[@wanderingjadah]

When you had cup o noodles for dinner I was like oh no she’s gonna be hungry again in a half hour! Lol. I’d like to try the lemon sour drink and I love that they sell ice cups.

[@GarthGoldberg]

Twenty-four hours of conbini food in Tokyo: that's easy. Egg salad sandwiches from Lawson for breakfast. Coffee. Onigiri and green salad for lunch-FamilyMart. Apple juice. Dried squid for afternoon snack. Curry bowl for dinner-7-11. Or kaarage from FamilyMart. Dinner washed down with Suntory "Strong".

[@Croco-booy]

24 hours of any food is easy af lol maybe its cuz i only eat once a day :p

[@cechng1451]

Yes, please do a healthy conbini meal challenge. I might need it when I visit :)

[@cheyennemoore8380]

Came to say this too

[@shiftyy2786]

Yes please!

[@pedroguilhermepommergrassi2515]

Love how the video about 24h konbini food has 24min lol

[@fraugrave5583]

I didn't notice that. Cool!

[@wherearewe-yt]

I feel like every time we watch your videos, they get noticeably better and better. To make a 25 minute video feel like 5 minutes is such a talent! Seriously. We love kombini videos and can't wait to make them in the future ourselves..though it'll be pretty hard to top yours. So good! 😄

[@seerasan]

Aww, thank you so much for always watching & supporting! 😊

[@rebeccakrupke8334]

Please do a healthy combini challenge too! I’d love to see what I should be eating and grabbing. Also family mart was my favorite! I’ll have to give Lawsons another try next time

[@toffy6508]

世界のコンビニに行きましたが、日本のコンビニは何でもあるし、美味しいしで最強だと思います。アメリカ旅行に行った時、セブンイレブンを見つけて、日本と同じ様な感覚で入ったら、欲しい物が無く驚きとショックでした😅 日本のコンビニを発信してくれてありがとうございます😊

[@michaelfotoshop]

Japanese Convenience stores are the best … like THE BEST

[@michaelfotoshop]

also heading to Tokyo in September :) so so excited.

[@sherwinie]

I grew up drinking Yakult as a kid. I don't drink it anymore but it's nice to see I can still get them at local grocery stores in California.

[@tdolan500]

One of my mistakes visiting Japan for the first time was getting too hyped about Combi’s. Yeah they are fantastic and everywhere but it’s almost too easy to settle for a combini meal instead of going out and sitting down somewhere. Really are missing out if you’re sitting in your hotel room with a bowl of microwaved noodles and a sando!

[@seerasan]

Well said & good point!!!

[@janusu]

This konbini episode was awesome! Thanks for doing this, Sarah-san! Convenience stores in Japan are a totally viable option for tourists on the go. Prices are reasonable and the food is decent quality. I think even the 'junk food' options you chose today are still healthier than what's available at American convenience stores! And I love that so many of them even have a nice little dining area in-store. I'll join the chorus in saying yes, please do the 'Sarah's healthy version' episode. You've hit the top 3, how about some of the other chains within, say, the top 10? Mini Stop, Daily Yamazaki, etc.? I know in the Kansai area, a lot of the local train lines had their own convenience chains that you could find at the stations or on the platform. I think Hankyu's was Asnas (As Soon As), if I'm not mistaken. I'm going off memory from over a decade ago, so I could be a little out of touch. But I wonder, if that's still the case, maybe you could cover some of the local konbini chains around the Tokyo area. I'm planning to visit Osaka for a few weeks later this summer with my wife. It'll be my first time back in Japan since 2008!! I'm looking forward to trying out some of the things you've covered (also TC, Lyssa, Charla, that guy Chris Abroad, etc.). I hope to catch at least one hanabi matsuri while I'm there. I'm looking forward to the eventual boyfriend reveal. He's a lucky man!! I'm sure he knows it 🙂

[@SunnyNeuroshima]

Recent subscriber from UK here. Love your channel and your food videos. I find them so useful and entertaining. I am visiting Japan for the first time in a few months and I cannot wait. Thanks for the great content.

This video had strong summer time vibes in it 🙂

Watching your video makes me feel like I'm somewhere else. Traveling without moving. Amazing!

The videos also make me feel like traveling to... the kitchen pantry and fridge 🤣

That udon just looks like a perfect snack size!

[@seerasan]

It is!! 🍜❤️

[@taniasalu2405]

When I knew you bought the plums, I eagerly awaited the 'cat bum' reaction face. You did not disappoint. On a side note, we saved a lot of money in Tokyo by eating onigiri from 7-11. We can't get good ones here in Australia, and I'd love to see them on our shelves.

