Japanese CONVENIENCE STORE Breakfast FOOD TOUR - 7-Eleven, FamilyMart and Lawson | Tokyo, Japan

- I’ve been a huge fan of Japanese food ever since I was a kid, but as an adult, for some reason I never prioritized visiting the country until January of 2019, when a job with a Japanese company hired me to film a video of the Asian island nation for five days. I extended my trip by an entire week so I’d get the chance to explore on my own time, and it’s one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made. I am in love with Japan, and in this video series you’ll see why.

When I learned that convenience stores like 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson are extremely popular places to grab some breakfast in Japan, I knew I had to see what all the fuss was about, so on the morning of my second full day in Tokyo, I went around the Shinjuku area of the city to find the best convenience store food! Come along with me on my convenience store breakfast food tour of Shinjuku, Tokyo!
I left my hotel, the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, and set out on my adventure around Shinjuku. The Shinjuku area is like Tokyo’s Times Square, as well as its financial district. It’s beautiful, but this morning was really cold. Luckily it wasn’t too far from my first stop, FamilyMart!
I targeted the onigiri section and grabbed the spicy pollack roe and salmon varieties, as well as some sushi, which cost me 678 Yen, or roughly $6 U.S. Pretty good deal! Next up, Lawson!
One thing you should know about Japan is that people here don’t like to be filmed without their permission, so if you decide to go to Japan to vlog, be mindful of respecting the people around you.
On my way to Lawson, I grabbed a cold coffee from a vending machine for 100 Yen, or just $1 U.S. Vending machines are everywhere in Japan. There are over 2.4 million in the country!
I found a Lawson in the basement of the Shinjuku Center Building, where I bought a grilled pollack onigiri, a hand roll, and a green tea mochi for 460 Yen, or roughly $4.16.
It was a lot warmer when I stepped back outside and headed to my final stop, the local 7-Eleven, which happened to be right under my hotel! There, I bought a wasabi & seaweed onigiri, some salmon with rice, and a rice-covered soft-boiled egg for just 440 Yen, or $3.98 U.S. Then I headed back up through the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, a luxury, five-star hotel with 700 rooms and 6 restaurants, up to my room, where I set up my convenience store treats!
I started with the coffee, which was dark and tart, and then dove into my 7-Eleven findings. I went with the wasabi and seaweed onigiri, which was sticky with a nice crunch from the seaweed. Fantastic!
Next was the soft-boiled egg with sticky rice. The rice had a different flavor, was just okay. The salmon with sticky rice was sticky with some super fresh salmon! There’s so much rice, but it was ridiculously tasty.
Next, I went with the hand roll from Lawson, which had minced tuna inside. This is one of my favorite things to get in Japan! The minced tuna is so flavorful and the seaweed is absolutely delicious.
I followed that with the grilled pollack roe onigiri. I love onigiri so much, and this one was unreal. The creamy roe provided a nice contrast to the sticky rice.
I went with my sushi next, which came with five pieces of salmon sushi, some pickled ginger, and some soy sauce and wasabi, which I mixed together. The sushi was extremely fresh and flavorful and it was even better with the pickled ginger. Probably my favorite sushi of all time! It blew my mind!
The spicy pollack roe onigiri was next. It was very similar to the grilled pollack roe, and contained a lot of fish eggs. It was outstanding!
I finished with the green tea mochi, which is a gummy Japanese dessert made of a glutinous rice paste. They usually have something in the middle and are popular treats during the Japanese New Year. Mine contained a plum jam that was so fire!
Who knew convenience store food could be this amazing? And at only 1,724 Yen, or $15.56 U.S. in total, it’s so inexpensive for this amount of food!
I hope you liked this video of me buying and trying foods from Japanese convenience stores! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. And please subscribe to my channel!

You are still wearing turban, forgot India??
Sorry for wrong
Hey man, I had to tell you and I hope you see this because of all the onigiri I see you eating. There’s numbers in the onigiri package 1, 2, 3. You rip #1 that goes from the top and around the roll vertically like a pack of wrigleys gum. Then you pull the plastic away from the onigiri, steps 2 and 3
Hey David.... Dip ur sushi upside down not the rice part.
