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 tomorrow to stock up on snacks.
As with last week, there were plenty of new drinks out at the stores this week. Here is a quick glimpse.
What are you having for your Conbini Monday this week?
I drank the vinegar milk drink the other day and put a blog post about it here! http://www.tattoo-tokyo.com/2009/11/crazy-drinks-from-tokyo/ Won’t be buying that one again! haha
nice one 🙂 we have been warned!
RT @Shibuya246: Conbini Monday Wk29, Japan Conbini Monday | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/AWMa No conbini purchase today. Don’t think I could handle vinegar and milk combined. But I’ve never had a Pocari Sweat before to judge properly. Didn’t know ginger ale could have a dry taste, only in Japan right? And that sure is alot of years producing cocoa products, sorta like Hersheys’ over here in the states, or even like Nestles. The old CM line over here for nestles over here was “N E S T L E S nestles makes the very best Chocalate.” That’s the one I remember growing up. 🙂
Those other snacks look great also, could you send some my way?
Gotta work on getting Rilakkuma a marketing deal w/either Lawson or Family Mart.
Well have a great week! 🙂

I really want to try this, I got interested in vinegar drinks last time I was in Japan^^
There are so many interesting vinegar drinks recently its hard to keep up 😉
I tried the vinegar milk – it wasn’t nearly as bad as expected! Kind of like Calpis, but a little less sweet and a little more grapefruity. Was looking for the Soup Cafe cups this morning at an AMPM and Lawsons, with no luck. (Had blogged about the ads for them.)
I love Combini Monday! Convenience stores are definitely one of the joys (and, sometimes, headscratchers) of living in Japan.
This is a bit late for a reply, but yeah, I tried the Meiji big chocolate pudding when I was in Japan. And I already have a hard time remembering it, so I guess it was OK, but nothing special.
I did keep the lid, though. Maybe I’ll put it in the photo album.
🙂 kept the lid. must have been half-ok. do you have a flickr account?
