I learned I was allergic to hazelnuts by complaining to a friend about how "spicy" Nutella is to me lol, so you using it as an example of something non-spicy gave me a chuckle
I have the same issue with pea and and walnuts!! They make my mouth burn, and I get an allergic reaction of the roof of my mouth and gums that burns like it has been blistered by really hot food. Luckily for me though, neither one of those nuts are ones that I really like.
Gas stations in Japan don't have any convenience stores or kiosk. People go to convenience store when they want to go to convenience store. Most of people have at least one combini in walking distance.
Manny comments here are right that regular gas station are not like convenience stores - however, any highway rest stop has a gas station and beyond amazing (most even at night) convenient stores, restaurants and shops for local goods and sweets
Random note: Chicken is "Ayam" in Indonesian, pronounced similarly to "I Am". So if you say "I Am Chicken", in Indonesian you are phonetically saying "chicken chicken". 🐓🐓
The rule for food spiciness is, the closer to the equator the culture is located, the spicier its food will be. The northernmost point of mainland Japan is at the same latitude as Ottawa, Canada, while the southernmost is nearly as far south as New Orleans, Louisiana. So that’s why.
@@Writingspirit0-vk4ekwhat? Im decently sensitive and i thought it was bustling and welcoming. I didnt sense any loneliness, aside from the masks that people wear feeling quite isolatory (is that a word? Idfk)
@@Writingspirit0-vk4ekI never got that vibe from Japan. I've been there quite often as a tourist. Unless you're actually living in Japan, you won't really feel the loneliness
@@christiethecrabEven better! 😃 I've been to Japan with my family, and we had an absolute blast together! The only downside is that the hotel rooms are small
I wish they would do international weeks at 7-11 in the States. It just makes so much sense. US convenience stores just don't get close to these kinds of food options. Hawaii gets close but that gets expensive.
You nailed it. Almost everyday I buy famichiki and mate it with rice. It's very juicy, crust very crunchy and served hot so you can enjoy it. You don't need to dip it on any condiments.
Looove Famichiki!! Especially with Bulldog and Kewpie. Preferably yuzu-Kewpie... Sometimes between a couple of slices of Pasco 5 or 6 or soft rolls, or cut up on a bowl of rice. With kimchi. 💚🤍💙
I'm watching this and in my head, my mind is chanting : "FAM - I - CHI - KI, FAM - I - CHI- KI !!!!" I might have issues with loving Japanese convience store food too much. 😳😂💜
Day seven of telling you that you should really go to Gyukatsu Motomura in Harajuku. They have really good gyukatsu meal sets, and they give you a little grill to cook the meat to your desired doneness. The cutlets were good, but the sauce they served with the cabbage salad was really good. I wish I knew what exactly it was, or how to make it. The restaurant I went to is really close to a ripndip store, down a flight of stairs, but I believe it is a restaurant chain. It had a bit of a line when I went there too, but I highly recommend it.
epic tip is to get this with some kind of bread there (preferably some cheese bread). Put the two together and you have yourself a quick sandwich. can also eat it with ramen too
Omg didn’t realize this was a summer exclusive lol I just saw a spicy version last Friday and was like, “Ok the spicy habanero one pls,” BUT YES SOOO JUICY!
I prefer the 711 chicken but yes family mart and the other convenience stores have some of the best chicken in the world… seriously… it sounds crazy but it’s true, it’s addicting and one of the things I miss most about living in japan
Have you covered the famichiki burger yet? literally my favorite addition to the family mart lineup. I think it's singlehandedly responsible for me gaining 5lbs last year. In case you don't know what I'm talking about you can order a bun along with the famichiki to put it in and it's excellent
Famichikki isn't the best chicken in Japan, but it is definitely freaking awesome. Famichikki plus boss coffee is always my first meal when I just arrived in Japan.
You can actually get the frozen package there. One time when Famichiki had a really big discount (50%) without strings attached, I literally got 3 frozen packages (30pcs) and just save it in my freezer and eat everytime I crave one.
'I'm tired of things not being spicy in Japan', as an Indonesian myself, this is extremely relatable. The first thing I looked for was nasi padang (and anything spicy) after living in Japan for a year.
Convenience store foods and supermarket packed foods are really the way to go if you're saving money. They're so handy, cheap, tastes great, and can be heated up in any accommodations because most if not all accommodations have microwaves
