I wish food at convenience stores in the US looked like the food there. It always looks thrown together here.
yes Japan is insane right? The vending machines are crazy too.
Though I had been to the US, I found food at 7-11 is so boring 🥱, but if you buy hot meals at SAFEWAY , they have better options.
I've read that 7-11 USA is currently trying to get a supply chain in place to start modeling the Japanese 7-11's food quality. I'm guessing it'll still be American food.
Comes down to pride in the work
Very comprehensive comparison from price, weight and personal preference. Thank you for the efforts put into the comparison.
It was fun watching you be surprised! It's nice when old familiar things exceed one's expectations.😊 Love to you both. 💙💚
This was such a fun video. We loved it! I'm a fan of the Family Mart egg salad sandwich. Looking forward to seeing you guys this spring.
I am so envious that you have convenience stores so close to you with such delicious food at very reasonable prices😊Love all your videos, especially this one❤ありがとうございました🙏
Love these kinds of videos so I hope you do more of them. Your cup ramen videos were so awesome and I'm hoping you do an update especially any collabs with ramen stores.
blind taste testing would make this more interesting
Love this video. Nice comparisons with details, pictures, and information. Thanks guys!
I really enjoy these type of videos. Thank you.❤
Thank you for the review. I've been wondering about the egg salad sandwich myself whenever I'm in Japan but never compared them. It's really easy to eat, unlike sourdough. Although I wish the egg sandwich had either lettuce or grilled zucchini for a bit of crunch! 😋
Will have to try your favourites when I finally visit Japan in September 😍
Thank you for your content! We really enjoy you two and your reviews/information
Thanks so much for watching!
To be fair... I'll take any of those, from any of the markets, over the junk we have here in the US. But I'm surprised at the results after this. I'd say Lawson deserves the win!
As a tourist the 7-11 egg sandwich in my opinion is the best family mart onigri tuna is the best for me, Lawson melon bread is the best in my opinion.
Great video! I can't wait to try your favorites when we go to Japan 😍
Though our hotel has quite a popular breakfast restaurant, we prefer popping over 7-11 across the street for their egg sandwich, premium salt grilled Salmon & premium gold sablefish with miso
Bought some Lawson X Godiva collab desserts yesterday .. yet to try it but looks pretty good
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your videos ! ! ! ! My wife and I will be there the first week in April for 8 days. Your videos have helped me soooo much. It's still so overwhelming though. Can you recommend a personal tour guide service? We will be in Tokyo for 4 days and then in Osaka for 4 days, making day trips to surrounding areas. So excited !
I enjoyed the more analytical approach to this comparison. I would love to hear your thoughts by comparing your favorites from this video to similar items from popular tourists traps. Such as the famous melon pan shop in Asakusa. taking into consideration price, taste and convenience.
this is a really entertaining video. i had a laugh when u both agreeded on your favorites do more taste tests
I’m so excited for this 🙂
The Lawson egg sandwich is popular with foreigners because Anthony Bourdain revealed it to be his “guilty pleasure” when in Japan. So it became well known to his large eternal fan base. Personally, I have always preferred the Family Mart version, which used to be the cheapest too. But they are all good and I eat a lot of them when in Japan as they are great as a light meal.
I also wonder how universal the taste comparison actually is. The big convenience stores have a number of regional suppliers: the fresh food items are not all made in Kanto and then shipped to all stores throughout Japan.
Anthony Bourdain, praised sisig as a gateway to Filipino cuisine and said it could be a hit around the world. not much happened there though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I will always eat my tamago sando from the point first. That is the way. My husband and I are visiting Japan this May. So looking forward to trying many of your recommendations. Thank you.
Please more edits with Satoshi meditating 😂❤ or just funny cuts in general
0:15 "a long long tamago"
Nice vid guys nice tanita scales too!!!!😊👍🏻
Love from México, you are the best guys doing this videos, my best wishes for both 🎉🤗🧧💐🫂
I was a little surprised about the onigiri because I think they both said before that 7-Eleven had the best rice.
I've always loved the lawson curry rice.
also giong through the comments, I saw a lot of people mention how they wish US convenience stores had food like Japans.
Having spent 2.5 years in Japan, I totally agree.
Thank u for all yall do. I love yalls videos so much😅
Gentlemen! Love your channel. You complement and enhance each other in sharing opinions and impressions. And I love Japan and have good friends in the Kanto area. I've had the pleasure to visit Japan 35+ times for business (from the SF Bay Area) and your show helps me experience more of Japan when I'm not there. Bless you and thank you. 🙏👏
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate you watching!
