great camera action guys so this is this is basically another convenience store a
taste test yeah long slash whatever you want to call it we are completing the
trifecta of places neon so far if you have eaten food from 7-eleven Family
Mart and tonight Lawson wanted a little awesome and you
know what's special about Lawson is that was the very first place we ate at when
we came to Japan it was yes there was one jolly right
corner from her building yeah I remember we went in there at like 1:00 in the
morning reading me food and cups of noodles yeah you know what the funniest
thing I think I said he was like and I was like I was wondering I'm like is
that it I wonder if that's the only Lawson I don't know if there's anymore
anyway today we are having dinner for our
convenience store meal so we tried to pick up ten items I believe yeah there's
ten or eleven I can't really oh and there is dessert in the fridge we need
to try and remember that yes that was just like the last video yeah we almost
forgot okay so for the mains I got a cold noodle thing that apparently comes
with a broth yeah and like a whole bunch of toppings here we have something
similar to that to like a solid noodle salad to share another noodle salad this
I believe is a cheese shrimp something baked I have no idea what's underneath
that cheese yeah I've no idea under dear ah I've no idea what's under
that cheese guys and my tongue is twisted at the woman okay and we also
got little snacks yeah this is dried squid vinegar flavor vinegar flavor yeah
this and this one's interesting too it also hasn't labeled so guys this one is
she's sandwiched with cod garlic and herb flavor and it says right at the
bottom in English okay I don't know how that it's a very crude translation I got
some pumpkin oh yeah a prepackaged pumpkin simmered pumpkin
they say vacuum vacuum sealed yeah oh and this this one was funny I ended up
getting this because of the label guys it's it's pretty funny
look at this looks like an angry angry man it looks like me when I'm hungry
no but yo the flavor yeah give us a flavor cracker chips I believe and then
I know drinks when you explain that drink handles talked about this one it
is called Mitsui a cider yeah whatever that means it looks like a clear
physique is this cider at least in Korea and I'm not sure if it's the same in
Japan because we haven't had a cider in Japan yet but if it is like the ones in
Korea it's basically like a 7-eleven or sprite I don't know if you remember that
did you ever have a chills on that idea 7i it's like a 700 700 700 a guy's wine
from Europe and South America it's becoming a bit of a thing in Japan you
find it in all the convenience stores and grocery stores and the best value by
at least in my opinion because Chile makes really good red wine that is a
yeah like you can piss use up those links from Chile you can pick them up
for like between 600 and 400 yen some on sale so you're talking like under six US
dollars to three something US dollars yes so we haven't had sake yet but we
have plenty of wine yeah we only tried sake there's a couple times where we
rode in restaurants but it's just like a like a complementary we haven't actually
bought a nice really bad in there yeah to do that but yes we wanted to show you
that you can get international wine at a convenience store so there you go all
right blood global so while Sam tours I'm
going to start assembling my cold noodle soup you know we have two of those I
might help you in the other one I'm not convinced this it's like a liquidy jelly
thing is this like wha let's hope it's refreshing
yeah keep the one here oh gosh I'm gonna you know the one thing I'll miss about
this place the most is this Oh Tammy floor and this little desk that oh wow
it's interesting huh that's a lot of liquid a lot of liquid now it's like a
soup I feel like there's a little bit dripping on my knee and how do we get
this off that's like oh there we go okay like
this yeah so they like to separate the ingredients so it won't get soggy while
it's sitting on the shelf guys this looks like might be a peanut
sauce itself well would be sown anything that would be so nice if it was a peanut
sauce that would make my day okay so somebody for my little dish I have a
hard-boiled egg sure looks like some sweet and spicy sauce chives cucumber
kimchi fermented cabbage and a little bit of pork fatty pork with sesame seeds
oh and just to let you know I smelled that it's definitely a sesame peanut
sauce so I feel that harkens to like tile tie or kind of Indonesian
ingredients that looks like spicy pork yeah so you just do the one we picked up
50 solid yeah all right so I've stirred through this salad around the Southeast
Asian inspired solid is it mm-hmm Oh - hmm - nerdy stuff submits off oh my god
and then ice cold noodles mmm so refreshing I'm really liking mine not to
switch in a moment okay let's do it now before we go real-time swap you just
look your noodles on me oh so uh you know why guys this is this is how we
really are the cameras rolling and we're spilling food well sound keeps eating
mmm I'm gonna go grab like some napkins or something your this is super
refreshing Wow oh it's not as bad as I thought it's just a little spill guys so
I have a bit more of this hmm I should show you some of the
