My adult daughter & I went to Japan for 9 days & we only ate from the convenience stores. I watched a lot of KZbin videos before I went. I had a long list of food to try. OMG, the food was so so so fantastic. Reasonable prices. Egg sandwiches to die for. Gold Margherita frozen pizza was awesome. We are the onigiris everyday. Ice cream & parfait for breakfast. Chicken giblets, octopus pieces, tongue, cured meats, steamed buns at the counter. Almost everything was so tasty & good.We are going back just for the food at convenience stores. Sooooooo good 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
