much you are enjoying the food in this video.
Once in a 7-11 in Tokyo, they had a roast beer sand. It was absolutely amazing! I loved it so much. But the next day, I went back for another one and all they ever had from then on was roast beef with wasabi. I was crushed.
Thank you for this video! I’m leaving for Japan in a week and I am so excited to go to コンビニ. I need to try the famichiki, karaagekun, and egg salad sandwich. My daughter will love the taiyaki, onigiri, and mango smoothie!
Thank you so much for so many great videos and recommendations, we're flying to Osaka in May , and with every video watched on your channel, i can't wait!😊
I would often stop by 7-11 or Lawsons on my way back to the hotel to pick up a little ice cream or extra sweets but honestly most of their food should be your absolute last choice if everything else was closed, there are so many noodle shops tucked away in random corners but I understand the dilemma late at night when everything else is closed
Anthony Bourdain loved Japanese cuisine and reviewed it often. He claimed that Lawson's egg salad sandwich was the best in the world. Might be fun to have a blind taste test; Lawson's vs. Seven Eleven vs. Family Mart?
nice haircut brother pal. I wish english shops were like this but they're no where near as good or have any where near as much variety. amazing video as always.
Thanks!! I'm working as as a tour guide and people always tell me Japanese convenience stores are really good, I think it's one of our culture!! I hope you have similar style shops around you!!
Wow that's great point of view!! I'm making another convenience stores food video and I got same answer👍 It's on my channel on Saturday, I would like you to watch and see if I have same sense to you😆
You already know Oden!! Which one is your favorite?? I actually visited Jihanki Shokudo 2 years ago and this is my video link!! th-cam.com/video/OCJT5UtANQA/w-d-xo.html That was great place but it's hard to visit from Tokyo😅
@@foodinjapan2256 i like all of it, maybe the one i like the most is the wrinkle one, the fish cake i think, i forgot the name ah you already visit that place, i'll watch it now
TBH, after gone to Japan and try many things there, it really not amazingly great as youtuber react, 100% sure they are over react. Japan are best on egg, source and side dish, other than that it is quite similar to Chinese and Asia food. Anything is taste not good, add their source in then it would become good but their soya source is quite salty.
Your point of view is actually correct!! Japanese food is part of Asian cuisine. but only focusing on convenience store's food, I could say our convenience store could be the best in the world!!👍 Other things are very similar to others🤣
@@foodinjapan2256 Found most convenience store in Tokyo and Osaka now are not allowed to dine-in, this make it the lunch box and other items require hitting can't be eaten as it require table to put. Most of the time, I just bought Onigiri in convenience store to temporary fill the hugry stomach until found a place to dine-in, and end with dine-in at Matsuya and Yoshinoya that is quite easy to found. To bought the food and eat at hotel then this would be for dinner and found supermarket like Life and Tamade have much option of lunch box and can seach for more food, and it is 30-50% cheaper also. Then bought tomorrow breakfast at supermarket to put at refrigerator in hotal room also. The convenience store that not allow dine-in is a big lost, they should make it a tall long table that can dine-in with standing, so it just for eating not for resting inside. Anyhow I think dine-in at Matsuya (with multiple of sauce you can choose and mix) and bought food in Tamade and Life is much interesting and better.
To be honest it’s difficult to rank bec everything from the konbini is yum😋😅 I’m missing Japan now even if we were just there last April. Thank you for sharing this video😊
Is it true you can heat your food in the convenience store? Use their microwave? Or does it come heated? I am staying in a hotel so wondering how to heat the meals....thank you
Yes!! We can use microwaves for free!! Is it uncommon in your country? We usually heat food up, it's just push the button! I think it automatically works !
