Delicious Breakfast from a Japanese Convenience Store! | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
When I hear "convenience store," I automatically think of sugary sweets (wrapped in plastic), odd-tasting hot dogs, and jars of pickled pigs feet by the cash register. My family did a lot of road trips when I was growing up. Convenience store food was always unhealthy, disappointing, and rather bland. Then I moved to Japan. Japanese convenience stores are amazing. You can withdraw money, pay your bills, ship packages, buy freshly made sandwiches, and pick up several healthy "side dishes" if you didn't have time to cook that afternoon. Ryosuke and I just moved (and we hadn't unpacked anything at our new place)... so we ran to the nearby 7-11 for breakfast!

"I like my coffee like I like my men."
Strong and completely impenetrable? xD -
you don't put ketchup on a corndog! only mustard and a LOT of it :) (kidding btw, it's however you like it. and here in NC corndogs are pretty sweet too. almost like a sweet pancake or even funnel cake batter on them.. with corn flour. so dang good)

when I would visit Japan, and stay at Western style Hotel (New Otani, for example) there were always two styles of breakfast, Japanese breakfast and Western style breakfast (usually a buffet). I could not bring myself to eat Japanese style food, so early in the morning. For lunch or dinner I enjoyed normal Japanese fare, but not breakfast.

Yeah Convenience Stores in Japan are way better than those in the U.S. The things you could do in one of them you would never be able to do in one in the U.S.

Wow, how cheap. If I would live in japan i would probably eat convinience store food all the time because it looks fantastic and tasty and its really affordable

My mother in law is Japanese, so we have visited family in Japan, and I found the hardest part for me, other than being told what to do all the time, was breakfast food. I don't like being challenged with food in the morning - Mido soup with seaweed and cabbage, and always plain rice, every morning. I like oatmeal, eggs and toast, just regular bland American breakfast food. And hot coffee with milk is a must. * sigh*. "working class" family in Yokosuka, pre-WWII house, tatamis, no chairs, very traditional. I'm sure one gets accustomed eventually, but it was tough being the tanned, blond, curly haired American daughter in law. Major culture shock.