ingredients and here we have up for the half of an 800 people really like that
huh I feel like the kimchi is ruined now like it literally of conversations Bowl
like flipped over and all the food like spring on them tell me Matt I'll try it
bring it bring it here do you like hair on it like what's that yeah I guess we
have enough food that we can we can eliminate the kimchi and a person like
this kimchi in the fridge from lunch well if you really need cheers to our
clumsiness Cheers salute that wine is good
mm-hmm what do you think full body caps app our favorite some really good I
don't he's almost tastes like glass noodles
I know these these like these are cold noodles in the summer time in Japan are
like essential we have it we just kind of good kind of discovered these a
little bit late in the game yeah Oldman recently that we have tried them
honestly I should have been eating this months ago sometime in June I need to
tell you about the best cold noodles in a second oh I'm gonna move on to the
baby too so my favorite corn noodles that we've had here in Japan so far are
from 7-eleven and basically it's like a cold spaghetti with a bit of salad like
some greens so a pesto a creamy pesto dressing chicken breast avocado
and not so refreshing so much so tasty enough that in fact I feel like we're
gonna do one more breakfast video and if that's available at the 7-eleven I won't
bring that for breakfast well I would great food I will break the
breakfast rules but it is so good that yesterday I had it for breakfast lunch
in there I was so excited about it because we have just discovered it yeah
let's go see what this cheesy bake is Oliver oh it's right safe it's rice
mostly rice underneath guys I was expecting petit it looks like there's a
cheese layer shrimp and then it looks like appears to be some herbs on top of
that cheese that's mmm oh man that's pretty good it's definitely carb heavy
like if you're hungry this would be a really good thing together cuz you got
all the carts from the rice and then you have the high calories from them
jeezum I've never had like a rice bake like a rice casserole like oh this would
make sense as pasta more potato like scalloped potatoes but it's not bad with
rice yeah I mean rice is really popular in Japan so nothing like substitute it
it's really good to be honest I would eat that again for sure
Wow do you like the cheese you about running out of time I feel like we've
had the good stuff now we have to move on to the weird snacks you chose okay so
let's move on cinnamon over here so will we will start with cheese sandwich with
called garlic and herb flavor which get a stick how's this a cheese sandwich
it's like a cheese stick the country's a little herby bits in there it smells
like that fake processed mmm white mozzarella you know what the more you
chew it it's got a bit of an aged taste to it but it does taste processed as
well like you would not confuse this firm European cheese bought at a local
market yes what's to restrain know what kind of like it I feel like this goes
really well with the wine that we got some it's like I'm not pretending just
that this is like really hard geeze or anything but like for a little
snack to go with the wine here it's okay this seems like the perfect cue to open
my drink that was not good yeah that's fine okay you did although you did all
the hard work you actually smells that smells like cherry coke no or like if it
is or legs really mean soda Choya chicka cherry cola it's clear in
color but it's like somewhere between cream soda and cherries so yeah I kind
of like it it's a bit refreshing it means it's definitely got an artificial
taste to it let's move on to the simmered pumpkin
mmm I grabbed this because I found the packaging really interesting it's like
vacuum sealed yeah and we had probably three or four shelves where you can get
different doc you sealed salads and they had like potato salad macaroni salad ham
salad um that's cool noodle salads like just lots of different salads just kind
of a perfect for a big little side dish yeah look at the size of this yeah so
you basically just like rip the package open it in a bowl Simon what's good it's
like it's been steamed I also feel like yeah I feel like it hasn't I just could
be natural sweetness but I feel like it has a bit of a sauce on it too that's a
bit too preservative oh good though I don't know about you
guys I eat the skin it's very soft yeah this breaks apart I like that I would I
would I we get that again to move on to mr. hangry cracker man who likes his
kills the chips these are something in-between a cracker in each other mmm
no where's Parker that's believe that I couldn't that's exactly what they are
more tuning these they have a bit of them spicy yeah their taste
they're spicy and a little bit smoky but I wouldn't say they taste like yield at
all no how can you make I'm gonna get chipped isn't
all right you're gonna love this one oh I'm gonna pick one up for you I love
this stuff but this isn't Audrey's favorite look at this guy's you know
when I defend my family packages every once in a while with weird stuff and
once I sent them a squid package and then once I was back in Canada visiting
and like rummaging through the cover it's like probably a year and a half
