konbini
Family Mart turns tradition on its head with a new take on two well-known Japanese sweets.
Japanese convenience store chain teams up with esteemed restaurants for a new type of onigiri.
We put our taste buds to the test to determine our favorite konbini version of one of Japan’s most popular curries.
We’re probably the only ones who are crazy enough to try this Kaiji spinoff meal at home–though we don’t recommend it for anyone else.