I watch a TH-cam channel ran by a family that was stationed in Japan and they have me wanting to go Japan for arcades, the lottery games, lucky bags and these convenience stores.
I like this comparison food challenge. Thank you! I will try them again soon and let you know. 😅
This video made me hungry!
Been a while since I watched you guys and randomly thought of you today. It's so lovely seeing you two again.
Also LOVE how much Satoshi likes umami - Same Satoshi, same! ☀
My daughter LOVES the Lawson spaghetti. A LOT. 😁
I can’t wait to go over there and try all these things. 🎉
Tamago Sando: Family Mart. Tuna Onigiri: Family Mart. Fried Chicken: Lawson. Melon Bun: 7/11. Curry: Sorry, but I just don’t care for curry. Where is my Chicken Steak from Family Mart? I miss it!
This video was so fun to watch. Now I want to do the taste test myself. Last time I liked Seico best in a lot of categories
Ahhh one of the best parts of our trips to Japan is visiting the Konbini ❤ it would be ace if you could compare the depachika at Takashamaya, Isetan and Yodabashi 🎉 Thankyou for always making content that brings us nostlagia, very much appreciated 😊
Our local Lawson store has some food items they make at the store like bentos, hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken. They make excellent egg salad and tonkatsu sandwiches. They are very tasty, try it on your next trip here!
I'm team 711. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I really love these types of reviews!!❤. Your cup noodle review led me to finding some new flavors that i could try from HMart here in the States. Love to you both 😘. Happy Lunar New Year 🧧
Squeeeee we leave for Japan in the morning and we are sooooooooooo excited!!!! First thing is to get my egg sandwich!!!!!!! Thanks for the review. Ps love you guys x
Again a great video!
I am a fan of "Tamago-Sando" & "Melon-Bread" - everyone of them looks good!
Absolutely JEALOUS! 🇺🇲 doesn't have the variety or quality over the board at 7/11 type marts but if you stop at these mega marts where semi trailers stop, you'll be amazed with some great foodie centric items and restaurants. I know Japan has these mega marts as well on their freeway equivalent stops for folks driving large vehicles, tour busses etc. 🌞
Oh Shinichi and Satoshi I really love curry and I also love making it and there is a Japanese store in Utah that me and my son and his dad drive to it and get these small boxes of Vermont Curry that is made in Japan and it is so delicious and I always put in hamburger, potatoes, carrots and onions and the spices in these are so tasty and all of our favorites, and also add the rice with it and I really love that curry so much, I do love a delicious curry. Chicken Katsu is also one of my favorites and I also have cooked that, there is also this eating place called Mobetta's that has the food from Hawaii and they have the Katsu chicken and terriyaki chicken and shrimp and a few other kinds of meats, it has really delicious food. Gosh I really love seeing all of your great videos they are so fun to watch and see so much delicious food. I know when we go to that Japanese store there are alot of really great foods that we can get and enjoy alot. Sending love and hugs, bye! 😋🥰😍💕💜💜💜💜💜
Loved this episode very fair comparison.
Are you sitting at a Tatami .
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SINICHI. HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT YEAR
always watned to know this answer!
I'm so excited! For the first time I'm actually eating Japanese food while watching your taste test video! 😂 A local place added tonkatsu ramen to their menu so I got to try something new. I have no idea if this comes close to authentic but I loved it! Delicious.
Thank you for doing this video! Trying to get my bf into eating from conbini if we go to Japan. I have gluten allergy so cannot eat at his favorite McDonalds or most cheaper restaurants. These type videos are getting him more interested in trying!
The ministop spicy fried chicken is bomb when fresh
Now I'm craving tuna mayo musubi!!
Unfortunately, I never was in Japan, so I've never tasted it in person. I hope, I can visit Japan in 2-3 years.
Best fried chicken is Mini Stops spicy fried chicken. They’re just not as widespread as the big 3
I love the tamago Sando from 7-11 Japan 😍
The curries looked good. Wish you tried the karaage. The combination was quite a bargain.
I worked at 7-Eleven in Japan, so I might be a little biased, but it's my overall favorite. I also think it has the best price-to-quality ratio. That said, Lawson's chicken is my favorite-highly underrated. Family Mart, on the other hand, is too greasy for my taste.
The great showdown!
Family Mart has consistently been my favourite, though I have no issues with the other 2 big names. They're all great.
