Tasting Japan's Newest Convenience Store Foods!

[@xPandamon]

I really love this channel, have been subscribed for ages, still remembering Justin, of course.. It's just two wholesome dudes that love each other, live together, exploring the culinary world of Japan, without showing any of the modern behaviour people associate negatively with being homosexual. Thank you guys for giving us wholesome content that nobody can dislike ^^

[@danmccarthy4700]

I literally lol'd at your reaction to those mini croissants.

[@spasticsadcase]

I'm glad you are feeling better Shinichi. Your convenience store reviews are my favourite! Just casual and cool stuff. Just do whatever you want

[@Scriptor13]

Haha! I'm also a sucker for great packaging, Shinichi. Your super positive reaction to the croissant puffs is making me reconsider my choices. 😋 I'm _so_ happy you're feeling better, both physically and psychologically. Please don't push yourself again. Your happiness and well-being are everything. And, selfishly, I'm hoping you both continue to enjoy making videos for years to come. You've become like family to me and I would miss seeing you if you burnt out. Love to you both. 💜💜

[@pikakerose]

lot of yummy snacks good when u got the munchies must be hard to decide what to get btw i love your aloha shirt looks real retro

[@mcmelbourne5927]

Loved all the snacks, I'm hungry & cooking donner whilst watching! When in Japan I really loved Lawson's rice & pearl barley onigiri with umeboshi - really delicious, I sought them out a lot😄Really like the sound of the chips with perilla leaf, good thing they are not available here or I could be in trouble! I say yes, go back and buy more whilst in stock😋

[@nyoko2926]

Thank you Shinichi for the warm and welcoming videos. I have been subscribed for many years now, and follow all of your channels. Mental health is a welcome topic, as you and others struggle sometimes. I apreciate you and Satoshi a lot! Take care 🥰

[@loudsisi7895]

I love these videos where you're trying new products from my favorite shops! ❤ The first time I visited Japan, I didn't dare to try food from convenience stores. I expected the items to be mediocre (just like they would be in Europe convinience stores), and I was unfamiliar with Japanese ingredients being used in desserts, like anko bean, mochi, sesame , chestnut, etc. But after that visit, I started ordering from Bokksu and got completely hooked! When I went back this spring, I visited convenience stores, especially 7/11, every single evening after a long day of walking. I tried different snacks and drinks each time and was amazed at how tasty and affordable the food was, even the fresh items like onigiri and sushi were so delicious! I think theses stores were more fun for me than visiting large shopping malls 😂 or I must be getting old 😂

[@me0wKat]

This is wholesome space and I live for that ❤

[@joshpetasalmon937]

Thank you for sharing these ever day foods with us, that we can all access when at a conbini in Japan. We are visiting your beautiful county shortly.

[@MissJIF]

You aren't alone in burnout. Many creators from different categories took breaks or slowed down just when I finally made an account to get everyone's notifications. Some great ones haven't come back for months, some appear to have deleted a lot of content😭 Glad you decided to keep going! Yes finding a way to keep enjoying work is important. Some channels that are gone put out a lot, daily or just really involved production. 7 days a week reviews looks like too much? Most people don't have blocks of time to watch every single day anyway!

[@martinehippolyte4589]

You eating the croissant snacks brought me immeasurable joy 😁😁😂😂❤️❤️

[@GameCenterAdventures]

Team FamilyMart here! Over the years, I've found that out of the big 3, FamiMart always had everything freshly stocked, while providing the calmest shopping experience. 7 and Lawson are fine too, but over the last couple of years have just been inundated with patrons, which I guess is good for business but you always feel rushed. Plus, the Famichiki???? GOAT!!!

[@Guidance_Association]

Everything looks so delicious. 😮 I can’t wait to visit Japan again! ❤

[@Shinichisworld]

I hope you can visit again soon!

[@Guidance_Association]

@@Shinichisworld My nephew Nicholas is getting married in September this year. His future wife comes from South Korea. They will go there on their honeymoon in May next year. "Maybe" I'll accompany them both. (Only on the way there, not on their honeymoon.) So it would be a good idea if I visited Japan shortly beforehand.

[@SJ-yn1qi]

Hi from Australia! Melbourne has been freezing even by our standards! Hitting 0 or 1 degree over night with a "feels like" temperature of -2 and a top of around 12 degrees. If you're coming back to Australia, late spring and early autumn are the best temperatures😊

[@jenniferchin1222]

Thank you for your recommendation for the Croissant Snack. It is very addictive!!! 😊

[@Shinichisworld]

Glad you liked it!

[@evankalbach9985]

I like what is close. It's fun to be able to experience different things from the major three.

[@karenfujimoto8255]

I've tried the 7-11 in Japan and have never been disappointed ever worth their selections and tastes of their food.