[@octeight7977]

Rocking the look! Also, I feel your aussie accent has got stronger since you have been back home there recently ✌️

[@winterbells1]

would love to see a day of eating and natural lawson honestly lol

[@ruthlessx]

Sara's brows looking wild, love it

😙💫

[@mistersmith158]

yes a healthy edition of this would be interesting seerasan

[@jnb756]

love the fact you don't like seafood (I don't either) so I get to see food (no pun intended) in Japan I would actually want to try... thank you for such fun and interesting videos Seera 😀

Prediction- Seerasan is going to hit a million by this time next year 😊❤

[@MxPotato84]

Definitely do a full day of healthy conbini eating!!

[@AudiaciousLife]

The grocery stores in Kitakyushu do percents off at night, if you go real late theyre 70%+ off but very little variety.

[@JustMeeee2]

Yes would love a healthier food video too! Loved this video too though! Thank you bunches🩷

[@02kw]

冷やしたぬきうどんの発音が完璧すぎてびっくりしました🤣

[@lizardears4861]

I could easily survive on convenience store food in Japan. It’s the best quality. I love their sandwiches, onigiri and karage chicken.

[@El2ocm]

Yes, please do a health combini day!

[@FLG8r]

Japanese convenience stores are on a different level; it's only recently that I've noticed that American convenience stores are going upscale ... Wawa, Bucc-ees

[@寺沢T]

Full open top type can will spray out when opened at room temperature. It is best to chill it well before drinking😅 IYOSHI Cola has a different flavoring for the canned version sold in IYOSHI's flagshipsto store. I recommend buying it at the store when you go to Shibuya. At the flagship store in Shibuya, they also sell cola syrups, making it perfect for souvenirs.

[@jacquelineout3406]

YES! for healthy combini food episode.

[@stefaniehase2448]

Yes, please show us the healthy version so that I don‘t have to feel as bad when giving my kids konbini food this winter. 😅

[@AudiaciousLife]

that Iyoshi Cola was on sale here in boston, I had one. Its not bad its kinda like a ginger molasses soda, reminiscent of ginger snaps.

[@nagasako7]

Side Note. Now Seera needs to meet up with Australian PM and Japanese Emperor family now hehe. To show up Chris Broad.

[@tdolan500]

To show up Chris she would still need to meet the King and the Emperor. The King is the head of state for the commonwealth too.

[@nyan-cp5du]

She also needs to meet KKP since Chris met Hyde

[@angemaidment5640]

She should totally meet Australia’s PM. He loves travelling overseas.

[@Cbpup12]

Gonna be honest sea food is definitely the best cup noodle flavour in my opinion

[@Dani.P.F.]

I'm from Germany and grew up with Yakult. I walk by it fairly often and am tempted every time. Might splurge and actually buy it for myself. Does it taste like it used to?

[@koenmanusama]

I loved that book! Been reading every book in the series so far!

[@cheyennemoore8380]

Awesome! I just put it on hold so I'll try it!

[@AUCKata]

We need an update on that craft Coke Sarah 😃

[@rez4437]

Always relaxing and fun videos, thank you Sara.

[@letiziacastiglione2492]

Yes please to a healthy combini day!

[@mme69]

A healthy version would so nice ❤ Would also love to see some glutenfree options

[@MissiBoo]

Thank you for this video Sarah. I would love to see a healthy haul 😊🫶

[@Commonsenseisnotcommon8]

5:00 this is me every time. I’m checking out at the grocery store, I feel like half of my car is just full of drinks. Lol and I love those little yogurt drinks too. We have them here in Florida.

[@beed2074]

I didn’t go to Japanese konbini for a while even I went back to Japan 🤔 今度コンビニ寄ってみようかと！いつも素敵な動画ありがとうございます🙏🏻

[@JDigital123]

I know it wasn't the focus of this video but I like how in Japan you can buy Nintendo videogames like Luigi's Mansion 2 at a convenience store.

[@Habu71]

I would live on the little Coolish vanilla ice cream pouches and egg salad sandwiches alone. Those are my favorites. LOL You also look gorgeous in this vid seerasan

[@MissionInJapanism]

You're slurping the noodles properly! Wonderful!！😊👍️ In Japan, it's correct to slurp your noodles with sound！

[@ifr-ed]

Schön die 5Minuten-Terrine am Schluß :)

[@popkern]

I find it hilarious that 7-11 is considered a good store in Japan when the 7-11s we have in the U.S are sketchy, have a horrible selection, sell expired food, and the "ready to eat" food is very likely to give you the bubbleguts.

[@KaisTheLimit]

No it’s not 🤣🤣🤣

[@atlashardage6]

Love the sour food challenge, and the soda explosion! Expect the unexpected

[@helenvictoria8880]

Hi Seera, would love to see a healthy conbini challenge! Pleaseee 😊

[@dianaa8125]

Healthy combini is a great idea!!!

[@flavorhostage]

The "classic" combini is Lawson. I remember living in Japan when that was the only one you could reliably find and it was kind of crap. I like how it has competition now and so they're all al lot better.

[@onitravel]

Japanese convenience store food is the best!

