7-Eleven
Ippudo’s new “pollack roe-flavored pickled mustard greens cup rice” recently landed on shelves at 7-Eleven Japan.
The new containers have already been rolled out at store locations in Japan’s northernmost prefecture Hokkaido.
The question is, do we want a convenience store to sell luxury food at a reasonable price?
This is a popular food in the city of Hachinohe, but is it as good as its popularity warrants?
For those combini runs where you want something healthier than melon bread and Asahi Super Dry.
Only available when a new branch opens, the contents are sure to please lovers of Japanese convenience stores!
Cup Noodle maker tells us upfront that this is going to be a hassle, but is it worth the time and energy?
And because it’s a Japanese convenience store, our list has everything from desserts to fish.
Dispute has been going on for more than three years, has led to two 7-Elvenes in same parking lot.