Hi... what is the apps name of japanese resto on Google play store ? I heard tablog , but i couldnt find it... please kindly share the link . Thank youb
I have a question. I want to make miso soup, and I have a huge bag of red miso paste. I'm only confused on the part that asks for wakame. I already have big pieces of kombu, and I even have big sheets of seaweed for rice and such. My question is, can I still use my seaweed torn in little strips to replace the wakame, or am I wrong. I just love miso soup so much, and I want to make miso soup every single day as part of my diet. An answer from you will be so appreciated, and I hope to hear what your response to my question is. ❤
This is the great question!! I've never thought of the difference between Nori and Wakame. The answer is those two are completely different so you can't use Nori instead of Wakame. These two are different ingredients. Wakame is just sea kelp and it's slightly slimy and crunchy. Nori is seaweed that is thinly dried. It's fragrant and it's crispy. If put Nori into Miso soup, it's Nori miso soup. If you put Wakame into Miso soup, it's Wakame Miso soup. But both are really tasty so it's just try and let me know how it is!!👍
thank you for the video.. could you tell me if the smoothies are sweet or not as sweet compared to american standards? also.. we are going in summer but is it safe to eat the sushi? just scared bc it's so hot and if locals still eat a lot of the raw fish during summer time? thank you for any tips!!
I have never had smoothie in the U.S. but Seven Eleven smoothie is not that sweet because it doesn't contain much sugar in it. so this is only natural sweetness of fruits and veggies. About Sushi, no worries about it! It's really safe to eat as raw fish! Sushi restaurants keep fish very clean and so fresh! Japanese eats Sushi anywhere and anytime in Japan!!
All cobini are great they have there differences but 7/11 is a bit higher level 😊 I love the ODEN an and sukiyaki and the smoothie was cheap for mango too!!!! 👍🏻 AND IKURA onigiri Good vid iNok!! //////What happen to your hand man!!!!😮
Yeah I exactly got same point of you! 7/11 is slightly better than other!! You love many Japanese foods😁 And I know you love Ikura🤩 I broke part of my hand bone 6 month ago and I got surgery and I put some nails in my hand to fix bone at that time, then I took out nails this time, so I needed to put the cover on the scar💦 But It's already fine for now, I still have scar a little bit, but it will be soon getting better👍
There're some microwaves in convenience stores, and we can use them by ourselves. We just put food in it and press buttons to set up seconds. but it depends on the shop, shop staffs help us to heat food up in some other stores, so if you are worried about heating up food, it's better to ask people in the store!!!
@@foodinjapan2256 its difficult to answer coz they are all tasty for me haha.... maybe i choose strawberry sandwich coz the strawberry is very sweet :)
Wow, it's so cheap :O In germany, we would pay 50% more for all this stuff. I wish we had more smaller convinence stores like Japan with an option to warm up some of this stuff. All of this looks so delicious 😍 The only thing thats a bit sad, is that there is a lot of plastic and i think Japan and the USA aren't really recycling plastic serpately like germany does. People who eat this outside home throw this in the universal trash bin probably 😐
I wanna visit convenience stores in Germany, and see the difference between them!! It must be really interesting!! In Japan we pretty much trying to recycle plastics but it's not as mush as Germany does so we have to do it more😅
No, the correct answer for all five is the red bean paste and whip cream pancake thing. Had one every morning with a Red Bull. But I might try some of these next time.
@@foodinjapan2256 The Red Bull is more of a personal vice. Plus I was there in August and something cold sounded better than coffee. I'm sure they are great with coffee too. I guess it was dorayaki but it was new to me so I had several.
Thank you for your recommendations, i will be going to japan really soon and can't wait to try out these items that you have suggested! Looking forward to a great time 'exploring' convenience stores!
@@foodinjapan2256 maybe only selected store sell Oden, like those blended fruit shake that I saw from TikTok and instagram video that only available at some 7/11 store.

Thank you!! I hope you love Japanese Konbini foods👍
We have a Japanese version of Mark Weins! Very well done video, I cannot wait for my vacation to Tōkyō and eat.
Nice!! I love to be like him too😁 The No.1 Japanese food TH-camr in Japan👍
Thanks for this video. I’m going to Japan next month and I can’t wait to try the food in conbini.
Let me know your favorite food when you try😁
Once in a 7-11 in Tokyo, they had a roast beer sand. It was absolutely amazing! I loved it so much. But the next day, I went back for another one and all they ever had from then on was roast beef with wasabi.
