Mike's convenient store videos are the most satisfying. He really knows what's good

[@knownonsense2015]

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

[@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.💛💛

Sorry to hear that you live in South Africa

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.

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

Sushi Zanmai has fantastic quality for a sushi chain. Their food is often better than most sushi restaurants in the US.

[@dustinplatt6882]

As someone who had to look up celsius to Fahrenheit.. 24°C is only 75°F and 32°C is 89°F. That doesn't seem hot at all. 75°F sounds like a cool spring day. Stormy, yes, but steamy? When I go down to Florida in the summer, it's around 36°C and that's pretty normal for down there. Also, I'm just gonna use celsius from now on. I have no idea how to convert it without internet but I can't wait for this 75°C day tomorrow. Seems like a day for long sleeves.

[@katieebu2259]

24° with 98% humidity where I am in Australia right now at midnight its so sticky it's uncomfortable

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

One of the things I miss the most about living in Japan is the 7eleven.

[@Jacecam32]

This is what I love about you Mike. It's not "Each dish has to be its own thing" nah you're like me "Hey, I like potato salad, I like curry, I like rice... why not combine them?" *munch munch munch* "oooh fuck yes"

[@chrisp7641]

There's a huge difference in sandwich makings. Japan, they fill the entire slice of bread, to make a proper sandwich. The US fills it just enough, that makes a crustables look like a banquet.

[@Enoriss206]

25:25 was definitely expecting a : "and this.. is eggceptional"

[@zBarthlome]

Love these convenience store videos

[@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

[@Albusdumbledoree]

hes in japan. not in the UK

I really wanna try it now. Might report back if I do.

[@ihearttails]

Sounds delicious 😋

[@bigamg515]

Their sandwiches looks like they use wonder bread and cuts the edges off like my mother use to do for me as a kid👌🏽.

[@meggiemcguire8114]

Thank you so much for these videos! You're awesome! It's funny, I don't generally like fish, but I'm kind of obsessed with sushi. The spicy crab roll (not real sushi, IMO,) and the rainbow roll have been my favorites. A lot of the sushi places around here are totally ok with selling you rancid tasting salmon and tuna, so I don't really get much sushi these days.

[@wendighoul]

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

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

[@lutandorgavero]

the man is a food blogger and doesn't know the difference between udon and soba. Can't say I'm surprised as he travels all over the world and eats the same food over and over again.

[@Fif5t0014]

I always get my curry on the side at Hawaiian BBQ spots so I can pour it on my mac salad. So, I just KNOW that potato salad w/ curry was fire.

[@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! 🤤

[@that_puffsley_guy]

I know I'm late but welcome to Alberta!

[@jeffccan4464]

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

[@FrancesHowell-u1z]

Keep up the lovely videos they alwsys make me happy and thank you for all the foods from their stores hope to visit there someday so thank you gor showing me where to est great for pennies

[@sonny8988]

Its only dirty cheap for rich foreigners

[@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.

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!
