Hey everyone! A couple people mentioned that prices would be helpful, so here's what we spent at each place through the day in USD: 7-Eleven - $8.58 Family Mart - $6.54 Lawson - $11.49 That's a total of $26.61. Not bad. A couple of those meals were even hot! Hope ya'll enjoyed this one 😊

I had the pleasure to cross paths with them twice(promise not stalking them) in Tokyo. First time a little shy to say hi and they looked busy. Second time I said hi and expected and would of been happy with just a "hi" back. They were so nice and down to earth to chat to me about Japan, youtube(im just starting) and travel experiences. What you see on screen is totally them in real world amazing, humbled, hard-working creators and people. I wish them success which they deserve. Back this channel to 100k subscribers💪💪!!

Yakisoba pan (bread with noodles inside) has been for ages a comfort meal for junior high, high school kids! Gave me smiles when you picked them😊

*Convenience store fried chickens are also a very popular recommendation. The fresh and hot ones at the counter, not the ones from the fridge✨ Some prefers Lawson, some prefers Family Mart. *Fun thing I have another youtube video on my browser, and the Japanese idol in it is having the same salad and a melon bread from 7-11 as her usual breakfast. ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9Wmdaadm5u5iIE.html )(Link just to provide a reference to the video.) *Some kids can't live without Melon Bread. Melon is the shape not the flavor. It is a very popular meal (usually breakfast). *Yakisoba bun is something from the post war era. It's meant to filled you up instead of being a delicacy. Nice yakisoba can be a good treat thought. Yakisoba can be found alone without the bun. It's Japanese style fried noodle. Which is also a simple and affordable fast food to filled people up quickly. *As to onigiri, I love Lawson's Pickled Plum Onigiri . 🍙

I highly recommend giving melon pan another try maybe from a bakery or cafe instead next time! I’ve found the prepackaged ones are never as good and sometimes don’t have filling! It’s one of my favorite snacks so give it another try for me 😂

I lived in Japan as a kid for awhile. My dad was in the Air force, when we moved back to the US, I was surprised how different American 711s were. I was like let's go back to Japan. lol.

爽やかで素敵な2人ですね🌸 ようこそ日本へ☺️👍

日本を楽しんでる姿に、 私たち日本人も笑顔になります！☺️ たくさん 美味しいものを食べて、 いろんな場所で 素敵な 思い出を作ってください‼️👍

Egg salad sando and milk tea is my go to meal in Japan. Glad you guys liked the conbini food.

Convenience store curry bread, melon bread, rice balls, and 500ml of Glico cafe au lait are perfect✨ Curry bread and melon bread will be even more delicious if you ask the store clerk to heat them in the microwave for 10 seconds!

What a fun ''challenge'' haha! Definitely need to try the egg salad sandwich and other convenience store food once I have the chance to travel to Japan 😁

I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and i've binged it ALL. Tia for scale is my new favourite unit of measurement. I'm going to Seoul in 2 weeks, thanks so much for your videos!

セブンイレブンの「まるで完熟マンゴー」、ピノ、チョコモナカジャンボ、アイスの実、白くまなどのアイスも美味しいですよ🍨🍦

My favourite onigiri from the combinis are the tuna mayo and the brown label one which has chopped up kelp inside. The steam buns are usually pretty good too! Happy Travels

I actually ended up eating at 711 for dinner a lot, when I went to Japan in 2019. It was just so convenient and I was too tired from walking around.

I have spent plenty of time in Japan and have watched plenty of Japan travel content on YT but I never hesitate to click on your Japan vids. The two of you have a real welcoming, relaxing and fun vibe. Looking forward to your future vids in Japan. Hopefully you get a chance to travel outside of Tokyo.

めっちゃ楽しそう！安全に気をつけて、楽しんでください。

Hi from Okinawa! The pancakes are my go to! If you find yourselves in Family Mart again you HAVE to try it with a spicy famichiki in between the pancakes. You can find them up front on the hot plate. Lawsons has great chicken nuggets up front too. The egg salad sandwiches are a favorite of mine too. Another suggestion would be curry ramen instant noodles.