[@lynnettebennett1341]

I have me enjoying the convenient stores on vacation...the rain has been interesting.... Going to Lawson for the croissant snacks to take back home😊

[@danamaxineyandt980]

I am happy to hear that you are feeling better ❤

[@Shinichisworld]

Thanks so much!

[@angelicrobles6292]

Just caught up with your channel before I'm heading to TabiEats. YES to Satoshi being here with you more. Oh, and this video had me laughing so much at your reaction to the salted butter mini croissants! 🤣🤣🤣 It was so sweet of you to put the rest of what you didn't eat back into the bag, for Satoshi. ❤️ I replayed the mini croissants part for my Mom and she says just by looking, she can tell they're that good! 🤤

[@aurane2556]

So cute that you know what Satoshi will like ♡♡♡

[@debracantrell1058]

Thanks for sharing this video enjoy this video take care 😘❤️🤩🥰😍🙏🌈💯🌹

[@evilcupcake84]

This is an excellent video, thank you Shinichi!!!! ❤🎉

[@ComplacentOtter]

Perilla chips?! YUM! I love the flavor of shiso leaves!

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Oh gosh Shinichi, this was another great food review from those convenience stores and I know when my son went to Japan he said he found some great food at the 7-Eleven and other places. I miss seeing Satoshi and am happy that the things he asked you to get you did and I am sure he will love them alot. Have a blessed and beautiful day, sending love and hugs, bye!! 😋🥰💜💜💜

[@TheCindyhoashi]

Yum! The chocolate Melon pan is like the croissant with chocolate chip cookie baked on top of a croissant.

[@An0n0mys]

Those croissants remind me of Buccees beaver nuggets in the US! At least from your description. Thanks for the video!! ❤🎉

[@yaminogame7805]

oh yes. Conbini are a staple in my japanese trips.

[@angieho3350]

Love it when you introduce snacka at the convenice stall. Thank you. Tik tok 😂

[@datlam7836]

Man these snacks look so good.

[@astroboy3507]

Shiso leaf wrapped with mochi yes yes!!!!!! 😊 Sydney it's winter yes I hate the cold 14 degrees and rain!!! 😢

[@NikkiM93]

Oh yummy snacks :D! Great to hear you're feeling better than prior take care of yourself :).

[@kimshearer6464]

I love every time you do a show about Lawson(s). We called it Dawson's when I was a kid. It brings back very fond memories if me growing up in Ohio where Lawsons started. Thank you.

[@spiritedreviewexc]

you inspired my snack vlog. I'm taking a much needed break, yesterday i was in a down word spiral, but i got some news that kind of cheered me up a bit, and 2 weeks till the convention so there's that. I also finished something that i will post in my community threads. it took a lot of blood sweat and tears into this dinky little thing, but i made it all by myself for the most part.

[@NicholasHay1982]

Thank you as always!

[@Kim-bv4gx]

I love all convenience stalls in Japan. Can’t get enough of them whenever I visit

[@Lifewitheelisa]

In Winnipeg Canada it’s 20C, humid, but cold and rainy. Those croissants are something I’d like 😀

[@samanthawauthier-paspuleti1992]

😅 your response to tasting the croissant puffs was priceless.

[@KevinRedmondWA]

Tuna with mayo onigiri is still my favorite.

[@erinrandall79]

I'm watching your vlog in Newcastle, Australia. It is lunch time and 12 degrees C. The temperature can vary quite a lot from Tasmania to Darwin or Northern Queensland. It snows in many parts of NSW, ACT, Victoria and Tasmania in winter. It is rare to see snow in South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory. In Japan, I love 7-Eleven best - their Onigiri is the best.

[@tamara4557]

I would definitely try the okonomiyaki chips, the gapao onigiri and the gyoza (sadly I don't have a family mart near the house I rent in Tokyo). I usually go to the 7/11 because they have an ATM that accepts my bankcard. For snacks and such I usually go to a supermarket, most of the times AEON or whatever supermarket I'm close to. Most snacks I buy are savoury, but I always have to buy yomogi mochi and those waffles filled with custard. I think they have the latter at 7/11. The weather here is typical Dutch. Hot for a few days (like 29C) and now dropped back to around 17C (which is cold for the time of year) and raining again....

[@inge6280]

Glad you’re feeling better, love the taste tests! We don’t really have any convenience stores near where I live, amazed at what they offer!

[@elizanjelaparreiramorris3507]

Greetings from Central California! It is super hot right now. We will be over 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) all week, peaking at 115. Love your videos! Can’t wait to visit Japan next year!!

[@CarolWhite-il7ki]

Pleased you feel better. Take care.sending love from UK.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

I like the crispy snacks, too. Your snacks today looked yummy, especially the mini croissants. Do they snacks with furikake or nori?

