It was a cold today in Tokyo today, and at night the rain turned to snow. I doubt it will settle and be there tomorrow, but it certainly made the evening colder than normal.
My visit to the conbini was a late one today, due to some work commitments and the weather getting colder. I kept waiting for it to warm up before I stepped outside ^_^. Do you normally go out in all weather or prefer to wait for a time in the day when its warmer?
This week, Monday is a holiday in Japan, so for all those who normally have their Conbini Monday on the first day back at work, you will have to wait until...
Lots of items this week after missing a few conbini monday’s. Some of these goodies are from convenience stores when I visited Kyoto. Enjoy! Share...
I have about 7 convenience stores all within 3 minutes walk of my house. The Lawson is about 10 seconds away (too close to avoid visiting anytime of the day)...
An interesting selection this week mainly from Natural Lawson

Are convenience stores in your part of the world always changing their items, or do they pretty much stock the same things all year round. One of the reasons I...
The snacks keep coming this week, but as we get towards the warmer weather there is a definite ‘sakura in pink’ theme starting to develop. Have you...

Wantan noodles are huge in Malaysia. I’m sure that product would be a hit if they have it over here. I would definitely get one of those.
Maybe they should start sending the ace cook pig over there 🙂
lol, lucky sushi..
The drinks are my favourite part of the conbini – so many choices! I just want to grab one of almost everything (except the plain milk – おいしい牛乳??? おいしくないよ!). I could go some of that strawberry milk right now… though I’m confused as to why they put scoops of ice cream on the packaging. False advertising, methinks.
So many great drinks. Another good reason to visit the conbini 🙂
I would be willing to brave the elements to taste that custard! It is going to be about 32 deg C in Melbourne today so I will think of all those in Japan while I am walking in the sun. There is something magical about snow though and unfortunately it very rarely snows around the city and suburbs here.
The ichigo milk drink toward the top totally looks like it says “Famine Cafe” in English on it.
close, I think it is “Famima Cafe”, short for Family Mart Cafe 🙂
RT @tweetmeme Conbini Monday Wk39, Japan Conbini Monday http://bit.ly/aZZ7wp Sushi is not really sold in our conbinis in my neck of the woods. Just the regular sandwiches,salads and fruit things. But there is an endless supply of drinks, soda, alcholic beverages,milk products and juices.The 7-11 in my neighborhood didn’t even advertise the Domo-kun drink special properly. Were supposed to have character straws, nope just some metal type, generic straw, was very lame. Only thing decent was the cup. Wish our conbinis could be more like yours. Always a great variety.
I would normally stay in if the weather was bad, but if you got to go out, you just gotta go no matter what.
No domo-kun? What is the world coming to. Take care and stay warm 🙂
In Holland the weather has been a massive amounts of snow for the last few weeks; usually resulting in very slippery pedestrian roads when the snow gets crushed by people walking on it all day under freezing temperatures; so like Whipcracker said.. when you gots to go, you gots to go 🙂
Aside from that the Wantan from ace cook looks cute 🙂
There’s no marukaburi sushi in regular conbini’s over here, our regular conbini’s have those tiny sushi’s , like their 1/3 the size of a normal roll ? I hate those personally, and their always made somewhere else than the conbini itself so freezed/cooled for at least a day before you eat it.
There’s a small city just outside of Amsterdam called Amstelveen, houses the majority of the Japanese people living here in this country, i’m sure if I walk around there I can find marukaburi sushi tough 🙂
frozen sushi does not sound right 🙂 You need to come to Tokyo and enjoy a good meal.
I’d rather wait till weather is good.
Im amazed by the empty shelves…very unorganised!!!
Great photos as usual
Thanks. Yes, the empty shelves surprised me. When I went back the next day the shelves were full of new products. Maybe it should be Conbini Tuesday to catch the full shelves 😉
Just wondering what kind of tech stuff does the conbini’s there have. Can you capture some pictures on the next conbini monday.
sure. Do you mean the cash register machines, ATMs, ticket machines etc or stuff they sell? They don’t sell much tech stuff but there are a few machines in store for customers to use. In fact, I was going to try and explain about the new machines they are trying out in Shibuya convenience stores for allowing people to get local records, like birth records, proof of identity etc. Looks like the City Hall folk have worked out its more convenience to take the services to where the people are. 🙂 great idea.
the conbini’s here and there are really different i’m imagining. Hmm maybe I’ll do a post on the circle K I always go. by the way what conbini do you cover?.
those new machine sounds interesting, I wonder whats next for the conbinis.
