It was just yesterday I was wondering "when is Martina gonna post next!" So glad to see you again Martina :)

[@onoffsoul]

It would be so cool if you made this into a series, where you show different conbini meal hacks (maybe one for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert etc) 🤤 btw the carbonara looks sooo delish japan really has next level convenience stores!

[@Twisastar]

Dessert! Yes!!

[@RIXRADvidz]

Japan seems to have revived you, Your Sparkle and Shine are on FULL BLAST !!! Bigg Huggs !! So glad you're so Happy in Japan. And We LOVE Hacker Woman !!! Extra Smiles all around !

[@ladyremy8783]

Girl, you pulled up on my screen and I had to shout at my boyfriend, "Baby, come here! Martina looking cuuuuuuute!" Loving your hair buns. Love some pasta! I'm so happy for your cooking vids!

[@KingKogi]

*tee hee hee* oMg ArE yOu FliRtInG wItH mE!?

@@KingKogi Haha! No! I'm just kidding... unless. (✿¬‿¬) Omg! How can I not, Queen?! XD

[@ramencurry6672]

I agree. Martina is cute. Her face is perfect

[@ItsCreepP]

I LOVE THIS MARTINAAAA also whaddap hacker woman!

[@ariellavender4553]

This was a really fun video, it's awesome seeing you playing with the editing in the video, so that even something as simple as Combini hacks becomes super fun and engaging!! Thank you Captain Martina!!

[@KingKogi]

Yay! I can always rely on Editor Martina to add extra flair to the videos 💕 I consider the editor the extra person in every video. Each person's edit is unique, so they bring a new character in that sense.

[@Twisastar]

I am here and have always been here for those edits! 😊

[@MauraEC]

Martina you are truly a content creator! After a stressful day this is so fun to watch.

[@KingKogi]

I'm so happy it's fun! That's to goal, giving everyone a laugh and smile. Sorry for your stressful day

[@baconnegg6628]

Just recently moved to Canada from Japan. I didn’t realize I took convenience stores in Japan for granted. I miss the onigiri and cafe latte from Lawson and 7/11. I miss the good food and convenience I had in Japan over all. Love to see more food contents from you Martina😊

[@GaiusGear]

Hacker woman is truly a madlad. Trying to cut open one of those buns? The bravery. The audacity. Godspeed, hackerwoman, and your bun related hacking.

[@poudingue]

@King Kogi i'd try cutting it with scissors ! snip snap all around the filling !?

[@marysmagdalene]

Omg I wish American convenience stores had food as good. This literally looks like stuff I could make on my lunch break!

[@spacejunk2494]

I think there may be now. Cause I read it somewhere , where Japanese 7/11 owns the American 711. So there are convenient stores that are testing stores before they enforce in the main stores.

[@sheshiechan]

I wish our fast food were like those overseas 😩

[@JakeBroe]

Almost at 100K subs!! You got this!!

[@KingKogi]

Thanks Jake! I need to get back into the posting groove so people have a reason to subscriber 🎥

[@orangeandannieftw]

I was literally just thinking - I haven't seen a Martina video in a while, I miss watching her content... Boom! We share a brain, it's official 💁‍♀️ Love how informative yet entertaining your videos always are ☺️🌿

[@Holly0625]

Martina, you're back! Watching this video felt like catching up with an old friend. I started watching you in 2011, when I was 11 years old, and I'm 21 now, about to be 22! Seeing all the changes you've gone through; I can't even imagine how hard everything was for you, was upsetting for me. You've always been so happy, even in hard times, and I'm super happy to see you haven't let the challenges get the better of you! I can't wait for all the great content from you! 💝

[@ghostofjfk]

I feel like I'm gonna crryyyy. I've been watching since you were in Korea and seeing you thrive and release your full creativity is so inspiring. I'm so fucking proud of you 🦕✨

[@Ryanwithan.r]

Martina is literally glowing, so glad to see her again! 🌸✨

[@indigothecat]

Japan is on a whole different level with convenience store food; it feels wrong to even call it that! I guess Conbini really is the correct term! Also, so cool to see Martina in her element again! :)

[@tinyloophole]

i feel like we’re not paying enough attention to the fridge opening on both sides?!?! HOW?? hahahah! such a joy to watch as always, martina!

[@asimpleworm]

I would love to see some gluten free midnight munchies!! I was recently diagnosed with celiac and I'm still trying to figure out fun snacks and stuff~~

[@skootzkadoodles]

Yeah agreed! Maybe some onigiri recipes? Unfortunately a lot of japanese food has gluten in it but if you make it yourself its very easy to make gf versions!

