24 Hours Eating ONLY at Japanese Convenience Store LAWSON FOOD REVIEW

[@johanvanbeek7138]

Convenience store episodes are Mike's best work, the sheer variety and quality is so mind bending to us in the west.

[@matthewenfinger766]

Honestly these are my favorite ones that he does. It always amazes me that convenient store food can be that good. Makes me wanna travel all throughout Asia just to hit up convenient stores and vending machines 😅

[@FlavorofMind]

These episodes definitely have opened up my eyes to many possibilities! Gotta try stopping into a Lawsons at some point.

[@gabudaichamuda2545]

The best thing we usually get in the US are Indomie noodles. I call them crack noodles because they're so addictive

[@mikeaaronc77]

SAME! I love these episodes and I am always so jealous watching him use chopsticks. I cannot do it.

[@MajorJiggle89]

Just wanna say thank you Mikey. Found you last year when I was really sick & had zero appetite, and watching you encouraged me to eat something - ANYthing to get my strength back. Over a year later, I still watch you every dinner time & now try all kinds of amazing Asian foods 🖤🖤

[@cubidog1]

I don't know why but I love these convenience store videos so much! That and your airline food reviews are always my favorites. For some reason regular restaurant videos are just not as exciting to me.

[@akeverday7]

Every time Mike gets one of those sandwiches from 7 Eleven or Lawsons I get jealous. They always look good and I wish I could get them in the US.

[@xomegaxz5799]

As someone who watched mikey for years and recently been to Japan, the sandwiches are just okay. Nothing really spectacular.

[@karloarsch1579]

To make Tamago Sando at home, you only need eggs, kewpie mayo, salt, pepper and little sugar (and some nice toast bread).

[@chilko8244]

not sure about other states but here in WA I’ve found them at a few different asian/japanese groceries

[@FlavorofMind]

Yeah, the sandwiches always grab my attention! There are some super interesting options available over there

[@chadvro6148]

when i went to japan with my family for the first time, we had some of their spicy fried chicken that they keep hot, and the next morning they made me wait an hour outside of lawson so we could get the first batch in the morning, definitely could survive eating stuff only from lawson for the rest of my life if i needed to

[@kevinwood9988]

As a native Ohioan I grew up on Lawson products. The company was first founded in Northeast Ohio. I was saddened to see them close down In the early 2000s. You can still buy their chip dip in some Circle K gas stations around Ohio and some other states nearby. Thanks for this video! I hope to visit Japan some day and see another Lawson's in person to try their food!

[@rrk2801]

NW Ohio here. We had Sterlings/Lawson here. I miss them. Had the freshest milk, and OMG the French onion dip!

[@RabbitsInBlack]

LOL Apparently Circle K is now trying to compete with Wisconsin's Kwik Trip. They just built one down the street and annoy the hell out of me with their flyers. So now I have so many places to get a quick pre-made food around me from Grocery Stores to Supermarket Gas Station, like Japan but without the Culture Issues that people don't understand about Japan. That's how a good town does it. But I live in the Entertainment Area of the Town so if you can get everything, the only question is WHAT IS YOU BUDGET TODAY?

[@deniseross2590]

When I visit Columbus I'm always stunned at the massive grocery stores people are spoiled with. My cousin studied abroad in Japan, and worked at the fish counter at the local Kroger. Because of the local Honda plant, he had Japanese housewives lined up and his hours posted in Japanese because he was the only fishmonger who spoke Japanese and wrote out the fish names in Japanese, and this was before the internet.

[@jimoran5265]

4am convenience store food run is a tradition I greatly appreciate. After a while the late night clerks just accept you as a regular lol

[@kimonokat1928]

Traveling the world, eating delicious food, and seeing amazing sights. Next time you go to Japan, please take me with you!

[@HeatherSC02]

Oh man I love Japanese food I live curiously through your videos Mike. I can imagine I’d love trying all the foods in Japan.

