The Winner Shocked Us! - Convenience Store Food Battle!

[@zoftigbeatnik]

I wish food at convenience stores in the US looked like the food there. It always looks thrown together here.

[@Sundaylamb3]

yes Japan is insane right? The vending machines are crazy too.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

This was such a fun video. We loved it! I'm a fan of the Family Mart egg salad sandwich. Looking forward to seeing you guys this spring.

[@Scriptor13]

It was fun watching you be surprised! It's nice when old familiar things exceed one's expectations.😊 Love to you both. 💙💚

[@perdomot]

Love these kinds of videos so I hope you do more of them. Your cup ramen videos were so awesome and I'm hoping you do an update especially any collabs with ramen stores.

[@tigerrom03]

Very comprehensive comparison from price, weight and personal preference. Thank you for the efforts put into the comparison.

[@GenAnxiety]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your videos ! ! ! ! My wife and I will be there the first week in April for 8 days. Your videos have helped me soooo much. It's still so overwhelming though. Can you recommend a personal tour guide service? We will be in Tokyo for 4 days and then in Osaka for 4 days, making day trips to surrounding areas. So excited !

[@josephschminkey5717]

I really enjoy these type of videos. Thank you.❤

[@xnonsuchx]

I was a little surprised about the onigiri because I think they both said before that 7-Eleven had the best rice.

[@BlkMrktAglets_]

Thank you for your content! We really enjoy you two and your reviews/information

[@Neerepha]

Please more edits with Satoshi meditating 😂❤ or just funny cuts in general

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Though our hotel has quite a popular breakfast restaurant, we prefer popping over 7-11 across the street for their egg sandwich, premium salt grilled Salmon & premium gold sablefish with miso Bought some Lawson X Godiva collab desserts yesterday .. yet to try it but looks pretty good

[@mjpenn7]

Gentlemen! Love your channel. You complement and enhance each other in sharing opinions and impressions. And I love Japan and have good friends in the Kanto area. I've had the pleasure to visit Japan 35+ times for business (from the SF Bay Area) and your show helps me experience more of Japan when I'm not there. Bless you and thank you. 🙏👏

[@dennistani1986]

Our local Lawson store has some food items they make at the store like bentos, hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken. They make excellent egg salad and tonkatsu sandwiches. They are very tasty, try it on your next trip here!

[@Texasneo]

My daughter LOVES the Lawson spaghetti. A LOT. 😁

[@astroboy3507]

Nice vid guys nice tanita scales too!!!!😊👍🏻

[@angelt9862]

I’m so excited for this 🙂

[@Shiba2007]

This video made me hungry!

[@Ehawkjj2]

Best fried chicken is Mini Stops spicy fried chicken. They’re just not as widespread as the big 3

[@mariacatherman3416]

Great video! I can't wait to try your favorites when we go to Japan 😍

[@monotonehell]

0:15 "a long long tamago"

[@phantaztix]

To be fair... I'll take any of those, from any of the markets, over the junk we have here in the US. But I'm surprised at the results after this. I'd say Lawson deserves the win!

[@Guidance_Association]

Again a great video! I am a fan of "Tamago-Sando" & "Melon-Bread" - everyone of them looks good!

[@wendy5972]

I'm team 711. Thank you for the video!

[@TabiEats]

Thanks for watching!

[@fridaohman5974]

Been a while since I watched you guys and randomly thought of you today. It's so lovely seeing you two again. Also LOVE how much Satoshi likes umami - Same Satoshi, same! ☀

[@ramenpharmacist]

always watned to know this answer!

[@appo9357]

I can’t wait to go over there and try all these things. 🎉

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Oh Shinichi and Satoshi I really love curry and I also love making it and there is a Japanese store in Utah that me and my son and his dad drive to it and get these small boxes of Vermont Curry that is made in Japan and it is so delicious and I always put in hamburger, potatoes, carrots and onions and the spices in these are so tasty and all of our favorites, and also add the rice with it and I really love that curry so much, I do love a delicious curry. Chicken Katsu is also one of my favorites and I also have cooked that, there is also this eating place called Mobetta's that has the food from Hawaii and they have the Katsu chicken and terriyaki chicken and shrimp and a few other kinds of meats, it has really delicious food. Gosh I really love seeing all of your great videos they are so fun to watch and see so much delicious food. I know when we go to that Japanese store there are alot of really great foods that we can get and enjoy alot. Sending love and hugs, bye! 😋🥰😍💕💜💜💜💜💜

[@DavidYu-j7u]

The ministop spicy fried chicken is bomb when fresh

[@agneskunibrown2991]

I love 7:11 melon bread and fruit bread and coffee the egg sandwich was okay the coffee and melon bread is so good and fruit sandwich is so yummy I want to go back just to eat 😋😊

[@MissJIF]

Thank you for doing this video! Trying to get my bf into eating from conbini if we go to Japan. I have gluten allergy so cannot eat at his favorite McDonalds or most cheaper restaurants. These type videos are getting him more interested in trying!

