Trying NEW Items from Japan LAWSON Store

[@WantedVisual]

I love Satoshi for waiting to say it was spicy until Shinichi had definitively had a mouthful of soup. There was some timing to that.

[@FumioFunakoshi]

Lawsons is my favorite store by far...I could spend days there and not get bored !!

[@renyanlee]

Yes, the convenience store videos will never get old. I'm so envious of the convenience store varieties you have in Japan, and it's always nice to live vicariously just watching your videos.

[@jenniferhanson4828]

I could listen to Santoshi say may-o-naise all day long. 🥰

[@kerensatilley830]

Satoshi died a little bit inside when he learned cinnamon was in the babka 🤣

[@biggreenbananas8929]

Cinnamon is really quite pungent. It has to be balanced by something really sweet.

[@chibiren9301]

So many people told me it was expensive to go to Japan, but we found the food at the convenience store very affordable and delicious. If traveling on a budget it is possible with convenience store offering. Those choices do look amazing!!! Oishi!!!

[@claytondavid3610]

@Tima same here in Australia, 7-11 is scary I actually avoid the place like the Plague.

[@noth606]

People who say it is expensive have probably never been to Japan. It's no more expensive than going somewhere in western Europe for hotels, and food is way cheaper in Japan if you do not go for super fancy stuff. I've been to Japan several times and even the cheap food there is spectacularly good, well worth going even just for that. Taxis are not cheap but not super expensive either, about the same as western Europe. Busses for long distances are cheap, Shinkansen train is pricey but cool to try once or twice just for the experience. But if you can budget about the equivalent of 100euro a day you can cover a business class hotel and food and some travel, a little more will allow you to try out some more exotic kind of food experiences like fine Wagyu beef, maybe Fugu if you are willing to try that (it's very good!).

[@claytondavid3610]

@@noth606 yep agreed Japan is inexpensive. I have been several times and yes the food and the sights are first class. Japanese people are so respectful compared to other parts of the World. I love everything about Japan, food, culture, nightlife sights, history and the people, so much so I married a beautiful Japanese lady. We have now been married 22 years. We never stay with family we always stay in hotels or Ryokans, as I love the hot springs (rotemboro)outside bath. Tip you must get away from the tourist traps otherwise you will pay dearly. All the of the Japanese konbini stores are way better than Australia for example, there sandwhiches are always fresh, the variety is huge compared the sad and sorry 7-11’s I. Australia.

[@claytondavid3610]

@Tima yes mate several times. My wife’s is Japanese. I love the culture, the people and the food. Also the sights and smells are wonderful. Have been to Aomori for the Nebuta Matsuri? It is an experience. Possibly Tsukiji market is my favorite place.

[@claytondavid3610]

@Tima have ever been there?what is best for you?

[@kerensatilley830]

I would love to try the bread with whipped cream

[@Malrats]

I would love to know the logistics of how these convenience stores have new items every week! That's so incredible to me. Here we're lucky if 7/11 has anything to eat at all, let alone new food weekly. They usually only have chips/snacks and drinks, no fresh food and if they do you wouldn't want to go near it. The only quality convenience store I ever had access to in my area is Wawa but they've become much larger and I think much of the supply coming from local places and all of their dairy coming from their own farms has likely switched over to massive factories somewhere to be able to supply much of the east coast with many of their products. Fascinating how differently things work!

[@CaSweety510]

So much good food!

[@nightfall22]

I loved this video and the family mart video! Keep them coming brothers!

[@heartoflotus]

I loved "...super oishii!" 🍙 It is amazing how many new items Japanese convenience stores get every week. Does that mean that they retire a similar number of items on a weekly basis too? Thank you for sharing! 🙏

[@TabiEats]

Yes they do. So many items are available for just a very short time.

[@heartoflotus]

@@TabiEats I guess that is a way to keep customers coming back every week. Is there a way to request your favorite items to come back in stock?

[@DawnChatman]

It's funny, I feel like if I ever visit Japan I just want to try all the food and convenience stores. (ok and omurice from that amazin guy in Kyoto)

[@Chikayo]

I wish I could eat what y'all are having!!!