YOU SHOULD MAKE SEPARATE VIDEOS 3 PARTS FOR MORE CONVENIENT STORES WITH DIFFERENT MEALS AND ALSO TRY HOT VENDING MACHINE FOODS...
- TRY TO COLLAB WITH ERICSURF6...
- KINDLY HELP ME GROW MY TH-cam CHANNEL, SUBSCRIBE AND GIVE ME SHOUT OUT... I REALLY NEED TO EARN MONEY FROM TH-cam, I'M HANDICAPPED.
It hurts to see you opening the onigiri..
Right like use the pull tab
I was thinking the same..
Killed me too. There are pull tabs built in. :(
I literally screamed omg...
There's literally instructions on the wrapper on how to open it properly. My OCD is triggered!!
Just a note, for those going to Japan. Don't hand people money directly. Put the money on the tray on the counter. That's how they do it in Japan. Onigiri, there are directions on the wrapper - 1, 2, 3. That way you don't take the nori off with the plastic.
Really depends on the place. If yoy see a plate place it on there. If they dont hand it to them and let not pick them out of your hand
Fuck u
Ahhh yes the money on the plate. I had to learn that the hard way. They would get so upset when I tried to hand it to them 😅🤣
@@johnadam3707 Stop
I think you're opening the Onigiri wrong. You're supposed to pull it open from the arrow on the top and the seaweed wrapping will automatically wrap itself around the riceball.
Westerners think they are always right
I was almost yelling at my phone watching him destroy the packaging! He kept saying like the directions say, but he didnt follow them....
Read the instructions on the Onigiri 🍙 can’t you?
He’s pretty dumb. Buys the same things in every store.
He opened everything wrong lol they all come with a pull tab/tear tab
I love how you are giving instructions while not having a clue how to open the onigiri :D
Even the way he eats SUSHI is wrong.... I'm so embarrassed for him smh 😖😖
@@littlesimsie2039
I also eat sushi in the way as he do, lol
easy to put away
My bad! I didn’t have anyone to instruct. I did what I could 🙏
Davidsbeenhere You did great man, no worries. I’ve had Japanese people laugh and then instruct me, you’re not the only one
おにぎりの開け方が違いますね。open1→2→3の順に開けるとスムーズです。
There are ways to opening rice balls.
It is written with the 1・2・3 in the package.
You can eat easily if you open in the order written 1→2→3
how to open onigiri package
PULL①→②→③
I work in a factory where we make that exact thing for family mart. Haha thats where i learned how to take it off when there are extra ones that we have to throw away cus we have to separate the trash for the plastic and rice
Open your big mouth and automatically it'll open
Dude its not nice to put a camera on anyone's face not just japan
Feel like its way more common to do so in the states though
gerrr he didn’t put it in everyone’s face he even said he wouldn’t do it
it kills me how he opened the onigiri. I thought that "oh! this guy will show us few things about onigiri huh, then he started explaining things but the moment he said sushi I was like "what on earth is he saying." going to the convenience mart now to buy some onigiris in order to heal my poor soul.
Hello David you have to open onigiri different way....on one triangle there is open seal that what you pull both of side it tear than automatically nori seaweed and rice ball both seal open together such away that nori can wrap to onigiri please try that ...I am so happy you are japan too very much love from India 😍😇😇
convenience stores make sure to package the onigiri in the most convenient way possible and davids like screw that ill do it the hard way xD even though he mentions that the onigiri come with instructions on how to open them he doesnt do it how its shown on the packaging hahahah
Ice King ya because he doesn’t know ...that’s ok ...he is enjoying food thoroughly ....that is more important here I believe .....👍👍👍
@@nileshvasa8473 yeah yeah i agree its just funny to me haha
Alex Mac food sucks in Japan they all look like they are dying covering faces with masks with sickness.
wow thank you so much for letting me know!
“people here don’t like to be filmed”
*proceeds to film everyone*
I love how he was saying this while he's filming the woman walking behind him 😧😬😂
“See these people with mask on?” 👏boi
And you proceed to watch it.
I somehow admire how he doesn’t even get nervous for doing everything alone in a strange country with another different language, I would be trembling for the cold and the nerve haha also hilarious how he opens all the food like he doesn’t care cause he just woke up he has to shoot a video but he’s too hungry 😂
Thank you so much for coming to Japan! But let me tell ya...onigiri is not sushi, and it’s not made out of sticky rice.
