After Setsubun, Spring starts according to the calendar. It is still too cold in Tokyo, so you might want to try some of these hot drinks. In Japan, on Valentine’s Day the women present chocolates to the men, rather than the [...]

After the snow we had in Tokyo last Monday, you might be tempted to stock up on some goods at the Conbini and stay at home with “Nama-cha Panda” instead. Matcha and Matcha Latte. It’s tasty. Have a break with coffee. [...]

It is getting cold recently, and Lawson has started a Korean food fare to help us fight off the winter months. It snowed last friday for the first time this year. Some of these goods might help out. Can you guess why the ogre face [...]

A little bit of time since the last post. I will try and keep up from now on.

An interesting selection this week mainly from Natural Lawson

A wide selection here from yoghurts to potato chips and also some sodas. Enjoy your Conbini Monday. I have set this up on Facebook recently as well for those who want to view at http://facebook.com/conbinimonday How was your Conbini [...]

Forgot to put these up yesterday. The Golden Week holiday made me forget it was a Monday and not a weekend.

The lights might be dimmed in most stores, but the food is still looking good. Lots of interesting items this week. Enjoy.

I think I have missed a few weeks, but here are some items from my recent trip to HuisTen Bosch in Kyushu. As you can see ramen is the main event. Are you a conbini ramen fan?
-
Quite a few new drinks out for the winter months. Plenty of vitamin C and other combination mixed in with some straight up sugar drinks.
-
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!
-
Another week with some produce from conbini’s outside of Tokyo. Most of the shots here were either from a Conbini in Kanawa-shi, Ishikawa-ken, or a service area conbini on the way from Shirakawago to Kanazawa. The goat was from [...]

A short Conbini Monday this week due to the Public Holiday and lots of other activity going on, but the selections are pretty interesting. See if you can find any of these in your local store.

With the Site down until yesterday due to hackers getting in and drinking all the beer, I have didn’t get chance to put up the latest conbini monday article. Here are all of the pictures I took at conbini stores while I was away [...]

A couple of items from a Natural Lawson for this week with lots of Sake thrown in for fun. It was raining in Tokyo today, but its always sunshine at the local conbini. I started my day with a cup of hot tea and an egg muffin at Natural [...]

Lots of chocolate on offer right now at the local conbini. The summer melting weather must almost be over. What are you eating this Conbini Monday?
-
It has been quite a few weeks since the last Conbini Monday. Looks like some of you have been getting hungry and asking me when we are going to get back in the conbini mode again. Here are a few chocolate snacks to keep you going for [...]

Had a few problems with the server yesterday, which required the data center installing new ram chips. Looks like the traffic has been eating through the ram and burning a whole in the motherboard. New ram installed now so I hope we [...]

It seems difficult to go into the convenience store and not find something new. Every week there is a new product release from most of the familiar brand names. There is new coffee, new purin, new sweets and plenty of new crackers. It [...]

Chibi Maruko chan has center stage at Lawson right now, with a big ‘Nostalgia’ promotion. Time to get down to your local conbini and pick up some old time favorite treats.

After being back in Australia for 10 days, it was nice to arrive home last night in Tokyo and go straight to the conbini to pick up a couple of onigiri and a bottle of Pocari Sweat. Here are some snacks that had popped up in my local [...]
-
There is a definite Ujicha theme at the moment. When i stayed in Kyoto on my first trip to Japan, I remember drinking Ujicha and really enjoying it. Good to see it in the conbini’s at the moment.
-
This week’s Conbini Monday features a Happy Lawson store from Yamashita Park, Yokohama. As Golden Week has started in Japan, many stores are not stocking a full range of goods and new products are thin. This Happy Lawson store [...]

I was carrying 2 other bags when I took the photos this week and so my phone camera did not remain as steady as normal. I hope you can make out the pictures well enough to at least see what is on offer. The weather is picking up now [...]

It looks like Rilakkuma is back in force this week at Lawson. Not only has Lawson got a line up of breads with Rilakkuma displayed on, but other brands have now started to see the Rilakkuma value and are buddying up fast. There was a [...]
