The “rose” on the rice cake is actually a pickled Sakura (cherry blossom) flower. Pickled Sakura leaves are also used to wrap Sakura mochi, a popular sweet often eaten for Sakura viewing season.
Yeah, somewhere in a Japanese station, the operator of the train apologized heavily because he was late for only 5 minutes. Thats how detailed and mindful this country is
to be fair, i'm sure japanese microwaved food is probably better than whatever i could whip up in the kitchen. i'm sure gordon ramsey would hire microwaves over me LMAO
Using Mike's videos as guide, I did a convenience store run with my friend when we were in Osaka - NO REGRETS! The food are as awesome and as "HMPH!" as Mike indicated. Hope I'll be able to visit Japan again soon. Stay safe everyone!
@Ed Eduard Yeees! I agree. The 7-11 store in my country is abysmal unfortunately. I haven't been to one of those 7-11 superstores in a while though, so not sure if the selection have improved.
Hey! Come to hawaii. I work at out 7/11- its under the japanese branch and we have lots of the Japanese snacks, steamed buns, sushi, rolls- all that good stuff lol
my parents: why are you watching people eat??? Me: You wouldn't get it........ edit: thx for the likes holy shitake mushrooms I haven't got this many likes before.
Mikey should franchise 7-11 (or Lawsons) and open em in the US. He can save money from not having to fly to Japan just to eat 7-11 food + earn money at the same time. And American citizens get good convenience store food. Win-win-win. ✌️🤣
I was just about to say it looks like a Hanami treat with a cherry blossom on top. But rose for Valentines would be cute too. Of course Valentines is more a girls giving chocolates kinda day instead of roses or receiving anything.
You are seriously saving me from the boredom of the current times. I'm frequently rewatching the Strictly Dumpling, Mike Chen, and Cook With Mikey videos because I really need good content...
Family mart tried to replicate that same idea in los Angeles but didnt come no where close to what it is in japan. Quality not the same but still expensive.
The joy and enthusiasm with which you eat and film is such a good way to end a day! I can't even eat gluten, onion and garlic but Mikey you brighten 7 months of isolation, thank you.
Honestly one of the main reasons I want to go to Japan is to visit a 7-Eleven and try the food specifically the egg sandwiches and onigiri but everything looks so good 🍙🍞🍜
The egg sandwich is fabulous and so is the ham and cheese sandwich and the salads. I’m going back just for that, just love Lawton’s,family mart, and 7/11 there!
7-11: "Oh he must be getting food for the entire office how nice of him" Mikey: .................. Honestly Japanese Combini food is ridiculously good. Its not like the hotdogs and burritos we have here in the States. We had a late night at Hakone one time and we just raided the 7-11 and still had a great dinner!
Your japan vlogs are my favorite Mikey! 🥰 They are actually how I originally found your channel 😂 I miss eating at the convenience stores in japan so much.. there is so much good food there, unlike the nasty food at the US convenience stores 😭
Same here in Canada. I wonder if the relatively large geographical size of Canada and the U.S. compared to Japan make it much more difficult to get freshly prepared food like this into the convenience stores on a daily basis? Just a thought.... 🤔
Heath Lawrence actually here in northern Alberta the new 7-11 that we got is not bad....a lot of different stuff,including Asian stuff and it’s pretty good....of course there’s still the gross pizza and hot dogs but maybe it’s looking up for us in the West?
@@pussinboots5989 I wish I could go to China . I really want to visit the rural places and experience the nature there. If only China's government was more easy going.
Thank you for helping me expand my taste in foods I never thought I’d try. And as well thank you for making these wonderful videos, feels nice to not really eat by myself when I’m watching you!
Exactly my thoughts. Mikey is an insane worker, he never stops man! Honestly, If I was paid to eat food, fly and review hotels, I would never stop too!
Referencing to the Sakura mochi he brought, which is newly on sale on 12th February 2020, the video is taken somewhere along that date. At the 7-11 near nihonbashi horidomecho.
@@flowersai ah thanks for the comment! I'm sure more people would appreciate it if you said it as a comment and not as a reply. Thanks anyways the place is going on my bucket list :)
First of all, let me say I love these videos and watch them over and over...seriously. I would love if you put more on the pricing the way you did in your first 711 Tokyo video. At any rate, thank you for all of your amazing content!
omg this is exactly what i did when i went to japan. i went aisle by aisle and picked out all the foods. it's such a great way to get to know the culture and flavors. everything tasted perfect. the only thing is, not everything fit in the hotel fridge so i just had to binge eat. not complaining.. :)
I've been to Japan twice and I was amazed at what food was in the convenience stores. Nothing but delious meals without breaking the bank every time is great. :)
Is it just me or I feel like that the chefs who made the food and the customers around him will think that he dislikes the food because he’s shaking his head
love these 7 11 reviews. anyone who has been to or lived in Japan knows how important these stores as well as Lawson and AM/PM are on a daily basis. A cheap lunch or a beer, or even to get a candy toy fix. thanks for all you do. your food and travel shows have helped a lot when not able to travel during this situation.
Literally just came back from Japanese market grocery. Got plenty of amazing Japanese food and bento = Perfect time to watch Mikey's 7-Eleven while eating!
Fariz Fathullah Afma To be fair, most of Japan isn’t all tech-savy. It’s only like that around the cities. Once you go to the country side/rural areas, it’s like you hit a whole 180. (Although, most residents in rural towns are ages 50+)
No, watching this video is motivation for intermittent fasting! When you g for OMAD, eventually you could eat 3 meals worth of food in one seating. That would look something like 3/4 of Mikey's breakfast and that is damn fulfilling.
Your videos always come at the perfect time. My depression is getting the best of me, so I really appreciate this distraction! P.S.---Thank you for remembering to turn on the CC for all your videos today! 💙
I love these videos, when I was just a baby I got very sick and stayed in the hospital and ever since then I get sick trying new foods and it makes me anxious trying new things, but watching these videos makes me crave things I've never ate!!

That and also Japanese McDonald's 🤔
Yeah the best food in American 7-11s are probably the extremely high quality of gourmet hot dogs and pizza
hawaii got great 711 food
My 7-11 is a little good in quality but I agree
for real. 7-11s in the US are synonymous with shitty food and bad areas

You mean figuratively
Adam Montebello that sucks so much I feel you
After you ate that sesame dessert and whipped out that tea, I panicked and thought that was a large bottle of sesame oil lmao.

18:00 it's sakura mochi 🌸 (the sakura blossom is put in a salted water (afaik) to extract the flavor), and yes it's a spring specialty 😃🌸
I was just about to say it looks like a Hanami treat with a cherry blossom on top. But rose for Valentines would be cute too. Of course Valentines is more a girls giving chocolates kinda day instead of roses or receiving anything.
That "rose" on top of the Sakura mochi is a marinated cherry blossom.

Everything would probably need to be pricey to justify importing it.
7-Eleven in the US is actually a subsidiary of Seven & I Holdings of Japan
@@FinalReqiuem101
That's the price to pay for made in America... pricey and not highly in quality (hot dogs and cheese burgers).