Him: "it even has instructions on how to open it up"
Also him: *proceeds to not follow the clear directions* 🤦♀️
lol he speaks as if he knows what hes doing but hes doing it wrong
Fake it to you make it
Can’t fake it when the people of the culture/country are looking at you like your an idiot.
plus, It's not sticky rice either🤣
It hurts watching it.
Maybe he's just doing his best to celebrate the culture. He's obviously not Japanese. But he probably knows more than a lot of people whose never been to Japan....
おにぎりめくる時全部開かなくても1.2.3の順でめくっていくと綺麗に手も汚さずおにぎりに海苔が自動的に巻かれますよ👍

Facts!
With so many choices....he only got a bunch of rice 😂
The “plum jam“ in the is actually red bean paste which is really common in japan... and please do not squish the mochi
hearing him say "plum jam" hurt my heart
He can eat the mochi whatever way he wants to😂 why does it bother u
Haha thankyou... who is this guy??
Emily y u so expert??
I mean this is so classic even some random guy would know it... And that onigiri bites were rude for me... Onigiri is even if simple very strong flavored rice with filling and it is supposed to be enjoyed not to be eaten like you are a pig....
Give the guy a break, so what he opens package wrong , nice to see him enjoying the food, seems like a nice guy. I wish I had been more adventurous in the past on my travels
Damn dude fr, everyone is bashing on him while he's just trying to enjoy something foreign
i agree like wtf
Yea, sure, but why make a video about it if he doesn't eaven know how to eat...
Did he get to eat them? Yes he did and he enjoyed them so he did it right.
1,000%. There are wars going on the world, and everybody in here “mad” about how this dude eats. Get a grip.
Actually the ginger is a palette cleanser! You eat it between each different type of sushi!! You dont eat it with the sushi!!
Well, actually a good friend of mine who's Japanese puts it on her sushi so I'd say if you like the flavor go for it. I like doing it that way too(with some types of sushi)
Keep doing the videos David. You have very good presentational skills and a very good positive vibe about you.
Well done and all the best.
JAPAN IS SOOOOOO CLEAN!!!! MY GOODNESS.....Lots of love from Kenya
This looks so fantastic!! I want to be there right now. Thanks so much for sharing this eating adventure with us!
This video was literally what I was searching. Thank you
Loved watching this. Thanks David.
Who's here because they watch strickly dumpling? 😏
That's the only food blogger I follow. I feel like I'm betraying Mikey after watching this disaster.
Right! At least with Mike he knows how to eat things right!
Uh why i am now in state of comfusion
I watch Mikey, and I watch Mark wiens. Those are the only two food bloggers I follow.
GoLegenD98 I watch mike and also Simon and Martina from eat your kimchi!
Thank you for introducing Japanese foods from convenient stores . I’m happy you enjoyed them.😊
Nice looking casual combini food ! thanks for this video.
誰か正しいおにぎりの海苔の巻き方教えてやれよと思ったら、
みんなコメントしてたｗ
おにぎりの開け方ww
日本に帰ってコンビニのおにぎり食べたいー！💓💓💓
Wow we are loving this videos from Japan makes me even more to take my daughter. Thank you for sharing 😄
OMG you had so many rice balls - onigiri for breakfast! I love convenience stores in Japan. You were too hungry but there are numbers how to open those onigiri. You don't have to fight to tear that sticky part! I think you had the kusa mochi - made from Japanese mugwort filled with sweetened red bean for the desert. Great vlog again!
Plum jam? It's red bean paste.
And yeah... the onigiri thing.... >.
Warumono & It’s not a green tea mochi. It’s a ‘kusa mochi(Mochi with Japanese mugwort)’.
開け方が気になって気になってしゃーない笑
cinnamon ミートゥー
That's super smart to have the convenient stores in office buildings. What an amazing idea
I love how these videos are also descriptive and educates us on the culture. Wish we had that kind of food at our convenient stores.
At least do some research before you attempt to make video informing people. You are very wrong with many techniques, ingredients, and information.
