When you had cup o noodles for dinner I was like oh no she’s gonna be hungry again in a half hour! Lol. I’d like to try the lemon sour drink and I love that they sell ice cups.
Twenty-four hours of conbini food in Tokyo: that's easy. Egg salad sandwiches from Lawson for breakfast. Coffee. Onigiri and green salad for lunch-FamilyMart. Apple juice. Dried squid for afternoon snack. Curry bowl for dinner-7-11. Or kaarage from FamilyMart. Dinner washed down with Suntory "Strong".
Hi, I am native Japanese from Yokohama in Japan. I’ve just subscribed your channel on RU-vid. You have a lot of knowledge about Japanese culture. It is quite interesting to introduce Japanese everything and thanks for introducing Japanese culture.
One of my mistakes visiting Japan for the first time was getting too hyped about Combi’s. Yeah they are fantastic and everywhere but it’s almost too easy to settle for a combini meal instead of going out and sitting down somewhere. Really are missing out if you’re sitting in your hotel room with a bowl of microwaved noodles and a sando!
I feel like every time we watch your videos, they get noticeably better and better. To make a 25 minute video feel like 5 minutes is such a talent! Seriously. We love kombini videos and can't wait to make them in the future ourselves..though it'll be pretty hard to top yours. So good! 😄
Need to up the challenge for the next one - like, 24 hours of only Lawson's food/drink BUT stuff you've not tried before! Love these kind of videos though, convenience stores might be the world over but it's always good to see what different items there is!
Thank you very much for your posting! 24 hours of ONLY Japanese Convenience Store Food is a very interesting project☺ You are perfect convenience store master🏪
I’m on Japan time again, something that happens from time to time when my brain needs a break. Loving the food and socks! Thanks again for another wonderful video! Much appreciation from the States!
Please do a healthy combini challenge too! I’d love to see what I should be eating and grabbing. Also family mart was my favorite! I’ll have to give Lawsons another try next time
Recent subscriber from UK here. Love your channel and your food videos. I find them so useful and entertaining. I am visiting Japan for the first time in a few months and I cannot wait. Thanks for the great content.
This konbini episode was awesome! Thanks for doing this, Sarah-san! Convenience stores in Japan are a totally viable option for tourists on the go. Prices are reasonable and the food is decent quality. I think even the 'junk food' options you chose today are still healthier than what's available at American convenience stores! And I love that so many of them even have a nice little dining area in-store. I'll join the chorus in saying yes, please do the 'Sarah's healthy version' episode. You've hit the top 3, how about some of the other chains within, say, the top 10? Mini Stop, Daily Yamazaki, etc.? I know in the Kansai area, a lot of the local train lines had their own convenience chains that you could find at the stations or on the platform. I think Hankyu's was Asnas (As Soon As), if I'm not mistaken. I'm going off memory from over a decade ago, so I could be a little out of touch. But I wonder, if that's still the case, maybe you could cover some of the local konbini chains around the Tokyo area. I'm planning to visit Osaka for a few weeks later this summer with my wife. It'll be my first time back in Japan since 2008!! I'm looking forward to trying out some of the things you've covered (also TC, Lyssa, Charla, that guy Chris Abroad, etc.). I hope to catch at least one hanabi matsuri while I'm there. I'm looking forward to the eventual boyfriend reveal. He's a lucky man!! I'm sure he knows it 🙂
Yay... Curry flavor Cup Noodle! My friend in Tokyo brought me some couple years ago. It was really popular then, so I had a dozen mini size! He later mailed me a case, but because it had pork, it got confiscated by customs.
love the fact you don't like seafood (I don't either) so I get to see food (no pun intended) in Japan I would actually want to try... thank you for such fun and interesting videos Seera 😀
When I knew you bought the plums, I eagerly awaited the 'cat bum' reaction face. You did not disappoint. On a side note, we saved a lot of money in Tokyo by eating onigiri from 7-11. We can't get good ones here in Australia, and I'd love to see them on our shelves.
