Twenty-four hours of conbini food in Tokyo: that's easy.
Egg salad sandwiches from Lawson for breakfast. Coffee.
Onigiri and green salad for lunch-FamilyMart. Apple juice. 
Dried squid for afternoon snack.
Curry bowl for dinner-7-11. Or kaarage from FamilyMart. 
Dinner washed down with Suntory "Strong".

I feel like every time we watch your videos, they get noticeably better and better. 
To make a 25 minute video feel like 5 minutes is such a talent! Seriously. 

We love kombini videos and can't wait to make them in the future ourselves..though it'll be pretty hard to top yours. So good! 😄

@MartinJ86

Need to up the challenge for the next one - like, 24 hours of only Lawson's food/drink BUT stuff you've not tried before! Love these kind of videos though, convenience stores might be the world over but it's always good to see what different items there is!

@rebeccakrupke8334

Please do a healthy combini challenge too! I’d love to see what I should be eating and grabbing. Also family mart was my favorite! I’ll have to give Lawsons another try next time

@jfdewoluwe

That looks so good. Japan is totally another level for food and drinks. The mochi looks so delicious.

@SherringtonBun

I grew up drinking Yakult as a kid. I don't drink it anymore but it's nice to see I can still get them at local grocery stores in California.

Hi,
I am native Japanese from Yokohama in Japan.
I’ve just subscribed your channel on YouTube.
You have a lot of knowledge about Japanese culture.
It is quite interesting to introduce Japanese everything and thanks for introducing Japanese culture.

@tdolan500

One of my mistakes visiting Japan for the first time was getting too hyped about Combi’s. 
Yeah they are fantastic and everywhere but it’s almost too easy to settle for a combini meal instead of going out and sitting down somewhere. 
Really are missing out if you’re sitting in your hotel room with a bowl of microwaved noodles and a sando!

@sarahramos2919

I’m on Japan time again, something that happens from time to time when my brain needs a break.  Loving the food and socks!

Thanks again for another wonderful video! Much appreciation from the States!

@MMTheSynthesizer

I love Natto! For the first time, I ate natto in Kyoto. As a Polish guy, I bought four packages of natto, I sat on the hostel kitchen floor and ate natto with pleasure :D Japanese hostel owners looked at me as a stranger who likes natto... They said: "We don't like natto. How you can eat it?" Same when I was on Okinawa; I love goya with scrambled eggs. Okinawans friends were wondering what I'd do, and I ate all! Yum, yum. Thank you for your great tips. I'm going to Japan this October for three weeks.

@AUCKata

The hair buns though 😍

Also who doesn't love a great konbini video 🙌🏼

@taniasalu2405

When I knew you bought the plums, I eagerly awaited the 'cat bum' reaction face. You did not disappoint. On a side note, we saved a lot of money in Tokyo by eating onigiri from 7-11. We can't get good ones here in Australia, and I'd love to see them on our shelves.

@AmbientWalking

Watching your video makes me feel like I'm somewhere else. Traveling without moving. Amazing!

@octeight7977

Rocking the look! Also, I feel your aussie accent has got stronger since you have been back home there recently ✌️

@JDigital123

I know it wasn't the focus of this video but I like how in Japan you can buy Nintendo videogames like Luigi's Mansion 2 at a convenience store. :face-blue-question-mark:

@SunnyNeuroshima

Recent subscriber from UK here. Love your channel and your food videos. I find them so useful and entertaining. I am visiting Japan for the first time in a few months and I cannot wait. Thanks for the great content.

@carlyoshihara4502

Yay... Curry flavor Cup Noodle! My friend in Tokyo brought me some couple years ago. It was really popular then, so I had a dozen mini size! He later mailed me a case, but because it had pork, it got confiscated by customs.

@寺沢T

Full open top type can will spray out when opened at room temperature. It is best to chill it well before drinking😅

IYOSHI Cola has a different flavoring for the canned version sold in IYOSHI's flagshipsto store. I recommend buying it at the store when you go to Shibuya.

At the flagship store in Shibuya, they also sell cola syrups, making it perfect for souvenirs.

@janusu

This konbini episode was awesome! Thanks for doing this, Sarah-san! Convenience stores in Japan are a totally viable option for tourists on the go. Prices are reasonable and the food is decent quality. I think even the 'junk food' options you chose today are still healthier than what's available at American convenience stores! And I love that so many of them even have a nice little dining area in-store. I'll join the chorus in saying yes, please do the 'Sarah's healthy version' episode.

You've hit the top 3, how about some of the other chains within, say, the top 10? Mini Stop, Daily Yamazaki, etc.?

I know in the Kansai area, a lot of the local train lines had their own convenience chains that you could find at the stations or on the platform. I think Hankyu's was Asnas (As Soon As), if I'm not mistaken. I'm going off memory from over a decade ago, so I could be a little out of touch. But I wonder, if that's still the case, maybe you could cover some of the local konbini chains around the Tokyo area.

I'm planning to visit Osaka for a few weeks later this summer with my wife. It'll be my first time back in Japan since 2008!! I'm looking forward to trying out some of the things you've covered (also TC, Lyssa, Charla, that guy Chris Abroad, etc.). I hope to catch at least one hanabi matsuri while I'm there.

I'm looking forward to the eventual boyfriend reveal. He's a lucky man!! I'm sure he knows it 🙂