I was crushed.
Wow! I don't know a roast beer sand! It sounds nice!! I want it🤤 I love wasabi too🤣
I waited till the end then.... Yes! Egg sadwich. Nice.
Thanks! Probably Egg sandwich is the best but I'm trying other great Konbini food!!
This was such a GREAT video, thank you so much for the details and comparison chart, and titles with store & price! Subscribed! ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!!
Thank you for this video! I’m leaving for Japan in a week and I am so excited to go to コンビニ. I need to try the famichiki, karaagekun, and egg salad sandwich. My daughter will love the taiyaki, onigiri, and mango smoothie!
Nice!! I hope you love them!! Please let me know how they are if it's possible!!👍
I watched this with my daughter today and she is really excited to try 7-eleven ピザもん and especially the smoothie.
@@LeeRichardson808 Great choices!! Those are absolutely my recommendations especially for youngers!!👍
The Lawson premium Bulgogi beef onigiri was my favorite. And anything with strawberry was amazing.
Nice!! I'll try next time🤩
Thanks, very interesting video!👌 I have a question for you😃 Do you allways have to put bentos in the microwave own, or can they also be eaten cold?
In my opinion, most of customers use the microwave to heat it up👍And I do too!
@@foodinjapan2256 Okey, thanks again! That was what I assumed🙂
@@morten2001 Everyone loves nice and hot food🤩
My favorites are Energy/Vitamin In pouches, Coolish (soft ice cream in a pouch), and Calpico Original.
Energy/Vitamin In pouches are nice!! I sometimes have it when I'm in rush!! you pretty much love to have ice cream😁😁😁😁 I love it tooo😍
Thank you so much for so many great videos and recommendations, we're flying to Osaka in May , and with every video watched on your channel, i can't wait!😊
Wow! Thank you!! I really appreciate it!!
I like steamed buns
@@Trainandfoodlover8381 That's nice!! Have you had pizza steamed buns??
Yes
@@Trainandfoodlover8381 Great!! That's my favorite🤩
My favourite latté from a konbini is Lawson, you can get it in mega size.
Yeah right!! That Mega size is amazing😁
Omg I've gotta follow this soon in Japan, so excited it's a local people recommendations !!
Thank you!! I hope you love them too😁
@@foodinjapan2256I started to replay to screenshot what I would love to try, turns out I screened shot all 😅
Famichicki the name couldn't be more perfect
I bet! It sounds nice and easy to remember😁
I would often stop by 7-11 or Lawsons on my way back to the hotel to pick up a little ice cream or extra sweets but honestly most of their food should be your absolute last choice if everything else was closed, there are so many noodle shops tucked away in random corners but I understand the dilemma late at night when everything else is closed
Absolutely right🤣🤣
But I eat high calories food sometimes at midnight😂
Anthony Bourdain loved Japanese cuisine and reviewed it often. He claimed that Lawson's egg salad sandwich was the best in the world. Might be fun to have a blind taste test; Lawson's vs. Seven Eleven vs. Family Mart?
That's great choice!! I'll see the differences!!
Will Watch now 🔥🔥🔥🙏
I really appreciate it!!
nice haircut brother pal. I wish english shops were like this but they're no where near as good or have any where near as much variety. amazing video as always.
Thanks!! I'm working as as a tour guide and people always tell me Japanese convenience stores are really good, I think it's one of our culture!! I hope you have similar style shops around you!!
I have been in Kumamoto city for 26 years, 7-11 has the best sandwiches and familymart the best fried chicken 🍗!
Wow that's great point of view!! I'm making another convenience stores food video and I got same answer👍
It's on my channel on Saturday, I would like you to watch and see if I have same sense to you😆
@@foodinjapan2256 I’m in Sydney at the moment, will go back home to Kumamoto on Tuesday. The 7-11 stores in Australia are so different from Japan.
Nice video， I will definitely have to try this when I will be in Japan in July!!
Fantastic! I hope you love them too👍
See you in july! Kanpai
@@montgomeryfortenberry Kanpai!!