Jesse T, litterally everything he does in this video is wrong, i struggled really hard watching this. The way he just hands money trough he’s hand, eat sushi, onigiri opening, the way he acts(specially at the counter) and the way he talks about everything like he knows something... i feel so bad for all you western people seeing this...
the seaweed crunch is so satisfying 😂
Enjoyable video ,
I’m visiting next year from U.K. 🇬🇧 and really excited 👍
Ok honestly people, I think the whole world gets it.
No matter how much you parrot the same complaint over and over, it's not going to matter. He's not in Japan anymore. These are videos he posts once he leaves the country, probably for safety reasons ofc.
We Japanese made a test for foreigner. "You can open onigiri correctly?"
Plum jam mochi?? Looks more like red bean paste lol
Fantastic Japanese Convenience Store! Thank you for sharing!😊🇯🇵🌸
i love your way to eat onigiri❤️that.s original that.s innovative way for me!i love it.
I wanna go to 7/11 and familyMart in Japan😍 it's heaven !
I love convenience store in Japan. The food so fresh, delicious and it's not expensive.
This is now my favorite food vlogging channel, bar none. I love that David puts out a new video almost everyday, no other vlogger works as hard. And he has no annoying habits like some other vloggers (over enthusiasm, weird faces with every bite, non-stop thumbs up...). The only thing I would change is the way David says "mutton", mut-ton, not mah-den, but that's just me nitpicking, sorry:). I love all the vlogs he did on Miami, and the recent tour of India was epic. This one in Japan is bound to be awesome as well. Japanese and Indian food are also two of my favorite cuisines, along with Spanish and Italian. Do a tour of Spain and Italy after this, please, and also more in the US like New Orleans, Austin, DC, NYC, Boston and Canada, Toronto, Vancouver. This channel deserves a lot more subscribers. I hope to see it grow to be the biggest food vlogging channel on TH-cam. Keep up the good work Mr. Hoffmann, you rock! Thanks for brightening up my day everyday with your videos.
I want to go to Japan so bad! Just to try they’re sushi, mochi and all that you were trying in this video! Great video!
Yours videos have been addictive
That is not how you open a triangle onigiri. There are numbers on them. You start with 1 pull down like the arrow shows. A strip comes off from the top all the way around. Then pulling the 2 & 3 side tabs it pulls the plastic between the rice and seaweed. When you do that it puts the rice and seaweed together.
WOW FINALLY FOUND MY FAV TRAVELLER!! YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!
Hello David, another cool blog of Tokyo.
lmfao!! there are numbers 1,2 and 3 on the onigiri pack. it just takes 5 seconds to get it out perfectly lol
Japan is awesome
めちゃくちゃ食べますね！
食べっぷりが気持ちいいです！
日本に来ていただきましてありがとうございます！
美味しいものいっぱい食べてください！
The way of opening is all different and interesting
very nice!
Hahahha omg ur funny
The numbers on the wrapper help u unwrap the onigiri 🍙
Maybe ask the convenience store workers
It’s much much much easier than taking all apart
Lol
Good luck
コンビニ業界の課題はもっとわかりやすい開け方を付けることやな
I want to tell him how to open it.
Other food of Japanese convenience stores are also delicious.
Thank you of visiting Japan!
Thanks for First ever experience of Japanese convenience store
Wow 7'11 in Japan is the best 😊👍
You have to open Onigiri packaging based on plastic guide wrapper numbers. 1,2,3. Peel off 1, then split aside 2 & 3. Dont just rip it off hahahaha
Food in Japan looks sooo nice
oh boy. I just discovered your channel and saw this....now, I am looking at my calendar to see when I can go home!! I wish I could just walk in to Japanese konbini(convenience store) in the States!! Enjoyed it very much. Also, it's sooo nice to hear that someone outside of Japan loves Japanese food! Arigatou for the video! P.S. Have you ever tried to pull a little tab on the very top tip of the plastic wrapper of the onigiri that has a little picture of triangle box?! If you haven't, I hope you try it. That's how it's supposed to open onigiri and that's when you see the magic;) Although, I like how you open and wrap the seeweed around rice, that way, we have a little place mat,:)
It’s not plum jam, it is red bean paste in the mochi
bro you had understand nothing about the japanese way of life, do u really think that japanese people will not put a special packet with instructions for opening properly the nigiri?