I highly recommend the convenience store called WELLER in Shibuya/Ebisu. It is all vegan, super tasty, and healthy too ❤ I love their freshly made to-go items. 😊
I find it hilarious that 7-11 is considered a good store in Japan when the 7-11s we have in the U.S are sketchy, have a horrible selection, sell expired food, and the "ready to eat" food is very likely to give you the bubbleguts.
I am a 7-11 man but I must admit I am rather impressed with what was available in the natural lawsons, it is a very good selection! and yes you should do a healthy combini run!
Full open top type can will spray out when opened at room temperature. It is best to chill it well before drinking😅 IYOSHI Cola has a different flavoring for the canned version sold in IYOSHI's flagshipsto store. I recommend buying it at the store when you go to Shibuya. At the flagship store in Shibuya, they also sell cola syrups, making it perfect for souvenirs.
I'm from Germany and grew up with Yakult. I walk by it fairly often and am tempted every time. Might splurge and actually buy it for myself. Does it taste like it used to?
Yes, please, more of those kind of Conbini Videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Every time I learn something new (because of the seasonal changes) 🥰❤️ And especially for summer I need those survival tips, like solid frozen bottles in the freezer section 🥵🪭☀️☀️☀️
I would live on the little Coolish vanilla ice cream pouches and egg salad sandwiches alone. Those are my favorites. LOL You also look gorgeous in this vid seerasan
5:00 this is me every time. I’m checking out at the grocery store, I feel like half of my car is just full of drinks. Lol and I love those little yogurt drinks too. We have them here in Florida.
🥤🧃🧋✨🫐🍙🍡🥐That’s a great price for a coffee, these days! They are on the pricey side!🥹Can’t complain! Even better, if it tastes Amazing!🤩✨I love your outfit 🤍 and hairstyle! 👱🏼♀️Take care, and stay hydrated! The weather is great but it’s certainly, easy to melt away!🫠👒🧃 Can’t catch any, 💤💤💤at the moment!😭
Don't force yourself to eat Ume, if you can't handle it. Acquired taste exist for a reason. Like an Aussie loving Natto for example. Oh yeah, Aussie 7-11's have those Ice cups for Iced coffee too. Will agree those are the best for summer.
Only 24 hours! I just got back from Osaka, I nearly did that for 24 DAYS lol. I'm now a man that carries a FamiMart logo color imabari sweat towel for my forehead!
Nice video! I learned a few things about snacks! I also would like to see a healthy version with maybe vegetarian options. If possible please. 😊 last time i was in japan all i ate was egg sandwhiches and egg onigiri because i had no idea what was what.
YAS pls do a "healthy" version!! I also try to eat with a healthy balance in mind and am going to be throughout Japan for 5 weeks, doing a vid like that would help me and others plan or what to expect if trying to be health conscious while on a budget.
Love your vids 🙂. My mother born/raised in Okinawa. I was born/raised in California. Your vids help me rediscover my love for japanese food. I work at a japanese market! Thank you 😊.
I think we ate most of our meals at convenience stores when we were in Japan! Miss the milk or soy pudding cups and my husband ate SO many jelly cups! Any my fav. Sparkling water is from Family Mart and is grapefruit flavour.
The "classic" combini is Lawson. I remember living in Japan when that was the only one you could reliably find and it was kind of crap. I like how it has competition now and so they're all al lot better.
I’m a US born Japanese and your lunch didn’t appeal to me at all - especially those drinks🤣🤣 it’s strange since I’m very adventurous when it comes to eating! Love your videos . I always look forward to them.
Gosh Yakult was like one of the quintessentially Japanese bev that I have always assumed no foreign resident without 5+ years spent here would even be aware of! Widely available in Australia? My life has been a lie
I just finished reading it yesterday 🥺 was a really touching book! At the airport I saw there’s a part 2? So might need to pick that up! Also very keen to hit up a kissaten after reading it now too ☕️
I am literally reading that book currently! I actually read Before We Say Goodbye first (which I think may be the 3rd or 4th in the series) and it was honestly better in my opinion.. faster paced with a lot more cups of coffee IYKWIM. I also recommend the book What You’re Looking For is in the Library for another great Japanese read! 💛 Ps love the kawaii buns! 😍 EDIT yes please, a healthy version of this challenge would be so good!
