Trying NEW Hawaiian Food from Japan 7-Eleven 

Shinichi your Expression at 21:10 is Priceless

I love all of your videos, but this was one of my favorites. Please keep this attitude lol! I love how honest (and sassy, looking at you Shinchi 😉) you both were here. My partner and I have a running joke where whenever you say "it's not bad..." we both go "but it's not good." I literally cackled when you actually finished the sentence yourself in this one!! 😂😂😂

You are an inspiration! My husband and I are planning on going to Japan next year and we are watching all your videos to get to know it better. We are in love with you both and with Japan.

Satoshi, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but McDonald's Hawaii no longer has saimin on their menu. The Okahara Saimin company closed after nearly 90 years in business. We are hoping that they can make a deal with another local supplier. On a good note, 7-Eleven Hawaii does offer saimin made locally by the Warabeya USA company.

the mochiko chicken musubi looks delicious!!!!!

It's uncommon that you find the food so unsatisfactory. It's fun to see Satoshi trying not to be negative in his comments. :)

Looking at satoshi's cooking videos, butter mochi is just 1 of the many dishes he's good at. His dishes always looks oishi! 😋😋

We recently had a poke bowl place open near us. We were so excited, we got bowls 3 times in the first week. Very tasty, but not quite the same as Hawaii and we weren't sure why. Salt! SALT! And the shoyu is a little wrong too. 😅 But it's close. Close enough that we still get bowls pretty often. We are so afraid the place will close. It's very new and different for this area full of chain restaurants, pizza, and americanized Chinese food places.

Nothing can really beat getting different foods in Hawaii! Unless you can cook them yourself!

I was in Kauai recently visiting family and I remember I was spending each day at my favorite places and kept putting 711 off figured id get to it eventually. The days came near till I was gonna leave in a couple days so i stopped at 711 before diving was just gonna get a few musubis and some hawaii unique stuff just to do it. Ended up buying 2 of everything in the warmers, it was like 40 bucks worth of stuff ended up being my breakfast lunch and dinner haha.

ALOHA 🌺 Satoshi and Shinichi, this was a special treat. Having just been to Hawaii where the food is rich and plentiful in portions. Its ok to feel a little let down with the flavors today. But I guess there is always room for improvements which l love about your reviews . And Japan is quite willing to listen and adapt for tourists which is excellent. I personally loved the whole idea and concept of today's selection ✨️ 😍. Thanks 💛 for the experience.

Hi guys thank you for this lovely video. No-one can do this better than you two. It was so much fun and a delight to watch. Very best wishes. Joan Nagase, Manchester England.

Being from Hawaii, I have found that lilikoi/passionfruit outside of Hawaii tastes way different than in Hawaii. I agree with you both.

This makes me miss Japan even more! I love that they always come out with new stuff! ♡

I would settle for this quality convenience store food over what we get in my country! I wouldn't expect it to be really authentic, even in Japan but it seems like they tried. The onigiri looked quite tasty!

Such an awesome food review, exciting that 7-Eleven is bringing Hawaii's flavors to Japan, my son went to Japan over 11 years ago and loved 7-Eleven's food, he and his friend loved so many foods in Japan, and one day I think he might move there, he speaks and writes Japanese, and if he did I would love to visit him there. I have always loved your food review videos, you both are enjoying the foods and desserts so much and that gives me joy, love you both, sending love and hugs, bye for now.🥰💜

13:53 that's right, Shinichi!

What’s funny about this is that the 7/11’s in Hawaii have some of these items on a regular basis, but it looks nothing like the ones you two have tired. Especially the mochiko chicken. Lol

Love you guys. Totally enjoy watching every chance I get. You guys ROCK!!!

Hi Shinichi and Satoshi good to see love these kind of 7-11 food trying thanks for sharing this with us all 😘😘❤️👍🥰🤩😍🥰🦄🐈💝👌🌸🌼🌻🌺🌸 Love the shirt's looking 👍😊

Shinichi-san and Satoshi-san…next time you guys are back on Oahu, I recommend trying Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop for malasadas. They now operate from a food truck in Kailua and currently in located in Manuhealii’s parking lot. I enjoy your videos. Mahalo!

Interesting, I guess because Hawaiian food has a lot of Japanese influence, they figured it would do well back in Japan too. They should have Japanese 711 snacks all over the US.

As a Local Hawai'i girl who has lived in Japan, I don't think I would buy any of the "Hawaiian Food" at 7-Eleven in Japan, except maybe the onigiri (which is not anything authentically found in Hawai'i). Nothing really looked good to me and I agree with Shinichi's and Satoshi's opinions. I wonder if 7-Eleven could make some kind of deal with S & S Saimin to sell their products, or at least the dashi packets. I think it would be a big hit in Japan and make Satoshi very happy.

I love 7-11 Hawaii dishes. It is neat how you are able to cook the rice and noodles separately in Japan. For the saimin where is the spam? Lol. Have you tried 7-11 dishes in Hawaii?

This might be the first 7-11 video I've seen from you are where a majority of the food is just "okay"

So interesting because you were just in Hawaii! :D Love your Hawaiian shirts!

Omg everything looks so good I’m so hungry

You guys are too cute. Still in Hawaii mode. More reason to come back soon.

It’s always really nice to see you both. Thanks for sharing the food haul!