[@PREPFORIT]

It is the beginning of Summer here in Canada. We cherish every warm and hot day. In Thailand, most of the Family Marts are Now Tops markets. But they have the same snacks as Family Mart Tokyo Japan.

[@pikakerose]

and i love your aloha shirt it looks real retro

[@siamesejasmine]

I love your shirt!!😊 Ooh!! And I love your Maneki Niko picture in the background!!❤ I live in South Florida, USA and it is downright swampy (disgustingly hot and humid). Florida is flat and not far above sea level, so there’s NO relief!

[@Its-Kat_]

Lawson is my favorite, especially for their mega size iced cafe latté. Also the Lawson 100 and Natural.

[@james7149]

My favourite convenience store would depend on which neighbourhood, although, I like them all and wish we had the same here in Australia. I think 7 Eleven Onigiri were best. As for the weather here, in the South it was a cold frosty morning…in the North in Cairns today it’s 28c. So this time of the year in Australia you can technically snow ski in the southern mountainous region and then fly north and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef.

[@lynnettebennett1341]

I ate the little croissant snacks ❤❤❤❤❤

[@littlepear72]

When I was in Japan, I literally ate most of meals there. So many choices and so fresh compared to north America. I miss them all!!!!

[@j.k.7985]

Would love to try the shiso chips; love shiso. I am always reluctant with Japanese flavored chips, since they tend to be too sweet.

[@donnalile6548]

Just left Asakusa and our favorite was 7/11 of course!! Stopped every evening for our “snack”

[@MiggyMeista]

Went to Japan from February 24th to March 11th this year. My favorite konbini was FamilyMart mainly because it was the closest to where I was staying and it had the best selection of food, that Famichiki is just too damn good

[@fordimension]

12 degrees today in Adelaide Australia. That's around the coldest it would get here during the winter.

[@karaleea1671]

you always have the coolest snacks we don't have here in America .its 71 degrees on long island new York by me .

[@jh9304]

I need those croissant puffs in my life......

[@booklover555]

The harbor chiffon cake would be extra good with sliced strawberries.

[@rebeccagilman2020]

🌺 Aloha Shinichi, Please say, hello to Satoshi 👋🏼 I’m wondering if 7-11 has these Japanese treats in Hawai’i. I’m going to check it out. Mahalo for sharing Shinichi! Keep up the great work that you do! 🤙🏽 🥰 Thumbs up! 👍🏽 ❤️ Aloha…

[@rominaluisi8509]

Answering you question weather realted... I'm from Argentina and we are in winter right now. I'm from Buenos Aires and we are having an average of 7-9 degrees celsius but in the south of Argentina around -10 celsius. Love your channel!!!!

[@MattinJapanTFreviews]

We have Mini Stop in the Tokai area famous for their soft serve.

[@pikakerose]

sorry shinichi lm not on tictok but im glad youre feeling better i love your videos

Hi Shinichi it's 12 Celsius in Sydney Australia right now, it has been very cold the last few weeks.

[@CynFinnegan-lb2uo]

It is hot and humid in Arizona right now. Not as hot where I'm at as it is in Phoenix, but it's still hot.

[@booklover555]

The weather in Chicago has been weirdly fluctuating daily. Two days ago it was 95F and 75% humidity the next day it was a chilly 62F, breezy and you needed a sweater. The plus was zero humidity. Today kind of in between so no predicting from day to day.

[@tceller08]

It’s full on summer heat here in Florida. We did not discriminate! We shopped all of the convenience stores equally. Every time I go to a US convenience store, I pout that it’s not as good as Japan.

[@JD-ot9tv]

11 Celsius in Melbourne Australia

[@Christmas__365]

Hi brother!!! I cannot choose, I love all the konbini for different reasons. I’ve yet to do my own karaage taste test though, they’re never close to each other and I want all to be hottttt. I’ll be there in October and will be on the hunt though!

[@Christmas__365]

Also! Loving the hair and shirt!!

[@NagatoNaoeProduction]

How hot is it there? Today was the coolest of the week at 101°F/38°C but the rest will be between 106-112°F/41-44°C but with very low humidity.

[@haraldsigurdsson1232]

Stinging nettle:) I was wrong. Followed you on tiktok👍

[@LoanPhan-t4f]

❤❤❤

[@foundinjapan]

That is a lot of food. Always interesting to see stuff from different areas and different Kombini. I am a Family Mart man so havent seen some of these.

[@mchotsie4723]

Pretty hot here in Southern California….averaging 85-90 F these days

[@asuranrocks]

he loves SAKUTTO snacks

[@dbwatx931]

100F Texas

[@CarolWhite-il7ki]

What is mocha please . take care.

[@restaurantman]

👍🙂👍

[@tgilroytg]

I love your reaction to the croissant chips! Damn!! lol. I think I’d love them too 😋

[@bonwatcher]

I'm wondering if Satoshi actually got them. 🤔😂
