If Japan owns the 7"11 stores in America I wish they would put some Japanese sandwiches here. I would love to try the egg sandwich and the chicken. Maybe one day.
Yeah agreed I'd like to see some of the Japanese 711 food here in America plus I'd love to try that Fried Chicken, Chris Abroad seems to love it.
That would be amazing!
It really is good. I loved the fruit sandwich as well. I really want to go back there.
They may - it takes time to turn around a behemoth. Massive supply chain. I figure they’d need to change the way Americans see convenient stores. Heck, I’d like to see the US stop using paper checks 😂 I felt liberated when I came to Japan in 1998 and didn’t have to deal with that system.
@@onlyinjapanGO Japan needs online banking in multiple languages. I hate that I had to go to an ATM to deposit money though bank transfer for a bill before it closed at 5pm. Yes you read that right, the ATM closed at 5pm. Also haven't used a check in a decade. Everything is done by debit card and online.
I miss sandwich and bread there in Japan..looking forward to be back after pandemic..
Whenever you show the Japanese sandwiches I start drooling...... Yum yum yum. I wish the Seven Elevens is Australia we're half as good as in Japan. I SO want one of those fluffy egg ones!
Easy answer: Japan always uses good quality ingredients & do not skimp on the filling....
They do skimp on filling 😂 and they don’t always use better ingredients, but they engineer it with textures, tastes and visual appeal.
They use butt loads of artificial stuff in their food much more than others
True
Japan is magic, looks like everything tastes good.
Back in 1992 when I was in Japan, I LOVED, LOVED LOVED, the 7-11 egg salad and their gyoza. Love your videos, brings me back to my favorite travel spot
I was surpirsed on my 1st visit to see SO many sandwiches in Japan's convenience stores. I also love the sandwiches bought at Tokyo's train station (heading to Osaka)!
lunch packs?
Lots of sandwiche choices but that Angus beef wasabi one had me drooling! 😋🤤 Thanks for the sando stream! 👍🥪
Another fun live stream! Thanks John!!
I was expecting Peter Barakan, almost didn't watch. Your smile and enthusiasm are infectious. Glad I stuck with it, thanks.
its the bread that makes the sandwiches so lovely,i was totally adicted to egg sandwiches! who would have thought something so simple could taste so damn good!!!!!!!
Hello from Toronto. I have visited Japan about a dozen times and you can always rely on 7-11’s offerings being fresh. A favourite of mine is their ham, cheese and lettuce sandwiches. Interestingly, if a sandwich is past due (usually the next day), it won’t scan at the checkout. Lots of hot choices are available too. The stores are usually packed with “salary workers” on their breaks and I believe the stores get at least a couple of deliveries each day. That’s why things are fresh.
What are salary workers? Do the differ from worked who get money for a full month?
Besides the good taste, what I love about Japanese sando is it always easy to eat. Nothing spilled down when bite. Even the heavy thick fruit sando.
I miss overseas 7/11 so much
Never thought I would hear John say Wawa on a live stream! Philly for the win! Keep up the awesome content.
7-Eleven roast beef is SO GOOD! Glad I've tried it back when I'm visiting Osaka last January. Really missed Japan. Stay safe, John!
So good! love the egg sandwiches! also the sweet pan with the yellow custard in the middle!
Ooh, the shrimp cutlet sandwich is perfection. 👌🏼 I’m going to hunt one down at our local Japanese grocer here in Toronto. 🙌🏼 Thanks for the delicious livestream, John!
Thank you for my fireworks postcard! I got it last week. Man, watching this just makes me miss Japan even more. We were supposed to back in April and had to cancel. The egg salad and ebi katsu sando are my favorites! I think one reason Japanese sandwiches are so good is despite the bread being white, and not taking away from the fillings, the bread is just so fluffy and light. And I just love when they trim off the crust. American sandwiches are good too, but like everything American sometimes it's just too much, not delicate. Cannot wait to go back soon!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁, thank you!
They have better food in that 7/11 than at my local grocery store.
7/11 is almost the place for my staple when I go to Japan for holiday. Love it !,
Woohhh! Those sandwiches made me drool! I LOVE THEIR SANDWICHES. The bread is very soft... the ingredients are always fresh!
I am Japanese and have been living in Australia for 20 years.
I actually don’t really agree that Japanese sandwich is the best. I live in Melbourne and we can get pretty good sandwich in Melbourne. The difference, there are so many varieties of sandwich available in Japan, however the convenience store sandwich has preservative in it and it actually stated in ingredients list and it’s made in factory by machines.
On the other hand, if you go to nice cafes in Melbourne, they make it fresh for you and most of bread doesn’t have preservative in it (I know this because I work as a chef) and they add more quantity of ingredients. If you buy ham sandwich in Japan, there are couple of slices of ham but in Melbourne, you get a lot more.
What’s interesting is when I am in japan, I miss Aussie sandwich and when I am in Australia, I miss japan sandwich.
I can't speak for the rest of the U.S. but on Long Island, I never seen those sandwiches.
Here, we have these turkey sandwiches with this spicy mayo dressing.