[@titasmom678]

So much fun to see the comparison. I wonder which one surprised you the most? Lawson's Curry, I think.

[@ekunina5410]

I don’t care for egg salad sandwiches because the egg tastes to chickeny. 🤣🤣🤣

[@rayanagi]

I'm so excited! For the first time I'm actually eating Japanese food while watching your taste test video! 😂 A local place added tonkatsu ramen to their menu so I got to try something new. I have no idea if this comes close to authentic but I loved it! Delicious.

[@YasoJ-o6r]

Fabulous!

[@GraceCreatesLivingSpace]

It all looks delicious to me

[@Jhud69]

All of these things I love making at home but man I sure miss being able to just buy them at a konbini in Japan!

[@jstephens2758]

The curries looked good. Wish you tried the karaage. The combination was quite a bargain.

[@Theslowtravellife]

Can you please please do a calorie comparison of each ❤

[@brucetownsend691]

The Lawson egg sandwich is popular with foreigners because Anthony Bourdain revealed it to be his “guilty pleasure” when in Japan. So it became well known to his large eternal fan base. Personally, I have always preferred the Family Mart version, which used to be the cheapest too. But they are all good and I eat a lot of them when in Japan as they are great as a light meal. I also wonder how universal the taste comparison actually is. The big convenience stores have a number of regional suppliers: the fresh food items are not all made in Kanto and then shipped to all stores throughout Japan.

[@melissalambert7615]

This was great fun! I recently watched a Ytb page Kyodokan make a "Japanese Egg Sandwich", Tamago Sando. He is fun to watch but very particular. Sieved and mashed the yolks. He added 1 pt salt, two pt sugar and a special mirin. I'm going to try and make this because I can't get it here. BUT - in searching for him I saw there is video from you guys making it (5 years ago) so I'll have to watch that too. Funny about the curry battle and Lawson winning. I like spicy curry. I've watched several people make this and apple is often added to the sauce. Hello from rainy Oregon US.

[@flatironnewyork]

i had a spicy tuna mayo with corn onigiri but i can't for the life of me remember where it was from. it was the very best one i had from a konbini

[@annekenagao3236]

What! 7-11 tuna mayo onigiri is my favorite hands down. The nori is so much nicer.

[@SeventhSwell]

A long, long tamago.

[@KardoganLR]

Unfortunately, I never was in Japan, so I've never tasted it in person. I hope, I can visit Japan in 2-3 years.

[@sarahp8937]

I'd love to see you do a blind taste test and rank them without knowing the price!

[@markshen3280]

When you weigh your food items, did you subtract the weight of the plate ?

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 🥰♥️

[@gailcrockett9883]

Was in Japan September thru November. In cities, country side and coast line northeast. Family Mart is not as common in country rural areas and northeast coastal communities like Lawson's and 7 Eleven. Preferred egg salad sandwich with more filling because price and quality were good match. Cant remember but fid not prefer the fried chicken that tsse like Kentucky. Too greasy. Tuna Onigiri liked best was Family Mart and 7 Eleven thus item was always sold out quick in both. Conclusion all three locations have great food - sandwiches and meals for in the go convenience. I cluding the cucumber, ham, egg salad 3 layers.

[@debracantrell1058]

😘😘❤️🥰😍🤩💯🌹🌈🙏

[@tamara4557]

I usually go the the convenience store closest, so most of the time it's 7/11. But when I lived in Yanaka it was the Lawson. That said I think I go to the supermarket most of all. As long as you don't have to heat up food, I think a supermarket is also great for tourists as they have a lot of bento, sweets etc. There is just one think I always buy at 7/11 and that is the custard waffles😅

[@markshen3280]

Good afternoon from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. No matter how or where a TAMAGO SANDO (egg-salad sandwich) is made, the bread 🍞 is usually dry, and not much taste to the scrambled eggs inside other than salt 🧂 and mayonnaise……, so it’s quite boring….🙄
