コンビニの商品は美味しいけど、持ち帰り弁当の美味しさは別格なんですよ！ 『ほっともっと』『ほっかほっか亭』『かまどや』のから揚げ弁当を食べてみることをおすすめしますよ！

[@HeresGoodTravel]

はい、そうです、そうです！どういうわけか、これらの場所を保存していませんでした！マップとリストに追加しました。素晴らしく、完全に私たちのスタイルです！本当にありがとうございます！

[@kazuyaasano7010]

ソースは揚げ物にかけるのが一般的で、ご飯にはあまりかけないですね日本人は。けど、食べ方は自由ですから食べたい方法で食べるのが一番楽しいですね！

[@masak4426]

そうやって自由にさせるからご飯とおかすの関係を理解しようとしないのでは？　ハンバーガーを食べた事無いヤツがアメリカに行ってバンズとパティを分けてバラバラに食ってたら彼等は絶対皮肉ると思うけどな まぁ‥あと800年ぐらいすれば彼等も理解するようになるかもね。

[@HeresGoodTravel]

本当にありがとう、私たちは苦労して学びました！😂。そのソースはとても美味しかったので、何にでも使います。本当にありがとう！

The spaghetti underneath the fried chicken is there to absorb the oil from the fried chicken.

[@aliciah8041]

Love your videos! You guys are so much fun! The Japan series continues to be awesome!

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thanks a million! Sorry it took a while to get back to you, we were partying in Vegas🤣. We will see ya soon with another Japan video!

[@mee416]

Love this video, too🥰 It was so fun and unique. You are always polite and respectful for Japanese culture. As a Japanese I do appreciate for that. I really happy to see you guys enjoying Japanese food and culture. I’m waiting for your next Osaka tour Video😊 I love some sweets and bread in Lawson😋 From big fun of your channel from Japan❤

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thanks for the awesome comment! We had so many sweets there but needed to add more of them in this video! Thank you for the support! We had a quick trip to Las Vegas and are back on our work. New video should be out soon!

[@MaggieBygate]

Watching from New Zealand. Love your videos. Literally the best food travel videos on KZbin ❤

[@MiaH56]

Agreed 100%

[@HeresGoodTravel]

NEW ZEALAND!! So cool! It’s our dream to visit there. Thanks so much for the kind comment, sorry for the delay we were partying in Las Vegas. Now back to editing Japan videos!

[@osampoandnews]

As a single person, I always envy you two for being so close! There are so many convenience stores in Tokyo that I don't decide where to buy, so it is very interesting to see you two give your winners and losers for various products. I will use this as a reference for my shopping.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you! We love each other and we love Japan, we also really like food😂. Thanks for watching our Japan series, it was so much fun to make!

[@MiaH56]

Hi guys. Love your reviews for Japan and Japanese food! What a happy couple❤ You said it’s your first time in Japan but I wonder why you know so much about Japanese culture and etiquettes. I am grateful that you respect us and trying to educate the world through your videos. Looking forward to more videos to come out soon! Keep smiling 😊😊😊

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thanks so much! It’s hard not to smile while eating the delicious treats of Japan. Thanks a million for this awesome comment! We are going to feature it on our Instagram Heres_Good as our comment of the day! Thank you so much!

[@TakahashiTakami]

I'm enjoying your adventures in Japan and its interesting to see what foreigners think of the convenience stores here in Japan. Hello from Osaka, Japan! My favorite convenience store is probably Lawson.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

We liked them all! In Osaka we went to Daily Yamazaki, but it was t our favorite. Had a really cool sign though, very 80’s. Thanks for watching, we are busy at home with work but we are working hard to get our Osaka footage edited for KZbin! See you soon and thank you for your patience!

[@miami5am]

Japan needs to hire you guys as food critics! Convini can lean from you a lot! The video was so educational and I just leaned something I never knew. I didn't know that the rice quality between Lawson and Family Mart was that different, and the size of spicy chicken! Wow, this video is very good! Some tourists put that spicy chicken fille between 'world-famous-egg-sandwich' and they kind a created their own sandwich. And they said it was delicious and it was like a make love to the sandwich! I must try that, hahahaha!!!! I just subscribed your channel which I thought I did long time ago. Can't wait to see the next video at Osaka!

[@DisingenuousComment]

I don't think you really get all the procedures these konbini's go through to release a new product. They already have tons of food critics; but I know you're not being too serious

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thank you so so much! We wish we thought to put the chicken on an egg sandwich! What a great idea! We wanted to visit the family mart that has a bar in it but we ran out of time. Thanks for the support it means a lot to us! We will see you next time!🇯🇵❤️

Watching from Connecticut. Arriving in September.

This so impressive. I wish we had this type of good food selection at convenience stores here.

Totally! We ate so many times at these places, at end of the day we would always grab something new to try!

Japanese bento boxes often include spaghetti under fried food. This is because the oil drips down and protects the container from heat.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Man they really do think of everything! So should you eat it or is it just for that purpose!

