this video is brought to you by
Squarespace in this video I'm gonna
share with you guys my top 10 go-to
foods at a Japanese convening so I
haven't done a video like this in quite
some time so I thought maybe go back to
roots and kinda go or we like first
started and share with you guys some of
my recent favorite picks had a Japanese
can be in the store a lot of you guys
already know that Japan has one of the
most amazing convenience stores because
there's such a wide range of selection
there's new stuff coming out all the
time so like what better time to do a
video on this kind of stuff than now
since I haven't done it for such a long
time alright but before we start if you

definitely check out the Osaka merchants
I know that a bunch of you have already
purchased the Tokyo merch the Osaka

in the comments cuz I really want to
kind of like make this channel for you
guys yeah let me know I always like to
hear your feedback in the comments
alright so without further ado let's get
our convenien number one Oh Nico ha
snacks yokatta be from oh yeah suit
company alright so this is the no potato
chip potato chip the reason why I say
that is it's not really fried you
usually expect on potato chips to be
fried this one is actually not fried
what's even better is that it's made
from our favorite thing in the world
Oh what's even better and what's even
better it tastes like our favorite thing
in the world
meat I mean how can you go wrong you got
potato chips and you got meat you put
them together and you get this so here's
the chip itself you can see that it's
kind of like nice light and airy it's
almost looks like I'm up like chicharrón
or pork rind in the States you can see
kind of like the bubbles and when you
take a bite
that gets so Airy that when you take the
bite it just kind of all disintegrates
in like your mouth just like completely
just goes away it's just amazing meat
and lemon I mean who doesn't love meat
and lemon it's almost like you're having
Korean barbecue on potato chips 270
calories per bag so it's it's not like
the junkie potato chip because it's not
gone fried I just disappeared honestly
this one is nice because it is also a
new potato chip that they have in the
stores this one was probably released in
the last like month or two at least when
I noticed the first plan so I tried it
and you know I liked it so there you go
you're getting my tips number two
souffle pudding from Family Mart and the
next bad boy coming to you straight out
of the desert corner yay
too much energy maybe maybe not but
we're about to have some more energy
with this so this one comes from Family
Mart in fact it's a Family Mart treat so
you can only get it at valley mark think
of this and it's a soup Flay pudding it
says happy taste so it can't go wrong
with a happy taste this is actually one
of my cozy favorites that's why it's on
this list today it almost didn't make
the cut but Michael I'm tagging me and
gank me and she said Paulo please please
let's open this right now oh look at
that
biscuit looking thing it has some
whipped cream and as I'm putting it has
little light a souffle cake on top let's
take this bite
pudding is a little bit eggy not too
much on the egg like strong Exide but it
you can definitely taste some egg in
there the top cake part it's kind of
fluffy but at the same time take a bite
and it just kind of all turns into kind
of like a thick mushy mushy mash you can
see why you like this doesn't have the
calories on here I think that says oh
damn 356 Wow it has more calories than a
bag of potato chips okay so this is
apparently my favorite sweets like
afternoon snack this is just so good
because it's mixture of like gooey
pudding whipped cream and I just a
really moist souffle it's so light did
you realize this pretty important like
it's almost like a liquid you get a
little from me okay number three moko
Taemin Nakamoto you Makara yakisoba from
7-eleven you guys have might have seen
this this Nakamoto ramen before in one
of my previous videos it's like my top
spicy robin video but in just the last
few months they release their yaki soba
version it's spicy it has that fire it
has that mayonnaise it has that goodness
to make you feel like you are alive so
this is the finished product all I need
to do first was open it up take out all
like the three contents pour the hot
water in and then close the lid let it
sit for five minutes while I let it sit
for five minutes so there's like three
different sauce packets got to take the
liquid one you kind of like heat it up
on top and then after five minutes you
open the opposite side of the lid and
you pour all the water out there like
drain it then you add the powder and
packet is which is the liquid and you
kind of mix that all up together then
you add if I see me so mayonnaise on top
like it almost looks like it's like it's
like a URI orang it's like a Halloween
orange ring the alarm
woohoo because pollo is going to town ah
ha and spicy the liquid sauce is spicy
itself you can see when I wasn't putting
it on how much time like red oil that
was in there and I taste it it's quite