later I found the squid package untouched yeah I've been like shoved in
the back and like hitting hidden behind bosses guys not surprised at all you're
in yeah that's not something you're from here your parents would probably be
willing to try this is delicious guys I can taste the vinegar done it's chewy
but it's not as chewy as I thought it would be I thought this would be so much
cheerier like I'd have to be chewing listen that vinegar strong yeah
those are the kind of food I'd like to have it like a baseball game or a movie
theater oh yeah good stuff I wouldn't say I was a fan it's like rubber and
flavored like vinegar basically I love it that's enough quiet place for most I
would imagine all right I feel like we've tried most of the snacky stuff but
I want to get back to the means mmm just a little bit more before we move on to
dessert yeah I feel like I haven't had a chance to enjoy this as your wife as
your wine situation my wine situation is great thank you how is your wine
situation you need a little no question since we've eaten at three different
convenience stores right now do you have a favorite in terms of the dishes they
serve or the quality of their food yeah it's a really good question
like if you're if you've been living or traveling in Japan it'd be really cool
to hear what's your favorite convenience store that question is for you oh oh
yeah but sure you guys let us know in the comments well I'm
curious to hear your tape okay here's the thing about the convenience stores
they vary by size depending on where they're located so I've seen some really
good 7-eleven some really good Lawson's and some really good Family Mart but on
the other hand I've seen some really small ones that aren't stopped like as
fully as a regular or a bigger size store so but if I had to narrow it down
mmm to one it's really close between losses in 7-eleven maybe I'm gonna go
with Lawson I believe yeah some of the biggest Lawson's I've been in had some
of the best selection like there was one Lawson that had like an insane selection
of ramen for instance but I think 7-eleven has a like more western-style
products Western foods so I think if you were craving something in particular you
might go to 7-eleven over Lawson mm-hmm if FamilyMart we just haven't been to as
often because I don't think there are as many here I got to see for me it's
7-eleven on top for sure yeah I just find that at least the one
that we go to it has a lot of variety and I find that even when we go at
different times of day they're constantly restocking the fridges yeah
so you always find new food well that was pretty good I wonder should we get
dessert all right you want to grab it closer all right I'm gonna grab a
mouthful before I take off here yeah
well I barely did any noodles oh no someone did those guys don't
so a funny story with dessert Sam was carrying the bag with all the groceries
and he got into the apartment he was so excited about air conditioning but he
just flipped the bag down and went about his day I feel like a half hour later or
45 minutes later he's like hey it's the ice cream in the fridge no because um
we're not sure of the state of the a3 so it's actually a mochi ice cream yeah so
it's like a sticky rice ball yeah but instead of being stuffed with like red
beans or fruit or whatever it has ice cream inside and I remember the first
time I tried this was in Malaysia we were out at a night market and kale I
think it was and there was a place that had ice cream mochi Oh remember that
it's so many different flavors very chocolate flavors amazing it was
delicious this one comes with two little mochi ice
cream things can pierce it with a little little as a piercing for utensil of
sorts whoo it's really soft oh my gosh it's probably soft because the ice
creams melted Oh mom you know let you certainly since I didn't refrigerate it
it might be kind of like creamy and sighing it is creamy it's melted it's
like soft-serve inside it oh that's good mmm imagine like soft-serve ice cream
you know mochi fish wow that's like really multi mm-hmm and
I did put it in the freezer section mm-hm
was it all long enough like I don't know if you guys can see but it's like so
malleable um it's a form shifter horan shifter it's a transformer
it's a transformer mochi ball isn't it good Wow it's really good we may have
enhanced it by melting it it's like halfway between ice cream and whipped
cream are you expecting I expect to be quite
frozen him mm-hmm for to be kind of like having a brain
freeze budding into it ah yeah because that's kind of like how we had it the
first time but we melted it Wow so I don't notice as well I also did also
totally unrelated but we have somehow ended up representing Argentina Peru and
Peru Angela here is his year
but I just wanted like a breezy company shirt Oh
anyway yeah we've done pretty well a little bit more to eat yeah but I don't
think we have a whole lot more to say no I don't think so
we want to enjoy the wine sure though yeah we hope you guys enjoyed this video
this is another example of the types of foods you can get at a convenience store
here in Japan yeah now you know what to eat let's raise our glass to you guys
cheers guys Sager thanks so much for watching that
do see you guys in the next video
