convenience stores
Japan sets the bar for convenience store excellence pretty high, but this one clears it with ease.
Lawson branch purposely makes its sign harder to read for the benefit of some special baby visitors.
Lawson’s bite-sized chicken snack is loved across Japan, but can that love stretch around the globe?
Combos including sweet beans & chili powder, chocolate and potato make Mr. Sato wonder if he’s just getting too old for this.
Chili peppers, pickled ginger, and potato do battle with anko, mayo and chocolate inside these seemingly hard-to-stomach combos.
Gourmet chocolatier is selling its mouthwatering sakura/matcha combo where ordinary people go to satisfy their sweet tooth.
We taste-test a revolution in potato chips, and realize that something important has been missing all along.
Oh, and 29-year-old Famichiki Senpai is also an anthropomorphic piece of fried chicken with beefy human arms.
Sure, the convenience store-exclusive tastes great, but what’s even better is the surprise at the register.