spicy but the spicy miso main is on top
although it's a little bit spicy kinda
gives it more of like a refreshing so
it's not like fire fire fire it gives it
kind of like a nice tangy taste to it
overall it is like a salty dish but you
would expect from yakisoba now the
little pieces of vegetables in here
which is a nice he'll also have these
kind of like beef chunks
hopefully it's real beef under
dehydrated beef I guess rehydrated with
water now for a few hundred yen to have
this spicy delight tongue is starting to
burn a little bit
sweat is starting to start so it's
either really hot in here or the
spiciness
like a big bite yeah it's number four
Kari Tory who may snack from Lawson so
bit on the lighter side we've got the
pickle plum this is like one of those
like perfect snacks just to take on the
go because it has the zip lock and you
can just kind of like put it in your bag
and then when you need kind of something
a little bit refreshing this is what I
go to and it's like super healthy so
this whole entire bag there's only 18
calories and what I really like is how
it just kind of like crunches when you
eat it mmm
it had that sourness of the umeå that's
a little bit of that moisture sill so
it's not like completely dried out so
you get that crunch it's such an
interesting textures how do I describe
this texture like biting into a plunger
kinda like this bouncy play in your
mouth but then at the end it just
crunches because of all like the
pressure from your teeth not even make
sense let me just show you how crunchy
this is Rishi Asian let me just show you
how crunchy this is there you go it's up
here at the store you want something
that kind of like wake you up or you
wanted something to snack on but you
want to be a little bit healthy this is
a ticket number five yakiniku bibimbap
with nine kinds of vegetables from
7-eleven so my go-to lunch money saving
lunch is this we beamed back from seven
7-eleven we have to quote seven here so
in the packets price and the toppings
are separated after you warm it up you
have to pour the topping on top of the
rice and what I do is I put the egg yolk
on top and it makes it like even milder
it's important to mix it really well
it's not as a meat that's why I like it
has none more it smells so good job
thank you master
I know how it tastes but
[Music]
I don't anything I hear but the
vegetables are really crunchy I love the
mixture of like a crunchiness and the
goodness hmm you get a little bit of the
savoriness from the meat I think what I
love about the bimba in general
is that it has all these different
textures it has a crunch from like the
sprouts and the carrots some spinach
onions it's just quite a lot that's
going on and it's like all tied together
for this kind of sweet barbecue Korean
sauce overall like this is kind of like
one of those meals that will satisfy you
like like you don't need to get anything
else if you go at the competing you can
just get this and you're gonna be pretty
satisfied at least I'm pretty satisfied
well actually no I probably would get
this and probably get like one more
snack but it is pretty satisfying in
general it's so good guys have one more
bite mmm

number six edit cheeky Mexican taco
flavor from Lawson fried chicken time
I'll be honest like usually
my favorite is the spicy red el chicken
is so much better when fried chicken is
a little bit spicy but today I kind of
wanted to share something a little bit
new they just recently released this in
Lawson these little flakes right here
are actually tortilla pieces and add the
tortilla shell flakes all embedded in
the fried chicken skin you can still
smell the lovely fried chicken this I'm
sorry guys like let me know if you guys
really don't like me doing fried chicken
anymore in any of these videos and I'll
stop because maybe you guys are getting
sick of fried chicken because it's
probably every other food video we have
here fried chicken but I just love it so
much something about fried chicken all
right let's take the first what's nice
is you can like taste the tortilla shell
like the hard tortilla shell but it also
has some spiciness something you guys
see that red oil right there so it does
have like this spicy kick to it as well
there's kind of like a spicy taco not
just like a taco kind of like a spicy
taco mmm so it's kind of like taking one
of my favorite things spicy fried
chicken and it's taking my other
favorite thing tacos and they put it
together and they made one fried chicken
number seven marinated quail eggs from
Family Mart and Lawson next is that
quail egg hitter so this one is one of
those like unsuspecting things that you
would never ever ever ever probably go
to the combini and say hey let me try
that but I did and I loved it these are
packaged quail eggs this one is from
Family Mart and this one is from Lawson
I usually eat the Lawson ones but Family
Mart ones are slow so they're like two
different flavors maybe you guys can
tell me which one you guys like better
if you come here alright so this one is
like the standard which I always go to
you can see that it's kind of like a