It look interesting!! next week, I will try the menu that you are recommend it.🥰 Sweet thing is my favourite, thank you so much.
My pleasure! Please try Egg salad sandwich or egg salad hotdog, I'm sure you'll love it too👍
@@foodinjapan2256 Noted, I guess I will love it just like you are saying. For now, I watch this video again and I really feel hungry too much. 😝
@@MWmueww Nice!! I hope you enjoy my videos and make your plan for the next travel Japan👍
Amazing video! I hope I can come to Japan someday to try everything!
Nice!! We are waiting for you!!!
My favorite will always be the chicken skin and meat skewer from family mart! The soy one!
Great!! I've never had Yakitori from Family mart... I have to try👍
i already try Oden from Lawson and i love it
by the way, have you tried food from Jihanki Shokudo? i'm so interesting with this place
You already know Oden!! Which one is your favorite??
I actually visited Jihanki Shokudo 2 years ago and this is my video link!!
th-cam.com/video/OCJT5UtANQA/w-d-xo.html
That was great place but it's hard to visit from Tokyo😅
@@foodinjapan2256 i like all of it, maybe the one i like the most is the wrinkle one, the fish cake i think, i forgot the name
ah you already visit that place, i'll watch it now
@@KethIvania I see! I love fish cake too it's sooo good😁
Thank you for watching🤩
When I leave Japan, the convenience food I miss the most is Onigiri, especially Umeboshi!
Really?? You love Umeboshi?! That's awesome👍
Planning a trip to Tokyo for New Year's 2025... going to put some "conbini cuisine" on my list.
Nice!! I'm sure you love it😁😁😁
favourite 7eleven sandwich is the pork cutlet - soo tasty and filling :-). followed up with a 7eleven banana cake - yum
Great!! Pork cutlet sandwich is also tasty🤤 Banana cake from 7 eleven!? I have to check it!!
@@foodinjapan2256 it's literally a whole banana covered in whipped cream and wrapped inside a sponge cake
@@grahamhanks906 Oh I know that one!! It's called Marugoto Banana!! It's actually my favorite one too😁
@@foodinjapan2256 couldn't remember what it was called, just know I used to get it from my local 7eleven in takadanobaba :-) I miss being there :-)
@@grahamhanks906 It's yummy one😁 I should share for my next video!!
just got back from my first Japan trip and that Famichiki is no joke, so good!
I bet!! It's definitely worth to try😁
@@foodinjapan2256 im craving it right now 😂
@@ooobydoob3786 That's what I wanted you to be🤣
the Lawson's egg salad was better than the 7-11 one but I love both Lawson's and 7-11!
Really!! I gotta try!!
TBH, after gone to Japan and try many things there, it really not amazingly great as youtuber react, 100% sure they are over react.
Japan are best on egg, source and side dish, other than that it is quite similar to Chinese and Asia food.
Anything is taste not good, add their source in then it would become good but their soya source is quite salty.
Your point of view is actually correct!! Japanese food is part of Asian cuisine. but only focusing on convenience store's food, I could say our convenience store could be the best in the world!!👍
Other things are very similar to others🤣
@@foodinjapan2256 Found most convenience store in Tokyo and Osaka now are not allowed to dine-in, this make it the lunch box and other items require hitting can't be eaten as it require table to put. Most of the time, I just bought Onigiri in convenience store to temporary fill the hugry stomach until found a place to dine-in, and end with dine-in at Matsuya and Yoshinoya that is quite easy to found.
To bought the food and eat at hotel then this would be for dinner and found supermarket like Life and Tamade have much option of lunch box and can seach for more food, and it is 30-50% cheaper also. Then bought tomorrow breakfast at supermarket to put at refrigerator in hotal room also.
The convenience store that not allow dine-in is a big lost, they should make it a tall long table that can dine-in with standing, so it just for eating not for resting inside.
Anyhow I think dine-in at Matsuya (with multiple of sauce you can choose and mix) and bought food in Tamade and Life is much interesting and better.