It's delicious! It's a bit pricey too but it's really fresh!
I can eat like 7 of them. Yum! :)
I think it's the bread, mayo, and the overall freshness that makes them way better than any in US.
Love the varieties of food offered in Japanese as well as Taiwanese seven elevens. My then boyfriend and now husband and I had fun trying different sandwiches and foods that we wouldn’t find in other parts of the world .
I lived for an entire month on these sandwiches - so damn good. I still think about them all the time. Solo good
Egg salad sandwich is my favorite! That is my usual breakfast every time I am in Japan!
In the UK we sometimes call a sandwich a Sarnie.
Damn! I ate one of those sandwiches every day for breakfast last year I was there. Add 2 hard boiled eggs and a boss man coffee and you have a great breakfast :D
Exactly the same when I went 😂
Tonkatsu is always my favourite. Especially the ones they sell at the station or on the Shinkansen. I can’t wait to go back to Japan!
I was in Tokyo a year ago and my wife and i would stock up on 7/11 sandwiches and convenience food every morning and just feast in the hotelroom. You can't get anything this good here in Germany. Loved it and we will back some day 100%
Was in Kanazawa 2019 and near hotel was a 7-11. Interior so nice and brightly lit and floors shiny and clean (could eat off of them I thought). Sandwiches - YES!!. Fantastic. Then I reflected on my local 7-11's in Chicago and got depressed. I saved photos of it on my phone so I can remember what I am missing.
After 5 visits I still rave to my friends about the great food at 7-11 in Japan. Also there are great burgers places there- Good review
I really miss the super convenience of 7/11, Lawson's and Family Mart. I lived in Sasebo for 4 years and enjoyed it very much. My favorite sandwich to get was tuna salad sandwich and ham & cheese with lettuce sandwich. It's always fresh made daily everyday. I also liked getting their corn dogs as well. I wish I could go back soon.
It is the best!!! Love the jasmine too!!!
Great video......thanks!! Always wanted to go to Japan
In Denmark 1960, sandwich shops on walking street displayed open-faced sandwiches on trays in a glass case like donut shops display donuts in the US on great slices of bread and attractively decorated,,,
so delicious, I would eat a dozen.
Egg salad and fruit sandwich are the best. I miss them. Sandwiches in Japan are the best. I always get both of them when I arrive in Japan at the airport.
Teriyaki Chicken and egg. I lived off these (probably ill advised) when i was in Aso during winter and everything was closed haha
I really liked this live~ Interesting to see their sandwiches. I've gotten ham salad and egg salad sandwiches....I think that is about it at Speedway. We don't have too many 7/11 around here.
Love your videos bro 😍👍🏻 watching from Tunisia 🇹🇳
Chicken + egg with teriyaki is my fave!!
Just realized he did this two days ago and its currently -20 where I work in Canada. Makes me remember of warmer days lol
Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich, the greatest sandwich of all time :) I really miss living in Quebec, many many great sandwiches lol.
Never been, but I hear Montreal also makes the best bagels 🥯 too. I must visit soon.
When I was in Yokohama for work I would stop at the 7-11 in the hotel complex on my way back to my hotel room each day. I'd grab some sandwiches and a bento type dinner meal. The quality and freshness of the items is much better in Japan. I was told they replenish their stock often, sometimes as much as 3 times in a single day.
I LIVED on egg sallad sandwiches when I lived for a year and a half in Tokyo. They were the absolute the best in the world!
I hope Japan can overhaul the way Americans run convenient stores with their take over of 7/11. I think QT is the closest we have to a good experience, and their food is cheap (and frozen and processed, of course) but at least it's tended to and fresh when you buy it. Our stores cannot hold a candle to this!
Just had something similar from our neighborhood Korean Bakery Cafe here in DC... Japanese style egg salad, tuna fish, and chicken pesto sandwiches. My son and I split the egg and tuna fish.
It's 3 minutes to midnight where I am (Ireland) .... Midnight snack run! 😂
7-Eleven first appeared in my hometown in the 60s and was the first convenience store there. The very first 7-Eleven opened in 1927 in Dallas, Texas. Little corner ma and pop grocery stores existed before supermarkets, but it was the extended hours that made them revolutionary in America.
T y for your enthusiasm!
the 7/11 Teriyaki chicken & egg sandwich is very nice.
I had one sitting in the concourse outside Kyoto station while people-watching, taking photos and drinking Chu-hi :)
I have tried DonQui' egg salad sandwich and it's heaven!!! 😁
The reason that the sandwiches are not filled all the way to the back is to avoid getting your hands dirty because when you bite into it, you squeeze the filling out to the back. If it was loaded all the way, you’ll squeeze the filling on your fingers when you bite into it.
That tea is deliciously strong...(often have an usual reaction to it)
Sumimasen John san. Only just spotted I missed this one. Love Japanese white bread. However, I missed the crust after a week in Katsuta.
Egg sandwich are the best.
On a hot day, a cold fruit sandwich works so well.
