Japanese Space Food
Fetching food for lunch at the combini is always a lot of fun. I don’t think I’ve ever stepped in a combini without buying something new to eat or to drink !

No Food Shortages
Glad to report that convenience store in Japan are getting their daily supply of fresh food. Although it is true that it was difficult to find a sandwich, bread or onigiri yesterday evening in Tokyo, saying that there are shortages of food or that Tokyo is panicking is a lie. So to the CNN and ...

えだまめ
Going to the combini is always an adventure and I rarely come back without something new to try. Last week I found some edamame (えだまめ). Not as bas as I thought it would be and only 90kCal (the financier I often buy is around 250kCal).
-
Dessert Drink
Look what I found at the combini : tapioca coconut milk. Love it… It’s ironic to think that in one japanese combini, the choice of food and drinks offered is larger than in an entire Finnish supermarket (had been living in Finland for 5 years).

Apple Nouveau by Kirin
Always something new to eat or drink at the combini ! Apple Nouveau from Kirin is sparking apple tea. Not too bad, but not too good either ;-)
-
Red Ginger by Suntory
Always something new to eat or drink at the combini ! Red Ginger from Suntory is red ginger ale. Nothing too exceptional and still far from the strong and spicy taste of real ginger ale.
-
Suntory All-Free
Suntory All-Free : no alcohol, no calories. Blatant demonstration that beer needs both to be good! This should not be sold together with beer ;-)
-
Pepsi Mont-Blanc
Looks bad but was told it was good… I think it just tastes how it looks ! ;-)

Combini
One thing to love about Japan: the combinis ! Combini is the Japanese term for convenience store. Often open 24h a day and 7 days a week, they are the answer to whatever you need at anytime of the day… especially food and drinks ;-)

Sapporo Family
Another day off in Japan this week – Cheers ! :D
-
Autumn Beer
Japanese brewries regularly come up with limited editions to boost sales. This is the Autumn Beer from Kirin, “rich taste of autumn” – nothing exceptional if you ask me.
-
Tetsu-wan Teeth Project
Tetsu-wan Teeth Project : POs-Ca 歯のためのガム – for the benefit of the teeth. Another disappointment: the advertised super strong mint is not super strong at all! Now, can you recognise the face on the package?

Pepsi Baobab
あまりおいしくない、tasteless… Next !

Cupmen
Waiting for your instant noodles by h-concept.
-
Chocolat Brewery
Chocolat brewery is made from roasted malt and cacao, having the characteristic of aromatic chocolate flavour and bitter taste. Quite close to a Guinness if you ask me!
-
Sparkling Chocolate
New combination of soda and chocolate flavour. Reminds me of the mix of Coke and Benco I did when I was a kid.
-
Ukon no Chikara
To drink before drinking. May the strength of Chikara help you for the Bonenkai series!
-
Pepsi Shiso
Japanese Refreshing Flavor Not as bad as I thought it would be…
-
Grape Jelly Drink
Another find at the combini :-)