Love your vids…..super informative and down to earth…..thanks for your work 🙂

Apparently, Skytree is one of the safest structures because of it's anti-jishin (earthquake) technology. I always went to Mini Stop or Family Mart, I used to love the fruit sandwiches. I used to have a daily Melonpan with vanilla ice-cream inside (oishii). Japan is so convenient, in every aspect. Even the fact that almost all of their announcements on public transport etc. are made in multiple languages. In Australia all announcements are made in English. I don't think Western society can hold a candle to Asian hospitality and thoughtfulness.

Hello in the Sunday morning in California. Exploring and have fun in Tokyo.

コンビニだけで動画を一本撮るなんて、凄すぎ！！ 😳👍👍

That's cool! I've never spent a day with food from convenience stores, even though I'm Japanese lol.

Love the longer vlogs 👌

7/11 egg mayo sandwich and hard boiled egg are incredible!

Great video it makes me crave a lot of the foods in Konbini. I can't wait to return early next year! Keep at it! Love the content!

Interesting facts: 7-Eleven originated in Dallas Texas but has been owned and operated by 7-Eleven Japan since 2005. Japan also has the highest concentration of 7-Eleven stores of any country by far. Not surprisingly 7-Eleven is the largest convenience store company on the planet by a wide margin.

お二人の動画を見させて頂いてます。 英語は分かりませんが、楽しんで頂けている様で嬉しく思います😊 引き続き、滞在中は日本を思いっきり楽しんで下さいっ👍😊

Great savings eating at those convenient stores and they are surprisingly good. I personally have a weakness for those Milk Tea's. What surprised me was the variety of fresh items they have for sale and if they are about to expire you can get them even cheaper!

The dynamic duo and the smiles lighting up the land of the rising sun once again

About Yakisoba bun, Japanese high school students often eat it at school. it’s a lump of carbohydrates but I don’t know, sometimes I want to try it 😊

Wonderful place.. I want to make a video there 😁

By far our favorite onigiri was the 7-Eleven premium salmon. We would go to multiple konbini to find enough for all of us. We also really liked the oden in the cool mornings from Family-Mart. Lawson's has a fabulous daikon kimchi (kakdugi) that we could eat every day if possible!

Egg combini sandwiches are the best. Been back in Tokyo 1 day and already had one for breakfast with a tuna mayo onigiri. The 7-11 version seems to be the best IMO.

チョイスが日本らしくて面白い!　Enjoy it!🥳

#1 you guys are with my favorite KZfaqr's. You guys are all in my top 5!!!

I'm becoming quite a follower of your videos... As I stated before we plan on traveling to Japan to see the students that stayed with us. These little "spots" about what to expect are so precious. I agree about the pancakes....they look fantastic. Like K.F.C., 7-11's are like being home. Thank you... can't wait until you get to Kyoto....Arigatou

It helps me plan my future trip to Japan- know I’ll bring a few items and how to eat healthier. My fav was when you said the noodles in the hot dog bun was something your kid self would’ve made hahahaha …totally made my day!

東京が日本の全てではないので、もっと東京以外の日本にも行ってほしい。

As one of Japanese’s opinion, the pudding parfait at Mini-stop is absolutely the best ice cream of all convenient stores in Japan👍 If you have a chance, try it‼️

kewpie mayo in the egg salad sandwiches are the best. when I am in japan I head to the closest food mart first just to eat those and the onigiri

Sure hope you go to my absolute favorite place before you Leave. Very interesting. Enjoyed video. Fun bloopers

Amazing wrappers, takes some learning. The Kombini has a microwave to warm up your food. Did you eat all that 7eleven food cold? Next vid...eating exclusively out of vending machines!! :) The hot coffee in a can was awesome!! Every morning! Seek out Chestnut pastries...not sure if they are out yet, it's usually a winter thing. Chestnut cream is the best!

Delighted to see you guys back in Asia. Please come back to SE Asia. We love you here! Living costs are low and you can still be able to discover so much more.

You guys should checkout the Amazon Go store when you’re Seattle or San Francisco

I missed you guys💗

Mmmm… the onigiri. Great grab and go item. Always a dependable snack when we visit Thailand and Taiwan. Miss traveling abroad, thanks for posting!