little bit moist inside that's kind of
like the juice is still there so it's
nice and moist
ah you know in two days it's like it's
kind of like an acquired taste some
people might not like it but I just
is I can eat a whole bag of these so
easily ever had this before why do you
see me eating out all the time I know
how is weird stuff like you let me like
Emily this is weird but like this is
know something I don't know like a girl
just like a pick it up like this dream I
I don't know like work break the inside
is more moist than I thought so the
picture is so dry so I'm like I never
tried it but yeah but like this is like
more of 3 is snack I think if it's light
does she
yeah cut silicon [ __ ] out over who loves
you like a Petoskey waver it's really
good with like me won't you
this one is from Family Mart this is a
smoked quail egg and it has a soy base
so it's been kind of like marinated in
like this original soy sauce that they
have but this one here is their original
and this one is this smoked like soy
base one have this one again now this
one is you ever had like those are
smoked sausages it almost like tastes
like that because I'd like the smoked
flavor to it it's a little bit more firm
than the original one man it's so good
number eight owes acne kuitse
cheeseburger flavor from house foods
alright so this one is a little bit safe
for you guys that don't like to be a
little bit risky no I'm just like hey
Paulo
can I get like a bag potato chips that
you like that's not so sour or that
doesn't have eggs or that's smoked or
just something that's just a little bit
standard this one is for you my Western
come Patriots this one is the O's ACK
potato chip bag but it's one of the like
the lightest in Arius potato chips here
in Japan and it is cheeseburger flavor
yeah you in the into the burner on there
I love how like fluffy and airy these
chips are look at that
hmm it has that cheeseburger flavor you
can see that chip itself has a lot of
bubbles see the Salt Lake's
a seasoned flakes has little holes good
I don't know how they make it though
that it has burger and the cheese flavor
that's amazing how do they do that
keep eating we want something standard
you want a good bag of chips airy and if
you're looking for that cheeseburger
flavor like Annie Clark mr. Zach meet a
big birthday a nod or you see so oh so
it's like breathe through your nose like
a freshness number nine who made Chee
demon onigiri from Lawson again I had my
picks but decided to let Michael win
this one as this is her super pick today
so this is an OE nutty son which means
it comes in like this tofu skin bag but
it's like a tofu pouch that they've kind
of like drafted in and inside of the
tofu pouch you have the rice ball itself
let me just open this up for you you can
see the little fish the little sesame
seeds you can see that bloom a on top
it's like licking my fingers
it tastes like yakisoba you can taste
the sweetness of the tofu pouch has been
sweetened take a bite
hmm there's just so much flavor in there
it's like it's sweeter than I would
expect
really really picks up a lot of flavors
in here you disobey but may itself isn't
so strong here it's kind of like a
subdued like a mild mild taste fish you
can all can barely taste it gives it a
little bit of that savoriness I think
cause it does have that a little bit of
the saltiness man the tofu is probably
like the star here's the one that kind
of stands out oh there we see no you're
not I think the rice is a little bit
vinegary this sourness is not coming
from the myself but from the rice they
made it kind of like the sushi like rice
so it's more like you feel it lighter
than the regular Nagini it also has the
crunchy like chopped up don't you man so
yeah as the texture this is like a whole
goodie package and number-10 corrido a
canal kurta from Lawson this next one is
my super super Japanese snack because
this wouldn't be complete without a
super super Japanese style it's another
like Japanese snack that no one ever
ever chooses to get I don't think anyone
would and it is a sweetened vinegar
squid cartilage that doesn't even sound
good so you can see here you have these
like little pieces of squid in fact that
you would think that they were dried but
they're soaked in like a sweet vinegar
sauce yeah we got 20 in the chamber so
let's try the first one
mm-hmm it's sweet it has that sourness
to it oh it's such an interesting
texture it's almost like a rubbery
texture cuz of the sweetened vinegar you
just want to like keep on eating more
and more it would be like another snack
perfect for drinking beer to sit around
with your friends and like hanging out
and you can have just a packet of this
or a tray of this just sitting on the
table
have your chopsticks out and go into
town I usually finish this like hold an
entire bag in one city I'll be in front
of the computer and I'll just eat this
whole entire thing so you're not gonna
try this like no one's gonna try this
unless someone says it's good and I'm
telling you it's good it is an acquired
taste but it's just so nice alright so