[@scottibass]

Wow, before the coffee gets cold. I got the same in French when I got back from home!

[@lizzie7929]

I need to be on the look out for corn tea! 👀

[@ohboy6672]

Only 24 hours! I just got back from Osaka, I nearly did that for 24 DAYS lol. I'm now a man that carries a FamiMart logo color imabari sweat towel for my forehead!

[@J247-y2n]

I recommend Halo Halo, a convenience store called MINISTOP. It's perfect for summer🍧

[@dianaa8125]

If you think corn tea is life changing you need to try buckwheat tea. I STG it is soooo good! Highly recommend

[@BobeInJapan]

I just finished that book. 💕Lovely video , all the yum food 😍

Your videos are always so entertaining and informative!! This video was a lot of fun!! You are a natural for the camera!!

[@seerasan]

Thank you! 😊🫶

[@mg123ization]

Nice video! I learned a few things about snacks! I also would like to see a healthy version with maybe vegetarian options. If possible please. 😊 last time i was in japan all i ate was egg sandwhiches and egg onigiri because i had no idea what was what.

[@chrisflynn4635]

Love your vids 🙂. My mother born/raised in Okinawa. I was born/raised in California. Your vids help me rediscover my love for japanese food. I work at a japanese market! Thank you 😊.

[@meadowbird]

I am literally reading that book currently! I actually read Before We Say Goodbye first (which I think may be the 3rd or 4th in the series) and it was honestly better in my opinion.. faster paced with a lot more cups of coffee IYKWIM. I also recommend the book What You’re Looking For is in the Library for another great Japanese read! 💛 Ps love the kawaii buns! 😍 EDIT yes please, a healthy version of this challenge would be so good!

[@asabop91]

YAS pls do a "healthy" version!! I also try to eat with a healthy balance in mind and am going to be throughout Japan for 5 weeks, doing a vid like that would help me and others plan or what to expect if trying to be health conscious while on a budget.

[@Kristen-kp6dh]

New subscriber and really enjoy your videos. I'm vegetarian and have always wondered if they have a good selection of vegetarian options.

[@jimmy75256]

You should do a 2000 yen challenge with your boyfriend (if he wants to appear on camera). Get a main. dessert (cold/frozen), drink & snack

[@nomadicmonkey3186]

Gosh Yakult was like one of the quintessentially Japanese bev that I have always assumed no foreign resident without 5+ years spent here would even be aware of! Widely available in Australia? My life has been a lie

[@jaysax7381]

It’s available in America too haha. At pretty much every grocery store

[@TheCreepypro]

I am a 7-11 man but I must admit I am rather impressed with what was available in the natural lawsons, it is a very good selection! and yes you should do a healthy combini run!

[@Boston-q1q]

Wait…do all Family Marts have an upstairs seating area?

[@extra875421]

Seera, are you using the new camera? How is it? Love the shot when camera man is in front of you while you move forward.

Yesss this is the new camera! 📸 yeah, that shot was great right?! I actually filmed another video just reviewing the DJI camera & am currently editing it now!! Will be out soon 💫

[@mjollygarza]

I read before the coffee gets cold a few months ago while in Japan. I hope you enjoy it despite how sad some of the stories are

I just finished reading it yesterday 🥺 was a really touching book! At the airport I saw there’s a part 2? So might need to pick that up! Also very keen to hit up a kissaten after reading it now too ☕️

[@annunakian8054]

They've been trying to replicate the Japanese convenience store experience in the US, but everything is expensive & the quality is low. We only shop there for convenience - at a markup.

[@seerasan]

Oh interesting to hear they’re trying that! It certainly wouldn’t work in Australia either.. I know Korea & Taiwan also have a similar convenience store experience to Japan, but no where in the West (yet) 😮‍💨

[@kitespongan]

@@seerasanYeah we used to have Famima which was a stylish fancy offspring from your Family Mart in the early 2000s. They were everywhere here in California, and I miss them dearly. 😢😢😢

[@misericorde3870]

​@seerasan I can't ever seeing it happen here in the west. The markup for a convenience store is too high compared to a regular grocery store to make it work, not to mention eating food at a lot of the 7-11s and etc. here is just tempting food poisoning.

[@asean1015]

7-ELEVEN was acquired by Japan and is currently headquartered in Japan, but in fact, other Asian and Oceanian countries such as Australia, Korea, and Taiwan are managed under permanent licenses from 7-ELEVEN in the US. So it is closer to the US than Japan. (Only China's 7-ELEVEN has Japan involved in management because there are many Japanese convenience stores such as Lawson and FamilyMart in China, and they cannot compete using the US method. Therefore, 7-ELEVEN in China has a very wide selection of products.) This year, Japan is increasing its investment in 7-ELEVEN in Australia and will be involved in management. So there is a possibility that 7-ELEVEN in Australia will change dramatically.