[@e.t1031]

This videos brings me joy despite not being able to taste any of these wonderful dishes

[@dogcog7165]

Every Ramadan I come back to you and your channels, and these convenience stores are always my favorite.

[@markbrown2640]

Like 7-11, Lawson started as an American company. The company started near Cleveland Ohio. They started a Japanese Division in the 1970's. When their U.S. division started having money problems in the eighties they sold off the Japanese division. Obviously the Japanese chain is still a going concern while the American parent company no longer exists.

[@marykipp8388]

I’ve never wanted an egg salad sandwich more in my life. 🤤

[@Kiwi-Mel]

My mum lived on those when we took her to Japan. They are jolly goooood

[@here-i-am2316]

Family mart has them too

[@amandaarthur88]

I'm half Okinawan and growing up in Okinawa I miss Lawson and family mart so much. Everyday after school,I used to go to either Lawson or family just to get my daily convenient store munchies. Hopefully soon I can go back and never leave. Oh how I miss home. I love watching your videos

[@indonesianchinese5724]

I miss Japan so much. Last time I went I didn’t get a chance to try convenience store food, next time I will most definitely try. Thanks for sharing!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I can see it now, the guy at the counter at the other Lawson's seeing you walking in with bags from Lawson 100 and thinking "OOOOOK...?!" You're making me want to go back to Japan all the more now, man, because Japanese combini stores are a beautiful thing. I loved them all when I was there!

[@jamie.lee717]

Love watching the Lawsons videos. I grew up in the city it was founded in before being everything being sold to Japan. All we have left is a chip dip recipe. Love that it’s thriving over there. Can’t wait to visit one day.

[@martinwalton9307]

Lawson 100 was a life saver whilst living in Tokyo, tons of amazingly good priced food.

[@phileo_ss]

Very entertaining as usual. I might try some of the items some time as there are three Lawson stores near where I live. 19:42 That is _anmitsu_ a traditional Japanese dessert. And, no, I do not recommend using all the syrup as everything else is already sweet. The "jello" is agar jelly. That is why it could withstand all the mixing with the fork and why it has a different texture to gelatin based jelly. Also good with ice cream.

[@tyrishaw3652]

Going to Japan soon and I really want to stop by the 7Eleven and Lawson's for the first time in my life lol

[@JohnSmith-lc1ml]

I went to Japan and I visited 10 combini in one day. I am now a Lawson loyalist

[@momothebug]

Of everything in this video, whilst it all looked amazing, I'd simply die for a soft, squishy egg sandwich with crunchy, spicy chips. texture and flavour heaven, I'm sure.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

when I was in college I pretty much did all of my shopping and eating at Lawson 100 (a 100 yen Lawson) each week. they had common vegetables, various raw meats, eggs etc. so i could do real cooking and not just buy prepackaged food.

[@derfedrevog2983]

Hearing Mikey mention Bourdain makes me wish he could’ve taken Anthony on a convenience store tour. I’d watch the heck outta that!

[@dannywinget]

I can’t wait to try this stuff at Lawson!

[@stephanieli2669]

I can’t believe that Mike didn’t eat the fried chicken from Lawson. It was so incredible, especially the spicy ones, that I bought a few pieces and ate it on the way to airport because it was my last chance to eat such delicious fried chicken.

@Hunter @Hunter Hey, so can u tell me why ur obsessed with posting negative comments on this page? I counted at least 5 replies and all give off jealous, troll vibes. One stated that you claim to be savage but in reality ur comments are kinda bland and just sound like a desperate plea to get attention. I don't know who hurt you but I hope it gets better for you soon.

[@zeebug]

Lawson has the best desserts. Family Mart has the best hot foods by the counter, and 7 eleven has the best bentos (food)

[@DinDeen]

I think that jelly dessert that you didn't like is anmitsu. It has agar jelly, not jell-o/gelatin, so the texture will be different.