I wanted to do something similar when I was in Osaka a few weeks back, but for some reason I couldn’t find an egg sando at any family mart. Ended up doing the fried chicken comparison. Family mart wins for me. It’s everything I want from “convenience” fried chicken. Fatty, juicy, flavorful. The seasoning tastes most like KFC to me.
Amazing video, thanks for posting!
So much fun to see the comparison. I wonder which one surprised you the most? Lawson's Curry, I think.
i had a spicy tuna mayo with corn onigiri but i can't for the life of me remember where it was from. it was the very best one i had from a konbini
What! 7-11 tuna mayo onigiri is my favorite hands down. The nori is so much nicer.
Fabulous!
When visited Japan twice (from UK) in 2023...it was Family Mart for me!....I loved their egg sandos....I eat A LOT!....It's the conbini I would go to...I rarely went to 7/11...And Lawsons just once I think.
I usually go the the convenience store closest, so most of the time it's 7/11. But when I lived in Yanaka it was the Lawson. That said I think I go to the supermarket most of all. As long as you don't have to heat up food, I think a supermarket is also great for tourists as they have a lot of bento, sweets etc.
There is just one think I always buy at 7/11 and that is the custard waffles😅
This was great fun! I recently watched a Ytb page Kyodokan make a "Japanese Egg Sandwich", Tamago Sando. He is fun to watch but very particular. Sieved and mashed the yolks. He added 1 pt salt, two pt sugar and a special mirin. I'm going to try and make this because I can't get it here. BUT - in searching for him I saw there is video from you guys making it (5 years ago) so I'll have to watch that too. Funny about the curry battle and Lawson winning. I like spicy curry. I've watched several people make this and apple is often added to the sauce. Hello from rainy Oregon US.
My favorite store has always been Lawson but Familymart chicken cannot be beat, the thigh and the spicy nuggets
Spicey FamiChicki is my fav and when in Japan I have at least 2 a day....they are amazing! Egg Sando...I like Family Mart...
I love 7:11 melon bread and fruit bread and coffee the egg sandwich was okay the coffee and melon bread is so good and fruit sandwich is so yummy I want to go back just to eat 😋😊
I love the egg sandwich from 7-11
Can you please please do a calorie comparison of each ❤
Love the Japanese convenience stores. Aussie Bob
Was in Japan September thru November. In cities, country side and coast line northeast. Family Mart is not as common in country rural areas and northeast coastal communities like Lawson's and 7 Eleven. Preferred egg salad sandwich with more filling because price and quality were good match. Cant remember but fid not prefer the fried chicken that tsse like Kentucky. Too greasy. Tuna Onigiri liked best was Family Mart and 7 Eleven thus item was always sold out quick in both. Conclusion all three locations have great food - sandwiches and meals for in the go convenience. I cluding the cucumber, ham, egg salad 3 layers.
All of these things I love making at home but man I sure miss being able to just buy them at a konbini in Japan!
It all looks delicious to me
I'd love to see you do a blind taste test and rank them without knowing the price!
this is SUUUUUPPPPEEER Interesting. I wish we had these luxuries in the Bay Area!
I have eggs that need to be used. So, egg salad is back on the menu!
the best tuna may onigiri is the other one from familymart with the brown rice thats smaller
I don’t care for egg salad sandwiches because the egg tastes to chickeny.
🤣🤣🤣
I take Cholula packets with me to add to my egg sando.. trust me.
Aloha 🌺 🥰♥️
Good afternoon from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. No matter how or where a TAMAGO SANDO (egg-salad sandwich) is made, the bread 🍞 is usually dry, and not much taste to the scrambled eggs inside other than salt 🧂 and mayonnaise……, so it’s quite boring….🙄
When you weigh your food items, did you subtract the weight of the plate ?
Yep we did
A long, long tamago.

Hi guys ,,, question… why is Japanese (not included Tokyo or other big city) emergency room so outdated? I’m sure you have already heard that one famous celebrity from Taiwan died in japan due to lack of medical attention in the emergency room. She died from influenza but the local hospital didn’t want to transfer her to the city hospital at first and many other inconveniences due to her foreigner status. She was 48 years old when she passed away… don’t saving life’s in country such as Japan should be prioritize? A country so modern and convenient yet … how do this happened? I am not asking answer from you guys, I’m just asking if there is any information that you can shared in terms of foreigners checking them into an emergency room that is more countryside.
😘😘❤️🥰😍🤩💯🌹🌈🙏
Familymart is my favourite combini. You guys should take us to gogo curry (the gorilla curry) 🦍!
