The omelette that you gave Chris is validating. It's nice to know I'm not the only soul on Earth who appreciates ketchup on eggs. Out of curiosity, was there anything spicy available when you were shopping? The hot food at 7-11 franchises in the states usually have some sort of entrees with pepper jack cheese or jalapeno and cheddar amidst the rest of the offerings. I wouldn't expect spices from the Americas due to shipping costs, but surely there's something spicy made from Japanese ingredients, right?
I remember your very first set of videos were with Emma and Chris trying out certain types of food. I actually hope to see more of Emma and Chris in future Tokyo Creative videos, they are just fun together. :)
In Japan? Lawson. Their dairy selection is amazing. Here in Brazil? No one, they are all located inside gas stations and sell overpriced industrial food.
Abroad in Japan - Any food from a 7 Eleven in the U.S. would be utterly revolting. It’s amazing how much a difference there is between the stores in Japan, and in the States.
I didn't know spring roll is a thing in 7/11 Japan , at where I'm from its a cheap food usually you can get from night markets, road side stall or premium priced ones in bakery. Now I really wanna go Japan just to experience the food
outsideliesmagic - I’d help with that! I’d host him, and drive him around to the 7 Elevens of my childhood. I bet the hotdogs put on the heat grill in 1988 are still rotating there to this day.
And Ryotaro silently questions his diet, but, as we all know, he is a hired assassin who is trying to kill Chris but is too much of a gentleman to actively hurt him.
I remember at school being told off for "playing with my food" for peeling string cheese into strips before eating it. I argued back saying that this is how they were supposed to be eaten, and I got held back after school and my mum called in, who then went and showed the teacher that this was indeed how string cheese was meant to be eaten and to apologise to me for making me cry. (I was a cry baby as a child)
apologize for making u cry over food.....wow and they said my generation was soft as strawberries..... u know life is unfair,and this is more true the older u get and go out into the world,sometimes u get wrongfully blamed even though u are right,but u just have to suck it up.....because thats what the world is ......full of shyt.... but now the schools gotta apologize for making u cry over string cheese wow,poor little pattoe.... ur mom sure showed them ey........wow.if i was the school, it dont matter if we were wrong,i will have ur mom flogged,and u do the flogging. when u grow up and get a job,better be sure to make sure mommy is there to make sure ur boss doesnt make u cry or use strong or hurtful language when expressing their displeasure.
Chris is the entire reason I knew about konbini chicken when I went to Japan, and once I finally remembered that he'd raved about them I ended up having some form of konbini chicken for breakfast and lunch pretty much every day for the second-half of my trip. It's legit the thing I miss the most about my 2-week travels in Japan, is the absolutely amazing konbini chicken. The thing I miss the second-most is Strong Zero.
When I was in Japan, the foods and drinks that I liked best from 7 eleven were: Tuna/mayonnaise onigiri, curry bun, egg sandwich, melon bread, yakult and hot green tea.
@outsideliesmagic aww the udon was my least favourite japan food. I only tried it on the lat night because those baths would look at me every time you go into a shop.
I was recently made aware (during a biochem class) that those fake eggs are actually made by Kewpie. They're designed to melt when heated to produce a 'yolk-tasting, delicious sauce'. They're a mix of agar, dextrin and a boatload of artificial colorings and flavorings - a masterwork of molecular gastronomy. I still wouldn't eat too many of them, though.
Ever since Pete and Chris kept bragging on how good Coolish was, it was the first thing I brought when visit Japan last 2019. Changed my life forever. Now I feel like I should be the evangelist to all my friends who will visit japan for the first time and let them have a try on this marvelous snack.
I woke up hungover at 11am and saw this video. When I saw the thumbnail with Emma AND Chris my immediate response was "yaaaay". I can't tell if my hangover is cured or if I'm just happy now. Or both.
That moment where Chris's stumble over his own channel name makes me think "If he ever has children, he is going to HAVE to carry on exactly the same as ever, but with a young family in the car and the frames, and thus will need start a new channel called 'Abroad In a Pram'."
After a night out at the karaoke bar drinking a lot of Sapporo beers, then going to a Lawson at 3:00 am to buy fried chicken, Nikuman and yakitori is the best decision I ever made. Then I went back home feeling very drunk and very excited to eat a lot of oily calories. That feeling is the best and it really brings out the flavours.
During my trips in Tokyo I'd usually get the following as breakfast/lunch: some onigiri (often the fish ones), a bottle of orange juice, a bottle or can of coffee (Wonda coffee = best coffee), and a custard/whipped cream filled pancake. Depending on what's on stock I sometimes choose the sandwiches over onigiri and some other cake like thing instead of the pancake. Where possible maybe an extra apple or other actual fruit. And always a bottle of water for on the go. Later on the day I too would get the fried chicken... they are amazing!
Family Mart chilled coffees, pastries and crisps are exceptional. Also a lifesaver when bought the night before those crack-of-dawn-start coach tours of Mt. Fuji from Tokyo, or Kyoto/Nara from Osaka. Family Mart was my constant companion.
In Maryland, there are Royal Farms, WaWa, and 7-11. All 3 are my faves. Chris if you are ever in the states and come to Maryland Royal Farms will be your go-to store. The fried chicken is incredible.
日本の食や文化をRU-vidで発信しているジュンジローと申します。いつも楽しく動画拝見させていただいてます。撮影や編集の仕方とても勉強になります!次回の動画も楽しみにしてます!My name is Junjiro, and I'm a RU-vid fan of Japanese food andculture. I always enjoy watching your videos. I learn so much from the way you shoot and edit! I'm looking forward to your next video!
If you're comparing conbinis, the one thing Family Mart kicks ass at is... melonpan (melon bread): the one with the green shell on top and an orange coloured cream filling.
"48 lemons worth of vitamin c, *48 lemons* think about that" **working out complex math in his head** "that's 48 lemons :o" that was the highlight of the video for me, never change Chris
I love spring rolls. The Dutch have a large one which is served out of vending machines and fast food outlets, called the Loempia. It's made of a bit of meat and mainly vegetables, deep-fried and IT"S AWESOME.
Family Mart is my favorite convenience store over there. And I am not really even sure why. I never got any of the fried foods. And my favorite convenience store food is plum onigiri. Chris is just wrong when he says they're gross. They're just about the best thing ever.
Family Mart is the place to go. They have the best iced coffee with flavor options, corn dogs with the combo mustard/ketchup packet, Little dark chocolate square bites, packaged egg sandwich, and I could go on...
chris expertly pulls down the wrapping from the omellerice just a nanosecond before it enters his mouth .... ... Emma looks scared and impressed at the same time :D :D :D
