Is this why I am seeing so many videos talking about Japanese 7-11s recently? Watched a few videos on LEARNING JAPANESE and now my YT feed is full of things showing how cool 7-11 is over there. lol
When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.
Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

Japanese konbini, 7-11 included, are truly amazing.
Legitimately the Japanese convenience stores are peerless compared to anything outside their country.
Family mart over 7-11 though IMO
100% agreed. Family Mart over Lawson, as well.
FamilyMart and Daily Yamazaki have the best fresh food, and usually the best prices.
I do like Lawson’s chicken nuggets, though.
Thai ones are also good.

Or leaves and a boiled egg.
Boiled?! I’m not made of money.
