My most memorable eating experiences come from Asian convenience stores. The ability to mix and match favorite foods is awesome!

マイキーが日本にいる時は周囲に気を使って小声で話すのが好きです🥹昔はそうじゃなかったけど、たぶん店員に怒られたんだと思うww

Wow, you got here right before the typhoon strike! Hope you survived all right.😉👍 We have good flood control system so people usually don't die by a typhoon or two, but shut down of transportation system is not nice for tourists. I wish your filming went well.

Yeah in s&r I buy the dark choco flavor which is not too sweet also that matcha flavor of it was good

[@ShellyWorboys]

Mike, living in South Africa and being bed ridden is awful. I'm lucky to have your videos to watch and dream about. We don't have any of the stunning foods you have there especially the convenience stores. You are a star. Thank you for the superb videos you do.

[@debbielevin8060]

I’m sorry to hear that you are bedridden. I’ve barely been able to get out of bed for the last 9+years. Mike’s posts are pretty much the highlight of my day. I’m able to get some of the items he tries and have my wonderful caregivers prepare them for me. Sending 💕from Oregon, USA.

[@johnweak3198]

Hope you get better soon.

[@allegramcwilliams6917]

I'm so sorry to hear that you are bedridden. I have been in the same situation for a year this coming October. Watching Mike's videos have been such a pleasure for me too. I'll be praying for you.💛💛

Homie goes to Japan just to eat at 7-11. Keep it up bro. I'm planning on going back there next year.

[@jnal21]

Mike, they've had translators on apps for a long time now, if you want to know if your cheese is gouda.

[@AzaiKyou]

Been a while since i watched mikey and gotta say i forgot how much he can eat! What a champ!

[@ikmalice9302]

The difference in the American and Japanese 7-11 food would probably have to do with the terrible fillers the FDA allows into American foods.

[@artmediaz]

Well 7-eleven america is about to undergo a makeover to become more like 7-eleven japan.

[@Peacekeeper_84]

​@@artmediazreally? That sounds great

Great news tho! US 7-11s in time are gonna be like Japan's now, and 7-11 is now owned by a Japanese company too

[@VroomTech]

Also the fact that they dont sell japanese style food in american 7-11's? lmao

[@yawa8435]

The flat noodles you had is not soba. It's udon, in a style called himokawa, which is from a certain region in Japan.

I never thought I would say this, but I really want a 7-11 egg salad sandwich now 😋

You can only taste umami my friend.... Take a break from food for a week.... Drink only water.... Then you'll start to have the other tastes back

[@rodneyferguson446]

While I like watching all of Mike's Videos, I'm just glad someone hasn't made his using the word "Umami" into a drinking game, where everytime he say's Umami you take a drink, LOL! But I guess the word "Umami" sounds more refined or cultured than just saying Savory or Meaty. The same with the word "Ginormous".

[@royvice666]

You absolutely MUST do the broccoli egg sandwich!

[@catherineturner2839]

What you describe as egg salad we would call egg mayonnaise in the UK. Egg salad here would be hard boiled eggs with lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc

Love these convenience store videos

[@alouetta12]

damn i wish we had a lot more choices like these, they look so delicious

[@noctumdraco]

Can't wait for the American 7-11s to become more like their Japanese counterparts. Sure, it won't be the same quality wise, but to have a taste of what is available in Japan would be amazing.

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

For the teriyaki chicken and egg sandwiches, you'll want to get the ones from 7/11. I became obsessed with them over the last year or so, and ended up trying the different versions at various conbinis here. 7/11 wins, hands down! 🤤

[@Its-Kat_]

The buns are called man, so normal pork is nikuman, shrimp is ebiman and a ready one pizzaman.

I’ve seen fried chicken served with Tatar sauce before and I thought how weird, but then I made some karate and put some tatar sauce on it. I’m hooked, it’s sooooo good.

[@vivida7160]

That's not what it is. The fried chicken is dunked in a sauce of soysauce, vinegar and sugar. The chicken is battered, not just dusted with starch like karaage, so that the batter can be thick enough to absorb the sauce

[@bigteez808]

12:53 Oahu Hawaii 7-11's food options is bomb. Japan takes it another level but you should try coming back here and do a 7-11 Honolulu review. I know you would love it.

so basically you can't cook for yourself and have a really plain diet

[@prettyboivegan]

​@iamnotmental it's actually cheaper in japan and South Korea to go to a convenient store or get delivery then it is to buy groceries.

[@iamnotmental]

@@prettyboivegan yeah but it's about quality too. making something tasty with a few ingredients from the market instead of processed packaged foods with 1000 scientific ingredients made in a laboratory that you don't even know what they are

*urge to return to Japan intensifies* I WIIIIIIIIISH I could go back to Japan someday! Combini stores are a whole 'nother world in Japan because good quality food for dirt cheap is a combi we've not mastered just yet most of the time in the US.
