We get what we expect and are willing to buy. Japan is homogenous, ultra clean, makers vs takers, low/no patience for welfare and more, they expect, then pay for this level of food. We say we want healthy then no one eats healthy so manufacturers aren't going to take a loss on making something that no one buys. We eat bigger portions and we would shop lift the heck out of a store like this. Hence, we get what we deserve.

America already has the best 711, people just see foreign 711 with foreign letters, or alternative items, doesn’t mean those foreign items are any better. In America, I can go to a 711, order 5 buffalo wings for 5 dollars, if I want them fresh, I can ask the clerk to throw some in the oven. Order a large pizza 🍕 for 5 or 7 dollars, you have a whole meal. I rather have good old American food than foreign noodles. If people want quality food, just go to sprouts or Sam’s club 😂 people acting like 711 a grocery store, it’s a quick in and go gas station.

7:40 Apparently it was a thing in the 1950s, but popularized by a show. When I saw it, I actually immediately thought of French Polynesia, where this "yakisoba"/oily fried noodles would be stuffed in a Baguette 🥖. It's a mash-up of their dominant (founding) cultures: Tahitian/French/Chinese. I somewhat assumed it was bc of Japan's heavy French influence, but I guess not 😅

I'm not sure why there is the difference between the convenience stores in the US and Japan/South Korea. Perhaps it's a cultural thing? Certainly it helps that you have so many people living tightly together in Tokyo and they have the smaller living spaces so it may make more sense to buy the food pre made than to cook at home.

Fun fact: Japanese 7-11 is the OG Asian-style 7-11. Taiwanese or Korean 7-11 is also a result of Japanization of American 7-11. Following the success of Japanese 7-11, exported the style to other Asian nations. Now these 7-11 and also American 7-11 are technically under Japanese 7-11 (though some are just licensed)