Since Tia loves desserts, I would totally recommend going back to Lawson and trying their "Uchi Cafe" sweets. The sweets are usually in an open refridgerated area. If you like cream, try the roll cake is how to

Do these stores have a mini-stove to cook your ramen (not just the instant cup ramen), just like in Korea? It's been so long, I can't remember.

Yes, got to say 7eleven is my favourite too. That family mart was called famima for short.

I like how he describe the food well.

I was amused how apprehensive and skeptical you were about eating items from a Japanese Convenience store. 😉Konbinis are a great inexpensive way to eat, and while we were in Japan we ate there and the Supermarket's prepared food. It was a frugal way to eat good quality Japanese food on the cheap. Why did you avoid the hot items? The Lawson Fami-chiki rocks and the baos are good too!

Tia, you need to do Cheveyo For Scale just so he can do the running once in a while... 🤣 And the noodles in a bun would have totally been a college meal for me...

The packet pancakes has won me over now i want to go to tokyo lol Yes just for packet pancakes hahaha

日本のコンビニは、お弁当やスイーツが豊富でとても美味しいと思います。日本人にとってコンビニは無くてはならない場所だし、皆週に1回はコンビニに行くと思います。 海外の方が日本に来たら、必ず寄って食べて欲しいですね。アメリカに行って、初めてアメリカのセブンイレブンに入って日本と全く違く驚きました。コンビニは簡素で食べ物もあまり美味しく無かったです。（バカにしている訳ではないですよ） お二人の笑顔、とても素敵ですね！

I prefer 7-Eleven, then FamilyMart, then Lawson. Though really they all excel at certain foods.

What kind of lense/settings did you use to get those night shots? They look nice :)

100% 7-Eleven is the best! Tia is so right. And yes, tuna-mayonnaise is a great go to. That said, in my opinion even the worst of Japanese kombini's is better than most other countries convenience stores. Pricing in Japan isn't allowed to be that much higher with a recommended retail price so prices across the board are almost uniform. This contrasts with a country like Australia where convenience stores are enabled to price the convenience into the prices of the products leading to items that are substantially more expensive than their Woolworths/Coles/Aldi alternatives. Having spent so much time in Japan, every time I go into a "convenience" store outside Japan, I think of it as an inconvenience store. Being convenient feels really part of Japanese life.

I love Tokyo!

Kind of impressed most of the Konbini food packages in English are misspelled 😂 But if taste is good, all is good! 😊👍

Convenience Store food in Japan is REALLY good. It's nothing like the gas station food in the US (though, with companies like Wawa, it's getting better). The 7/11 sandwiches are excellent.

I now look at any traveling cples with backpacks that I pass by with diff lenses now lol 🥰😍

I'm writing a story with a character who's living in Japan largely on cheap convenient store food, and this helps because without actually going there myself, which in America is pretty much a dream in itself, it's hard to just know things simply by the look since my Japanese is weak lol.

My wife and I just arrived in Tokyo yesterday and we're also staying in Asakusa! Maybe we'll see you around? Well, not today though since we're going to Mt. Fuji. But ... y'know .. the rest of the week. Any chance for a meetup???

THAILAND : “Our 7/11 convenience store is the world’s top notch”! JAPAN : “Hold my Kirin beer”.

i commented before the egg sandwich... how good are Japanese egg salad sandwiches? I ate it for breakfast every day when I was in Japan in 2019

I agree the beer is awesome. We get it in Aus.

Hey you guys… now from Australia 🇦🇺. I’m glad you found the Tokyo Sky Tree… I’m sure you would have gone to the top as it’s an amazing experience 😊 Hopefully you will show in next video if you went to the top.. It was a fun video you guys as usual so I’m looking forward to the next one 🙏🏻 enjoy

You two need to put together some "Tia for scale" t-shirts.... :) I'm new to your channel but I'm enjoying seeing how many places you've been to that my wife and I travelled to when we were younger (such as Selçuk, Budapest, Interlaken, Avignon, and many more). We took our young kids to Japan a few years ago and had an incredible time. Keep it up!