[@pyromei]

that fridge is truly the most magnificent thing I've ever seen... it opens on two hinges? how does that work?? that's magical!

[@TheBusyJane]

Couldn't concentrate any time Martina's belt/corset was in the frame because the way light bounces off it makes it look like it lights up and it's magical.

[@KingKogi]

Magical rib support~

[@heejs6100]

Ugh, with all the candles and fairy lights, the vibes are immaculate

[@rainX21kitten]

The new kitchen is so cute!! And wouldn't be complete without a few tiny friends

[@PixieLovesItAll]

that cart looks so useful, totally need one to put my stand mixer on in my no counter space kitchen! 💙 and omg, so yummy! 😋making up a quick alfredo sauce with frozen zucchini noodles and precooked chicken and/or pre-crumbled bacon is one of my favourite quick low carb lunches when I can't spare any time to make anything from scratch 💛

[@caleighrosebud]

Wow western convenience stores need to step up their game! These look sooo good, what the heck 🤣 Can’t wait for a house tour, I’d love to see all your magical little sections like the miniatures in the kitchen 💗

[@clairedeluneee]

Definitely excited for a future mini item tour! And I wish we had food as good as that in convenience stores here in the states, that carbonara hack looks delicious!

[@ivviefaerie]

I love this. My favorite version of a combini hack here in the states is from Trader Joe's: their frozen chimichurri rice + frozen just-grilled chicken strips + chicken broth was so tasty and such a godsend in college.

[@ccmingos4412]

omg Martina, hacker woman kills me, please bring her back lots

[@KingKogi]

She's my new roommate so I guess I have no choice.

[@shannona3613]

So glad to see you get ownership of your videos on eyk!!

[@GigaKitten]

Late to the party on this video - but Martina, please make sure to include your eggnog recipe for your cookbook/Midnight Munchies ♥ I've been making it since you first put it up some years ago :3 Also YAAAAAY!! I love seeing these videos pop up on your channel, keep up the great friggin' work, gurl!! ♥

[@OrangeGraffiti]

lol i recently rewatched that video! Tis the season after all. It's such a good recipe :')

[@smolbirb2]

I have been on the train of just trying to eat at least 2x a day, but I don't have a lot of energy to cook because I am in a grief/depression period since my mom died and my relationship ended with my last partner. I find that oatmeal in the morning (they have neat little single packs that allows me to not have to wash dishes all the time), and using canned soups and adding single packs of steamed rice (these make for easy clean up). My only issue with this is that I hate all the trash i make, so i have been looking for eco friendly packages, but rn I am just trying to keep myself fed and stress-free. That is my issue when I have a hard time building a ladder, I tend to not eat, just sleep. But so far, I have been getting better at staying fed. Thanks for this hack. Its super helpful.

[@Larienzia]

Eggnog revisited for midnight munchies :3 I need to make sooo much nog this year. Me and my sister LOVES it and follows the recipie from midnight munchies. It's liquid happiness.

[@kocronashi]

The fridge opening on both sides IS AMAZING! I've never seen that before 🤩 Any food hacks are the best hacks IMO ;) Great to see you posting again, hope you are well. Take each day as it comes and know we all love and support you. Take care!

[@melsheart8874]

I dying to try conbini food 😭😭 Hopefully once everything gets better, I've decided to visit Japan no matter what. Thank you Martina for posting your vibrant self. I missed you 💖💜💜💖💕🌈

[@Takara8tt]

Two Martina uploads back to back?! My eyes are blessed!!!

[@VillellaPinkUmbrella]

☁️✨💖🐷💖✨🌥 oh my fave food hack is getting frozen tamales and adding a sunny side up egg on top with avocado and hot sauce it’s sooo good a

[@KingKogi]

Oh that's an awesome idea! Where are you living to buy frozen tamales?

[@Mikaela_Westmt]

Martina, I really want you to try "どらもっち(Doramocchi)" from Lawson. It looks like a regular dorayaki but it's not. The texture of the cake is mocchy, it's next level dorayaki, I swear. So unbelievably yummy, you gotta try it. 😄 🌈L♥️ve

THIS this is what i missed so much. Thank you for the good vibes Martina. I can never be sad when watching your videos.

Coming to King Kogi for a new video is so refreshing after working my corporate job, it's like this is a space where you can be as magical as you want. Martina took back control of her life and she's living in her hella cute apartment in Japan and sharing the happy with all of us. Cheers, Captain!

whaaaat I didn't even know fridges could open like that !!! loving the kitchen Martina! Tiny decorations are NEEDED haha ever since I've seen your first tiny decorations I've been sooo obsessed in finding perfect little items to hide in the plants in my apt. They bring me joy whenver I water them 😊

[@303singer]

Loved this video, quick question. Do you think we will see any food adventure type content anytime soon? Love you!

