7-11 Japan & Lawson KONBINI Taste Test -- Japanese Convenience Store FOOD

I'm back in Japan and almost always my first stop is at the konbini, Japan's take on the convenience store. You can find everything from quick snacks to fully cooked meals. And because konbinis can be found on almost every street corner, they're a reassuring reminder that as long as you have a few yen, you'll never go hungry. 👍🏼

Crista Oh that’s wonderful. I know that other blogger guy “only in Japan”. He took Mikey Chen to a sushi restaurant. And yeah it was like $32 but you could tell it was the real deal and looks scrumptious. I don’t even like sushi. I’ve never even eaten raw fish. But half the things on that plate I definitely would try. Then I’m sure whom ever I would be with could enjoy the other half of mine😂

[@Letsbehappytonight]

You wouldn't even have to. Food is really affordable especially if you go to little traditional restaurant.

[@chefevilee9566]

Well here is the question that I have. Are food prices in general reasonable in Japan? Because I’ve seen some crazy fruit videos LOL. But that being said are vegetables and staple foods all pretty cheap? And is that because a lot of the food is grown right in the country of Japan it’s self? Because I have noticed that a lot of farming/gardening happens in Japan is that true?

It surprises me that they aren't more environmentally aware, especially since they live on such a small island. Many manufacturers in the west are moving to bio-plastics or other plant based materials. I wonder if Japan is doing the same thing but maybe at a slower pace.

Just because Japan is crazy about recycling. But I agree they should use less plastic. It is not good for the environment and for people healthy.

Lawsons Dairy stores started in Ohio in the US and became some of the first "corner convenience stores". People in much of the northeast grew up on Lawsons milk, fresh orange juice, chopped ham and and the most popular item, Lawsons French Onion chip dip. In the US, they eventually became Dairy Mart and then Circle K. The only reminder of Lawsons in the US is, of course, Lawsons French Onion dip, still available at Circke K, LOL.

OMG, pls pls do a collab video with Mikey! I love him so much, you guys would make an awesome video! 😭

[@chiisaikokoro]

Love your videos, specially the way you describe every bite. You’ve got such a flair with flavor vocabulary it’s just so special. I can taste everything through you (that sounds wrong somehow) thanks for the content, keep it up you little morsel of joy.

I love aloe. The texture is just really appealing to me. I love the thought of it in yogurt. It's supposed to be good for digestion.

I literally laughed when the go pro tilting off and at 5:16 it's written "sometimes life is heavy" 😆😆😆😆😆 I also wonder, did you bring your own plate to konbini, Emmy? or you just buy it there? anyway, Baby Kewpie Mayo 👶🥚🥢

Its probably from her hotel room. Many rooms can have a mini or full kitchen to cook.

I’ve never seen a plate like that at a combini.

I love cooked cabbage. Every time I smell it I'm like, "Mmm... stinks so good!" Farts? Not so much, lol. Fun fact: did you know that cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and collard greens (and several others) are all the same species? They're all selectively bred cultivars of the same plant.

[@TheWitchvortex]

If you like cabbage, try to mix it with some shredded carrots! Slice the cabbage to thin slices, shred the carrots, put some salt and pepper on top, and steam it until it gets soft. God, it's sooo good :D !

[@Charoula1608]

@@TheWitchvortex In my country (Greece) we do that... but raw. We call it cabbage salad. Just shredded carrot, cabbage and some dressing (olive oil, vinegar OR lemon juice)

[@Letsbehappytonight]

Witchvortex I don't know if you eat meat but if you do, crip up some bacon and add that to your recipe when it's almost done steaming and it's so good. I don't even like the taste of bacon but with cabagge I love it.

[@EmA-oo9xk]

The related to eachother thing, it's something that's quite obvious over here since they all end with "kål" which basically means cabbage. Vitkål (the "normal" green cabbage), brysselkål (brussel sprouts), blomkål (cauliflower), grönkål (kale) and so on, it's funny how just knowing another language can bring knowledge about random stuff that isn't actually language related 😄

I feel like this channel's success is largely about Emmy's looks ie: her hair her glasses the face the mouth.

[@asha4644]

Emmy, you’re so awesome at describing and explaining. Have fun in Japan!

You can ignore the water on her shirt or just watch it dry 👏👏👏

In Hawaii the pork buns are called “Monapua”. They are to die for.

Anyone else obsessed with the cute tripod character? It needs its own name and movie.