To be honest it’s difficult to rank bec everything from the konbini is yum😋😅 I’m missing Japan now even if we were just there last April. Thank you for sharing this video😊
Thank you for your comment!! I hope you come back to Japan and Japanese Konbini once again😁
Famichiki is another level of chicken. I just got back from Japan and I used to eat one everyday
Nice!! I bet!! It's so tasty👍
Is it true you can heat your food in the convenience store? Use their microwave? Or does it come heated? I am staying in a hotel so wondering how to heat the meals....thank you
Yes!! We can use microwaves for free!! Is it uncommon in your country? We usually heat food up, it's just push the button! I think it automatically works !
Brilliant, thank you x. No, we don't have that in my country but it is a great idea 💡
@@vanessae8919 😁👍

I have a question. I want to make miso soup, and I have a huge bag of red miso paste. I'm only confused on the part that asks for wakame. I already have big pieces of kombu, and I even have big sheets of seaweed for rice and such. My question is, can I still use my seaweed torn in little strips to replace the wakame, or am I wrong. I just love miso soup so much, and I want to make miso soup every single day as part of my diet. An answer from you will be so appreciated, and I hope to hear what your response to my question is. ❤
This is the great question!! I've never thought of the difference between Nori and Wakame. The answer is those two are completely different so you can't use Nori instead of Wakame. These two are different ingredients. Wakame is just sea kelp and it's slightly slimy and crunchy. Nori is seaweed that is thinly dried. It's fragrant and it's crispy. If put Nori into Miso soup, it's Nori miso soup. If you put Wakame into Miso soup, it's Wakame Miso soup. But both are really tasty so it's just try and let me know how it is!!👍
@@foodinjapan2256 Thank you for your response! I will let you know. Thank you, Domo!
@@louisdevalois4358 Arigato😁
Funny, when I went to Japan last November, I put the Famichiki in an egg salad sandwich 😂
And I'll be eating that again in my next trip 🤤
Nice!! I'll try your way to have Famichiki and sandwich! That sounds great!!
@@foodinjapan2256 It became my breakfast during my trip 😂
@@tinjo29 Thank you for sharing!!
Great video
Thank you😁
I miss Famichiki Can you send come over to the UK please?!
Noooooo they are all mine😁😁😁
I plan on trying all 15 recommendations on my coming visit to Japan. Thankyou.
Let me know your best one too😁
thank you for the video.. could you tell me if the smoothies are sweet or not as sweet compared to american standards? also.. we are going in summer but is it safe to eat the sushi? just scared bc it's so hot and if locals still eat a lot of the raw fish during summer time? thank you for any tips!!
I have never had smoothie in the U.S. but Seven Eleven smoothie is not that sweet because it doesn't contain much sugar in it. so this is only natural sweetness of fruits and veggies.
About Sushi, no worries about it! It's really safe to eat as raw fish! Sushi restaurants keep fish very clean and so fresh! Japanese eats Sushi anywhere and anytime in Japan!!
@@foodinjapan2256 thnak you so much for advice, really appreciate!!!
@@dance4ever940 My pleasure😁
Are the meals hot - can you heat them in the stores ? Thanks for your video.
Except hot drinks, foods are normally cold so we need to heat them up by a microwave at the store😄 It's free to use the microwave!!
All cobini are great they have there differences but 7/11 is a bit higher level 😊
I love the ODEN an and sukiyaki and the smoothie was cheap for mango too!!!! 👍🏻
AND IKURA onigiri
Good vid iNok!! //////What happen to your hand man!!!!😮
Yeah I exactly got same point of you! 7/11 is slightly better than other!!
You love many Japanese foods😁 And I know you love Ikura🤩
I broke part of my hand bone 6 month ago and I got surgery and I put some nails in my hand to fix bone at that time, then I took out nails this time, so I needed to put the cover on the scar💦
But It's already fine for now, I still have scar a little bit, but it will be soon getting better👍
@@foodinjapan2256 ✌️
@@foodinjapan2256 Lol hubby & I are Team Famima, we think the foods and quality in Famima are the best! ☺
Wishing you a speedy recovery! 💪
@@anna8282 Famima is great!! Thank you for heart-warming message🥰
Hopefully will be tasting them soon
We are waiting for you👍
Seven:Nana Chickin Pepper Garlic . Family Mart : FamiKara
Great!! I haven't tried nana chicken pepper garlic! It sounds nice!!