[@thisisallthereis]

How are you able to move to and live in Japan when you're not Japanese? What kind of visa are you on?

[@KingKogi]

I work for a company and have a VISA via them. Also, hot tip: if you don't have a university degree, it is nearly impossible to get a job at a Japanese business.

[@bradylady2000]

I would absolutely love if you did a video on your basic Japanese spices and cabinetry essentials and also one on your basic homemade sauces so that I can start cooking Asian cuisine.

[@Qixzy]

Been feeling kinda down lately and seeing Martina in her new kitchen really brightened up my day. I'm sooo super happy for you!! I hope you have lots of time to enjoy Japan to its fullest.😊

Going to Korea soon and I'm super excited for the convenience stores 😅 this solidifies my craving 😋

[@KingKogi]

Korea has a WHOLE different ballgame of conbini excitement. Don't foregt to do some Ramen Hacks, they have a wall of additional toppings. And if you stay in a hotel, don't pay for their mini-fridge items, you can get them ALL at a conbini for 80% less money.

Conbini hacks for food that doesn't have dairy in it would be cool too...my body can't handle the gloriousness of cheese so it would be cool to learn some hacks that I could do lol.

This is all interesting but can we take a moment to respect that fridge.

[@lore6370]

Your kitchen is looking so cute Martina, and I'm very jealous of your fridge, I have a small kitchen too and it'd be so convenient to be able to open for both sides. I'm really enjoying your videos, you can see the love you put in them, so many cute details, and the editing is amazing. 💗💗💗

[@NewGrowFlow]

Hello Sweet Martina You always brings so much joy, warmth and realness to life! Makes me so happy to see you! Wish we all could travel somewhere to meet and eat together! In the meantime wishing you and all enjoy all you do with love and laughter! Much appreciated! 💙🙏🍀

Seeing your cute miniatures always makes me want to finally start collecting things. I’ve resisted for years because the thought of taking care of stuff exhausts me, but I really need to give in to the impulse and see where it takes me. What’s the worst that could happen? I hate it and donate or sell the stuff? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Big whoop. Another great video! Super jealous of Japans soft conbini eggs! 💜

[@SQUIZZLER24]

Hackerwoman forgot one key ingredient in her recipe… When you walk through the front doors of the konbini, make sure you say “I’m in.” in a low voice.

[@msnintendique64]

This looks so good. I’m seriously thinking of making it from scratch since the PNW has a lack of delicious conbini pasta.

[@catingrey]

So glad to see your comments again! You need a serrated bread knife to cut pizza man a little more easily. Even the cheapest dollar store (or probably Daiso for you) serrated knife will work! Just hold the bread gently and think saw, not stab. Now back to me being jealous at all the stuff you can get at your conbini!

[@tarynnosaurus_rex]

Do you ever notice vegan meals at a conbini? Since I was a teen I'd always wanted to go japan and try all the foods, but I went vegan 2 years ago and I'm worried it would be a difficult place to be vegan... I'm aware of 1 vegan store in Tokyo but I feel like it's very niche

[@nutrinogirl456]

Having lived in Japan, I'm going to be real honest you are 99.9% not going to. If something is even vegetarian it'll have cheese. Plus, many times there wasn't even any pasta that was vegetarian. Your best bet would be something like onigiri but honestly you won't find pasta that's vegan

[@nutrinogirl456]

In general being vegan in Japan I think is very difficult unless you are committed to cooking all the time. Many times even something that looks vegetarian on the menu won't actually be vegetarian. For example I've ordered salad ask them if it had meat on it and then still got served something with bacon bits on top. It's difficult because they often don't have a concept of being vegan or vegetarian at all. Japan does have a good amount of nice vegan restaurants though you just have to look them up in advance. I really recommend the app Happy cow for that. But yeah for day today you're going to really struggle unless you are cooking by yourself. But honestly if you're not living there and just traveling I wouldn't worry too much you'll be able to find vegan restaurants or places that have vegan options as long as you plan in advance. it's just a lot more difficult if you live there because you can't always pay to eat a restaurant of course you're going to have to cook by yourself

[@lilkitten545]

Sharla is vegan, she has done some videos where she finds vegan things but it does look very difficult unless you go to fusion places in Tokyo or cook the food yourself. kzbin.infovideos