*onigiri hehe
Whoa calm down ammar. Savior of our Japanese people
I don't think he ever claimed to be an expert on japanese culture. He was happy and excited to be there and wanted to show us what he experienced there. Obviously he respects and enjoys the culture and trying to learn more about it. I really don't understand why so many people here are so desperate to scold him. Making mistakes is how we learn apart from you guys who are such experts on japanese culture that you even had the mother milk with chopsticks as a baby...
Why are they so many pressed people in the comments? Is the way he opens it a personal offence to you?
Like calm down, let people do whatever they want as long as they are harmless
I really enjoy your videos and this one was fun. Sorry about so many people getting triggered by how you opened the wrappers, its of no consequence, what matters is seeing how much you enjoyed the various foods and explained their flavors and quality. Food should be fun and enjoyable and that's what you conveyed here. Thanks, and keep doing what you do 🌸🌿
Love your videos.
Oh yeah my boyyyt
80% of comments "you are opening the onigiri wrong"
10% of comments "your information is wrong
9% of comments "hand the money on the counter"
1% of comments "i lowkey just got here from watching Japan street food"
Thats me...im the 1%.
Wow love the video and the t-shirt 😋✌️👍
OMG second onigiri is my favorite!!! I live in Canada now so I'm missing it sooo much.
no need to comment about the onigiri packaging... and that is red bean not plum jam
Onigiri is riceball :/ not sushi
Does he even taste the difference between onigiri and sushi rice? Sushi rice is kind of sour due to vinegar.
@@van03de hes dumb and uninformed
He said just like sushi never said its sushu
He even pointed it out that sushi rice is made with vinegar and onigiri rice is not... Try to pay more attention cos you are so desperate to find errors that you are missing what he actually says.
Great video!! You should do one on 10 yen sushi from the “Sushi Bar with no name” keep it up David
I need to go to the 10 yen sushi place, that's so cheap. Where is it?
Thank you!Have a nice day!
Love onigiri! The 7-11's in the US need to step up!
Yeah you're opening them the wrong way. They have numbers with tabs. 1 2 3.
DAVID CERTAINLY HAS A HIGH METABOLISM.😁👌👌
The memories man... that was one of the hotels I stayed in as well when I went
おにぎりの開け方が面白いw
The package has a instructions and it says open with an arrow. You are doing it wrong
Nice~ my fist visit to Japan also stay near Shinjuku too. hope to go near future .
Hi! I’m Japanese🇯🇵
Thank you for sharing Japanese convenience stores. I hope your stay in Japan was fun.
Even me,Japanese,always thought that Japanese convenience stores are really convenience.
Arigato David ... Healthy food tour for you ... After spicy Indian food tour ...
18:56 literally the best crunch I've ever heard 🤤😍
I became so triggered from the way you opened that onigiri like omg lol!! I watched way to many TH-camrs to know that's definitely not how you open them lol
There are numbers 1,2,3 on regular onigiris that you supposed to follow. Was painful to watch you opening those... 😑
Hi David! What kind of work do you do that allows your travels? Interested!
I came here as a gaijin former resident of Japan who misses onigiri more than you can imagine... but I can't watch you open an onigiri like that one more time, I just can't!
I want to try sushi😔😍
I'm Japanese
I think the best convenience store is seven eleven in japan.
Most of Japanese go and buy there.
I often go to there too
Loved the video, really into Japanese food at the moment but Tokyo didnt look that busy bro lol you never been to NYC?
welcome to japan 🇯🇵🥺💗💗💗
You just like ignoring instructions right? I mean you talk about eating this stuff a lot, the instructions are right there in your face, then proceeded to ignore them. XD
Also Red bean paste is jam now.....might want to study up some more before you try to teach others. lol
"You should be really carefull about filming people's faces"
*Two people's faces can be seen while he is saying that*
Aloha! Saw your collab with Shinichi. So happy to see you enjoying Japanese food. Have you been to Hawaii? You would love the food here too! Awesome vid! Thanks (mahalo).
idk if im wrong or something but when he says 'always put the ginger on top of the sushi' is that the correct way of eating it? cause i've always understood it as you eat ginger in between every sushi, because it 'rinses' your mouth, so that you can taste the other sushi's as well, am i wrong??
Cara tem números na embalagem é só puxar onde está o número 1, depois o 2 e por último se houver o 3. É ultra fácil abrir os onigiris você só complicou. Kkkkkk 😂