[@marniethompson2527]

I thought he got it this time but then i saw the seaweed sheet got separated from the rice roll 😂😂 4:29

[@HeresGoodTravel]

本当にありがとうございます。皆さんのサポートは私たちにとって何よりも大切です。私たちは通常、一度に約 1 か月ほど旅行し、食べられるものはすべて食べます。多くの場合、食べ過ぎないように、1 つまたは 2 つだけシェアして食べます。毎日少なくとも 10 マイルは歩く傾向があり、ハイキングもよくします。家にいるときは、旅行中に思いっきり楽しむためにカロリーを節約できるように、非常にヘルシーで野菜をたくさん食べます。

[@user-uv2or4mp5z]

Yeah. Those bullet trains are very impressive. Upon stopping in stations, they have personnel that bow to the conductor. To them it's an honor to be in the cockpit of that extraordinary piece of machinery. You don't feel any movement whatsoever while that thing flies. And they're never late. Within an year, am maximum of 10 seconds delay per total. It's another world that country. I dare you to travel by train in Romania :)))). Late every time, and the movement of the train, it's therapeutic massage.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Hahahahah. The last comment had us laughing so hard! We got to visit Bucharest but sadly missed out on the other cities. We do want to return and ride the sketchy train all over! You’re right though Japan is top notch! Thanks so much for this comment, it made our day

[@user-kp5ty4uc1k]

ローソンならからあげクン、セブンイレブンならタマゴサンドかな？

[@HeresGoodTravel]

これが私たちの定番のおやつです！ 誰かが卵サンドにチキンを挟んだ方がいいと言ったので、今度は帰りの便を予約しなくては😂

[@javieryaguez4582]

The best item on the combinis is the Chou. It's a pastry with lot of custard cream and regular cream in his interior. This is easy the BEST supermarket pastry I ever experience. It remain me an Eclair but fat and round . The best, and cheaper, Chou you can find is on Newdays, a combini store that you can find in the JR stations.

[@javieryaguez4582]

For a salty snack I will go for the Nigiri of tuna/mayo. It's like a drug when you taste one.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Thanks for the tip! Are these in the packages by the other baked goods on the shelf?

[@HeresGoodTravel]

🤤we will keep an eye out for these!

I work at 7-Eleven, so I'm sad that 7-Eleven is not your choice.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

We love 7/11! We went there most often on both our trips. We feature them in some of our day in the life videos to come but we are trying to plan a whole video dedicated to 7/11! We might do a compare and contrast with 7/11 in the states, stay tuned!

I think it was a great decision not to include 7-Eleven, which is gaining a bad reputation among us Japanese lately, in this determine the Convini-King. Lawson and FamiMa(FamilyMart) are safe to use because they do not have the raised-bottom packaging and capacity fraud of 7-Eleven.

[@DisingenuousComment]

speak for yourself. 7-11 is still king for me

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Wow we honestly had no idea that 7-Eleven was having so many sketchy issues! We are planning on sharing the foods we ate there as well and hope that it is not controversial

[@HeresGoodTravel]

lol, we like it too. We hope that they are being ethical though

[@szhinkoszhinko5006]

if you’re still in tokyo you have to try ginza happo seafood buffet. it is in the basement of ginza nine building. hands down the best seafood buffet in tokyo. lobster, snow crabs, king crabs, different cuts of wagyu beef, roasted duck, unlimited sashimi tuna, salmon, snapper, scallops, yellow tail. they even have horse meat. to many to mention. u just have to try it.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Holy cow! This place looks to be incredible! How did we miss it. We have a lot more videos to post but we are home in San Diego now editing the footage. We saved it to our map and wrote it in our notes, we promise to go on our next visit. Thanks so much these are EXACTLY the types of places we like to visit!

Hi Alyssa and Brandon. Watching from Canada and I would say my favourite snack at a convenience store was a warm Jamaican patty. When I was a very little kid growing up in Canada, specifically Toronto I can get a warm Jamaican patty at any convenience store. A Jamaican patty is a flaky pastry wrapped around meat filling. It was a great afterschool snack.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Yes we’ve had these in New York! They are not very popular in Southern California apart from Jamaican restaurants. We still haven’t been to Toronto but we want to go to see the Blue Jays play, we’re huge baseball fans! We will be sure to grab a Meat Pie when we eventually visit!

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Wow, that’s amazing. We’ve tried those before in New York! Unfortunately, they’re not very popular in southern California where we live. We want to visit to Rounder to watch the Blue Jays play because we are huge baseball fans when we eventually do get to do that trip. We will be sure to get a meat pie for you!

This is the second time I’m watching this video and I just noticed that your audio on the bullet train was terrible. The auto was so low. I couldn’t really make out what you were saying. I don’t know if you can go back to this video, but can you do a voice on the bullet train? Sorry that was voice over on bullet train.

[@HeresGoodTravel]

Yeah sorry, that was just our very first time on the train and we weren’t aware just how quiet it would be. So we just had to whisper so as not to disturb others. Sorry for the low audio in that part, next time we will try to do a voice over.