Nice to see 7-Eleven Japan making the effort to bring Hawaii's flavors to Japan. Maybe if you haven't been to Hawaii and tasted the real things, you'd think it’s all really good. 😎🌴🌈

Happy Pride Month guys!!🌈 You both look so relaxed from your trip. Glad you had such a good time. Everything looked really good.😊

thats interesting that japan 7-11 has special items. i give 7-11 an A for effort great items that they offer but they dont look like the taste authentic hawaiian. great idea 7-11 should use tabi eats as their taste team

What I’ve been waiting for

The Hawaiian donut should have had macadamia nuts included. Not just some color. Chintzy!!

Love their timing considering your trip lol. Happy Pride to you both as well 🏳‍🌈

ロコモコ食べましたが、お二人と同じ感想でした！ グレービーソースって書いてあるのにデミグラスの味が勝ってて騙された？となりました💦

You two get even more handsome as time goes on. I want your aloha shirt, Shinichi! 😄 The striking red and blue/grey pattern is so modern, yet traditional. And your vibrant blue aloha shirt, Satoshi, with its bright pink hibiscus and green monstera leaves and palm fronds, suits you perfectly! Do men still wear lavalava for casual wear in Hawaii, Shinichi? My dad always looked fabulous in his. I think it would be hard to be perfectly objective about the Japanese versions of Hawaiian food after just being home on Oahu. I agree with you both that obvious effort was made and 7-Eleven gets big points for that! And, tbh, compared to the food our mainland 7-Elevens carry, every one of these items looks delicious to me! They definitely should hire you as a consultant, Shiichi! Thank you for another wonderful video!!

Lol I can tell what's missing in the food.. what's in fried rice they use oyster sauce and msg that's what you tasting. locomoco they need to dump I mean dump grill onions that thing look like there was none lol that's why meat taste like pork. and butter mochi they need use chunkier coconut shavings... yah the thing is I think some was modified for health reasons so they made it that way..

OK, from your review, sounds like most of these Hawaiian foods are just OK. I was at 7-11 last night and saw some of those items. The fried rice looks good, I'll try it! Thanks guys for another nice food tasting.

Hmmm...maybe if you had not just come back from Hawaii, you may have given more favorable reviews to 7-11? But like others have said, 7-11 needs to hire the both of you so they can improve their offerings next year!

So interesting to hear about Hawaiian salt! I had no idea this was a thing. Poké is pretty popular the UK and Belgium but I must assume that they don't do it properly then. I think they just use sushi rice for the base.

Visually everthing looked very appetizing -- sorry to hear that the taste was just OK for you. But it's kind of good to know, that regional, freshly made food will always surpass the ready made stuff from the supermarket. For me the taste of the food also depends on the location: Even if I bring home my favorite treats from the holidays they will never taste as good as when I ate them there...

Thank you! I've used your butter mochi and chocolate butter mochi was amazing! 7-11 in lower 48 needs to step up their game. Those hot dogs ugh

Sadly the company who provided Saimin closed so it’s no longer available at McDonald’s. Strange to not be able to get it

Hi Guys, please never go to 7/11 Aussie as disappointing.In Oz an Aussie burger 🍔 often means pineapple 🍍 slice which I dislike in savoury, especially tinned pineapple so shame not all was up to high standard but buy more fried rice as you enjoyed it, hopefully your mum visits soon& suspect you have planned another overseas trip,take care

I know the fried rice from Hawaii with more ingredients than that version shown, no dashi, often long-grain rice, oyster sauce (that was may be the flavour that irritated you) is used etc. Take care

Nice 👍🏽

I think all the passionfruit was at the bottom of the cup

The food started out real good I went downhill fast. 😆

Sorry the dishes weren’t as good as they could be - they need to hire you as tasters for sure. Still very entertaining though ☺️

Die meisten Gerichte werden im Geschmack ja oft auf das jeweilige Land abgestimmt. Was ich auch gar nicht so schlimm finde. Für mich sieht es alles köstlich aus. Besonders die Onigiri. 🤤🍤🍚🍣🍙🍘

I actually like Pipeline better than Leonard’s.

♥️♥️Aloha

Lol,,, just like all those Taiwanese food in Japan tasted un Taiwanese to me 😂😂 so ,,, what can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sounds like you really liked Pipeline Bakery's malasada. They must have used fresh oil this time. I tried it once and you could tell that the oil was old. My wife refuses to get their malasada now. I have to get a little nitpicky. I wish you hadn't called this video New Hawaiian Food. Poke was the only Hawaiian dish, the rest was Hawaii local foods. Some of the food did look good though.

Please bring Japanese 7eleven to America... You can only find poke bowls in America, you cannot just buy poke alone... 😢

Sounds like they failed haha

As always a awesome RU-vid Channel. To correct you for now McDonald's in Hawaii No Longer Sells Saimin because their Saimin Supplier Okahara Saimin closed their business that was started in the 1930's. A sad day for Hawaii.........

@ 12:29 The expression on your face is priceless! Not demiglace and not gravy...then WTH is it? Hire someone from Hawaii as a taste tester? I doubt it. The Japanese never ask native English speakers to check anything, e.g. "...the train will go over a curve" "Thank you for riding with JR". The Japanese "borrow" and make things 和風. I think I'll pass on all of these, though my friend bought me a butter mochi aka bibingka which was 6/10. Not buttery at all, just OK...

Not the same….. 7-11 shouldn’t have these items out. Poke’ should be ahi ….. wife says no way!

What Hawaiian salt is not sweet bro you don’t know what you are talking about stop acting like you lived in Hawaii long time you move away bro stop acting like you from here