[@73Yianni]

I love these videos, keep it up boyz😀

[@Nixx0912]

I wonder if your babka has any remote conection to our polish babka. It looks completely diffrent, we usually have it around Easter, it has raisins and/or candied orange peel in the dough.

[@appleringooishigd]

I think Lawson puts the most effort into chicken products🤔 Karaagekun…からあげクン is my most favorite convenience store hot snack

[@changwumei]

I really, really miss the convenience stores in Tokyo... Speaking of which, I watched a foreigner vlogger that staying in Japan, he says dining in a restaurant, you are actually paying for their service and environment. He says actually can get a pretty decent price (or even cheaper) of food ingredients from supermarket to cook. Is it possible to make a video of price difference when you dine out and cook at home? Let say, Shabu Shabu?

[@ashleejones1690]

This is true of the USA too: when you dine in a restaurant you are paying for the service and the environment. The menu price pays for the ingredients and for the preparation of the food and drinks, and the "tip" is paying for the service and the environment provided by the waitstaff. (I put "tip" in quotations because it is almost 100% of the waitstaff's income because the restaurant only pays them enough to cover the taxes taken out of their checks.) Unless you are cooking something that requires special equipment or uncommon ingredients, it is almost always significantly less expensive to cook it at home instead of going out.

[@TabiEats]

It’s always cheaper to buy ingredients and cook because for restaurants, they need to pay for staff, rent, electrocute etc.

[@changwumei]

Make sense.... I rarely eat out so kinda don't have much knowledge on those 😅 thank you very much for the information! 🙏

[@mrdascratch]

meanwhile in europe when we think of convinience food it looks often sad and tastes bland.. i miss japan so much.

[@nicki0704]

all looks interesting and I really wanna try udon. wish I lived in Japan ;(

[@lifesaver5384]

Am I the only one to notice? When you first see the chicken there is a tiny smiley face on it!

[@pikakerose]

i really enjoyed your convenience store videos thats neat that they come out with new items i had many fav tonight wish they had these in hawaii

[@alexcarter8807]

I wonder if they named Lawson after Eddie Lawson, great motorcycle racer on Team Yamaha.

[@ashleejones1690]

Lawson Convenience store actually originated in Ohio, USA and was named after J.J. Lawson, a dairy farmer! I don't think there are any Lawson stores left in the USA, though I could be wrong about that.

[@colmcorbec7031]

If only in the land of America we could get more than garbage attempt of anything close to this. I think this is a fine example of a Japanese man that controls the actual products in the Japanese stores. Is sad. You have it way better than we do here in US. Basically what we get from a 7-11 is literally garbage on comparison

[@Scriptor13]

Imo, if all convenience stores in the U.S. carried nutritious, delicious, and inexpensive food we wouldn't have quite as large a problem as we do with urban hunger and other diet-related problems. I'm also impressed by the freshness, variety of foods, and the rotating "menu" of combini. Thanks for another yummy and informative video, Shinichi and Satoshi. Everything looked so tasty.

[@sammysam312]

Totally agree. Food deserts are a huge problem in a lot of places in the US.

[@shadowtheimpure]

Japan is engaged in a 'race to the top' between the convenience store chains. They want to offer the best quality and service at the best prices. In America, we're engaged in a 'race to the bottom' where all the chains are cutting every single corner to maximize profits while slowly but surely reducing the expectations of the average American. We accept it, though, and that allows them to get away with it.

[@bassontreble]

There's a famous scene in the show Seinfeld where they go on about the hierarchy of babka. Chocolate is on top, cinnamon is a less-popular flavor but also pretty common (at least here in NYC). And yes, this Lawson one looks much more like the real thing than that 7-11 one.

Once again you leave me wishing I could try that and wondering how, if Japanese 7-Eleven and the like is so good, is the American version so craptacularly bad. Reheated rotating sweat dogs, preservative "burgers" more cardboard than meat, sodas, chips and candy. That's it.

The problem is that, here in America, the 'convenience stores' have no incentive to offer high quality products since the low grade garbage is still selling. American's standards have been decimated by a corporate-led race to the bottom.