I can agree on ALL of them!!!!
Thank you!! Have you tried all of them??
I love all the foods, I miss Japan
Come back to Japan!! We all welcome you😁
ファミチキ大好き!
美味しいですよね👍👍
ノーマルが一番好きですか？
try the 7-11 black box spaghetti.
😳 so good
Really??? I'll try!! thank you for sharing!!
Spicy fried chicken from family mart is so delicious
I bet!! That's also really good!!
Can you tell us about how to heat up the food in the microwave in convenience store? I assume the ramen needed to be heated up, right?
There're some microwaves in convenience stores, and we can use them by ourselves. We just put food in it and press buttons to set up seconds. but it depends on the shop, shop staffs help us to heat food up in some other stores, so if you are worried about heating up food, it's better to ask people in the store!!!
Roll cake lawson is my Fav❤
I bet!!! That's really good😁
Will the stores heat up the food if you ask?
There're many microwaves and we can use it for free without permission!!
yeah... I like sandwiches in seven eleven too. they are very tasty😋
Great!! Which one do you think the best??
@@foodinjapan2256 its difficult to answer coz they are all tasty for me haha.... maybe i choose strawberry sandwich coz the strawberry is very sweet :)
@@liemchin5734 Nice! It's a great choice!! I love strawberry sandwich too!! It's only limited edition for some periods! It's the time to eat!!!!!
@@foodinjapan2256 ooo really? I just knew from you. thx for the info :)
@@liemchin5734 👍👍
Pizza steamed bun surprised me 😂
Right?? It's original steamed bun only in Japan👍
U has me at chocolate tayaki
Nice!! It was great one😁
Wow, it's so cheap :O In germany, we would pay 50% more for all this stuff. I wish we had more smaller convinence stores like Japan with an option to warm up some of this stuff. All of this looks so delicious 😍 The only thing thats a bit sad, is that there is a lot of plastic and i think Japan and the USA aren't really recycling plastic serpately like germany does. People who eat this outside home throw this in the universal trash bin probably 😐
I wanna visit convenience stores in Germany, and see the difference between them!! It must be really interesting!! In Japan we pretty much trying to recycle plastics but it's not as mush as Germany does so we have to do it more😅
Im in japan, it's about 8pm. I'm about to buy them all.
Nice!! Let me know your favorite one😁
No, the correct answer for all five is the red bean paste and whip cream pancake thing. Had one every morning with a Red Bull. But I might try some of these next time.
That's great point of view!! But is it good with red bull??😅 I have to try once!!
@@foodinjapan2256 The Red Bull is more of a personal vice. Plus I was there in August and something cold sounded better than coffee. I'm sure they are great with coffee too. I guess it was dorayaki but it was new to me so I had several.
@@bp3d106 Nice! you love dorayaki!! It's great to hear people who love red bean paste!!👍
Thank you for your recommendations, i will be going to japan really soon and can't wait to try out these items that you have suggested! Looking forward to a great time 'exploring' convenience stores!
Let me know your favorite Japanese Konbini food!! I wanna know what items are popular for tourists!!
I just went to Tokyo during feb 2014, I try finding oden at 7/11 but can’t find any, am I too late or they stop selling during the date I go ?
Oden is only offered in winter time so it's kinda hard to find Oden in some stores after the certain time...💦
@@foodinjapan2256 , but if I my date of travel is 2 to 9 Feb. Is it still winter time ?
@@ekming751 I think so💦 It's cold enough to offer Oden😅
@@foodinjapan2256 maybe only selected store sell Oden, like those blended fruit shake that I saw from TikTok and instagram video that only available at some 7/11 store.
The Pork Raman from the ready to eat section, is that dish hot or do you eat it cold
It's hot! I heated up with a microwave👍 We can eat it with cold but I don't think it's good....
@@foodinjapan2256 ok so these stores have microwaves you can use