Oh, man - the Teriyaki Chicken & Egg sandwich is my jam. I've had it at least one each time I've been in Japan and it's so satisfying.
The 7-Eleven sandwiches here in the Las Vegas area can be okay, if a bit pricey. Dry, too, since they don't usually have a lot of sauces or other things on them. I tend to avoid them these days, just due to the massive amount of sodium they have. The thing I'd like to see is some slightly healthier options for 7-Eleven.
They are definitely stepping their game up, though, with private label items. So, they're learning from what 7-Eleven in Japan does best. And newer 7-Elevens have coffee machines that grind beans and make a fresh cup for you. Really cheap and surprisingly very good!
Thank you for this entertaining and delicious stream, my favorate was that egg sandwich 🥪 oishii desu 👍!!!
My kids love the egg salad sandwiches in Japan.
my favorite 7-11 sandwich there was egg salad and ham separated by onsen tamago
I love egg salad sandwiches
Egg Salad!!!!! Yummmm! I miss it 😭😭😭😭
Fantastic stream John now I am so hungry
it seems that 7-11 offer localized sandwiches depending on the country they operate, for example here in the philippines they offer localized like cheesy egg pandesal (salt bread with fried egg and cheese ) or typical club house sandwich, tuna, chicken and ham & egg sandwiches...
the cut at around 1:26 makes it look like john ran away with the sandwiches lol
Didnt eat any sandwiches while in Japan, but certainly tried other combini stuff. btw for Decaf coffee drinkers (which my wife is a big one), most Starbucks serve it and a few Tully's. So, we got by.
Haha... ever since my exploits into thailand, ive made some weird sandwiches that turn heads. Jellies with vegetables, peanutbutter with hotsauce, bannana with spread.. i had one once that i believe was tripe, fish, greens, fruit jelly, and hummus. Not really sure because i couldnt speak the language of the lady offering it, but it was good too
That depends on what part of Jersey you are from. The Driscoll bridge normally is the divideing line as well as one side calls it Taylorham and one calls it porkroll in New Jersey. Lol
Wow... why are U torturing me with this video? 😭😄 I really miss convenience stores in Japan...super cool!! The bread they use is usually super duper soft and moist, melting in your mouth! 🥰🤤
When I visited Japan (Kyoto, Osaka & Hiroshima) last year November, 7/11 did not have that fruit salad sandwich ... yet? 😭
Great live stream. Love a good sandwich.
Not sure about America but sandwiches here in the UK which are often made in Europe used something injected into the bread to make it last longer.
John
You’re informed!
Great!
miss those egg sando 🤤
Really interesting video 😜
Wow John... You makes my mouth watering... 😊😊😊
Yum
Thank you 👍
Kinda funny John.. watching you eat a Japanese egg salad sandwich while eating a Dutch egg salad sandwich hahaha
I think it's not too bad if the sandwich is a bit "weak" in the back, it makes it easier to hold it - but there are too many bakery sandwiches in Hungary where the filling really is just for show in the front.
Oh gee! Shopping at 7-11 for sandwiches! So interesting!
Really I’m jealous 🤪 my favourite in Japan!
Agree 200% when I saw this title 😍
You can get your flight tickets at convenient stores? Wow!! Now THAT is convenient!!
You made me so hungry sir
it is all about the mayo there, now you can buy Japanese mayo in USA at Walmart, but this is the difference between the 2, Japanese, is a little different than American mayo, because it's made with only egg yolks-not whole eggs-and with rice or apple vinegar and no added salt or sugar. It's bottled in a slim red-and-clear container, with an emblematic baby for its logo, BAM we CAN have them here now YES YES YES lol
Great video, now I'm very hungry. Here in Australia our 7-11's are nothing like that, ours are horrible in comparison. We don't have great sandwiches like that here in our convenience stores.
Yum! Miss the egg sandwich at seven eleven.
the egg mayo sando is the absolute best in world
The sandwiches are sooooooooooooo good!
I miss those clean combinis soooo much
ugh, I miss japan so much. I wish I could travel again.
shrimp cutlet every time looks delicious
Japanese are known to be very innovative when it comes to food. No exception for sandwiches which are not a Japanese fare. Such meal is comfort food on the go and have evolved to such a degree that a lot of Japanese are eating them. Good and great to eat, and light on the pocket.
I was addicted to the combini sandos last time I was there, which is perhaps and improvement over family mart fried chicken from the time before that. We do packaged sandwiches well here in the uk but Japanese ones are so satisfying.
If you will ever come to Italy someday, don't forget to try the italian sandwiches and then you will tell us wich ones are better.. Even the ones from the supermarkets are fine.
It is really not possible to compare the sandwiches made in Asia with the italian ones (or maybe i could say european), they are 2 different worlds / cultures.
Yes! that Royal Milk Tea!
Its the Umami, and they're a LOT more healthier then US ones for sure!!
Ebikatsu sandwich has a breaded katsu, so they skimp on the outer bread?
Hawaii's 7-11 has been upgraded, but still not on Japan 7-11 level yet.
I keep hearing that the egg salad sandwiches from 7-11 are godly. True?