So cool guys! The pork sandwich looked super yummy. We love all the quirky things about Japanese/Korean convenience stores…. I guess an employee free shop is kind of like a walk-in vending machine. 😂

Interesting! How about the cost of those convenience store meals ?

Family Mart at noon is awesome. I'm from the countryside, so nothing like this.

やきそばパンとかスパゲティパンとかは、中高校生男子が昼食でお腹を満たすような食べもののイメージです。私は大人になってなつかしく美味しく食べてます。

When I saw the title Japanese Convenience Store Food, I immediately thought of the best sandwich I had when I visited Japan in 2015. And around the 16:00 mark, you had the Egg Salad Sandwich! I had it by chance and was blown away. And I never knew Bourdain had one! Besides hot/cold soba and Okonomoyaki, I could survive on only Japanese 7 Elevens! Thank you for sharing!

I recommend the free observation room at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

Great video. We in the US have Amazon Go where you enter the place by scanning the palm of your hand. Pick whatever you want and just leave. No attendants and no self-checkout machines. The place knows what you took. Seconds later you get a message with your purchase amount and the receipt is available on your Amazon account. UPDATE: I also want to say that your videos are realistic, well done but not over edited. Best of all, your opinions seem very honest. Congratulations, keep it up! PS, I think all "sandos" in Japan are awesome but eggsalad and katsu are the best...oh and the strawberey one

Cheers for an informative video about food in Tokyo convenience stores guys. I remember buying a can of Asahi from the food basement of a department store, and an elder woman wrapped it when I paid for it 😄

I'm surprised to see the toilet sign in your apartment, it says 'tandas'. That's what you'd find in Malaysia!

You have to try family mart chiki. There is nothing like it. Can't wait to go back to japan again.

Wish you would have shown prices

一つ、有名な店舗を見逃しています。 それは、ミニストップです。 レジで注文するデザートが昔から日本で人気です。 特に夏シーズンは「ハロハロ(haroharo)」を食べてみてください。

Japanese food is my favorite food of the world. Next is Vietnamese.

AMPM is the bomb!

You guys got any plans to go and say hi to Gabriel traveller? I’ve not been watching a lot of KZfaq recently because I’ve been travelling for the last 2.5 months in Thailand and Malaysia. I’m really glad you guys got to Japan. I’ve been up that tower. It was super cool. Safe travels.

Try the TOUCH TO GO convenience store at Takanawa Gateway, a station on the Yamanote Line. It is a completely unmanned convenience store with no clerks.

Omfg! Where is that self check out Family Mart? Looks fascinating!

Hello Tia & Chev 😍Loving your Japan videos food not bad at 7Eleven once only lol Take Care 😍

no conflict created coz 711 is the best!!

@11:15 they knew what you had, because you took it from the shelf. (its a sensor) It's like the minifridges from the hotel rooms. (I guess) 🥴

Hi! Love y’all’s travels! I plan to visit next month but am curious did you show your vaccine card with at least 3 shots? I saw on the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare three shots of proof are required..

The Japanese supermarkets are even better, and more discounts! (go after 6-8PM and look for 50% off. They start at 10/20%->30%). Life and Bic are the cheaper supermarkets. Aeon is the nicer one - discounts don't go as high.

Hi Guys!! Great video!! I'm happy to see that you are exploring Japanese convenience store foods. Are you open to meet ups? I live in Tokyo and would love to say hello to you both. If you're busy, no biggie, and I hope you have a great in Japan.

I am a Japanese. I recommend to visit "Depa-Chika" (Department store underground floor). There are many foods shops there like Bento, sweets, fruits. In some shop, you can try to eat tasting. In Ginza, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ueno usually, there are department stores near the big stations.

It's so funny to watch videos from you guys, I don't know if you remember me but I met you in a plane from hawaii to melbourne, I just cameback from Japan and now my whole feed is japanese videos and you are on so many of them 😆

Japanese convenience store food is all delicious. Too bad they are a little expensive. By the way, you are very good at opening convenience store onigiri. What flavor of onigiri do you like?

How much did each meal cost??!!

Like #2 from Gilbert, AZ.

Nice video. 😊😊😊

I've said it before and I'll say it again, fried chicken is the comfort of the world :3

Ya must heard about the tragic news of south korea 😢
