Family mart
There’s one rice ball that everyone chooses at Lawson, 7-Eleven, Mini Stop and Family Mart in Japan.
In addition to selling delectable cat-themed sweets, the convenience store chain wants to increase cat adoptions and pet food donations.
Japan’s first permanent cinema in an airport is called the Family Mart Lovers Theatre…but why?
Convenience store chain wants us to bite into paw pads and cat tails in this limited-edition 17-piece collection.
Crane games are big hits with foreign tourists and Japanese kids, so Family Mart is happy to have them come in and play.
Family Mart’s festival of fried foods also includes fried chicken-themed accessories, clothing items, and luggage.
Even if you can take these clothes out of Family Mart, but you can’t take the Family Mart out of these clothes.
Japan-exclusive Starbucks drink will transport you to Kyoto… then Seattle, if you’re lucky.
