If its sweets you are looking for, then this week won’t disappoint. Put your main meal away and dig into a few of these filler upper snacks.
As always, there are plenty of drinks to help you wash down the tasty treats.
Ava round out the drink selection here with some cute promotion.
Merry Christmas at Lawson right now courtesy of Rilakkuma and friends.
What is your favorite from this week? Did you get anything yourself?

Sparkling tea … hmmm I wonder how it would taste like
haha great ! I was actually about to suggest the alcoholic drinks (but lacked time) and here you have Chi-hi already !
What is your favorite beer ? Mine is Asahi – anybody else here have any favorite Japanese beer or otherwise alcoholic drink ?
I have to say, the Pizza flavored calbee Jagariko looks great.
pssst…. how about talking about the various types of “shady magazines and manga” at Combini’s *wink nudge*
LOL. nice suggestion. beer and shady magazines. A few years ago I could have stood i the store and read them all. Now, the shady ones have a plastic wrap on them so you can’t see inside (Tokyo Metropolitan ordinance), and many stores have put up signs saying no standing and reading unless you are buying. Shame really. Some things were better the old way 😉
I’d be tempted to try that sparkling tea – might actually be alright. Anyone tried it?
I wonder if “sparkling” is going to be the next fad. You saw sparking tea, I sampled a “sparkling strawberry” KitKat. That’d be pretty interesting, wouldn’t it? Personally, I’d buy a “sparkling” onigiri if they managed it. 😉
I noted that the Jaga Rico is 179 yen! That seems very overpriced for the volume.
sparkling onigiri? love the idea. you could make a fortune 🙂
I like to drink the Suntory whisky and water in a can. I’m drinking some as I type this. I’m also planning to snap up a choccobo Final Fantasy XIII can before I return to London. But the thing I REALLY want to know is where all the free gifts have gone that used to hang from bottles and coffee cans? I found one Sencha Panda Sensei on a rubber duck mascot on a Kirin Sencha bottle but that’s it. I’ve tried all the combini outlets in Shinjuku almost.
It does look like there are not many gifts around right now. They might be seasonal and come back in the New Year. lets hope so. Thanks for joining us 🙂
I didn’t have more luck than you back in October when I was in Tokyo. The only free gifts I saw packaged with drinks were some mascots for a green tea, and tiny cars (replicas of Tamiya R/C buggies from the 80’s) with cans of coffee.
Ooh! I love Crunky! Hope that they have the strawberry cheese tart flavor over here. I’ll definitely try it. And the Uchi Cafe eclair looks really really good! I’m feeling hungry already haha.
RT @Shibuya246: Conbini Monday Wk32, Japan Conbini Monday | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/BWYd Ahh Rilakkuma and Christmas goodies. At Lawsons of course. Is that UCC coffee a 3/pk or a 6/pk? Have only had 1 can before, and it was bought at the Mitsukoshi store at Disney World. in Orlando. It really tasted good. 🙂 I noticed the nabisco container next to the calbee one, is that a Chips Ahoy cookie container? Just how dry tasting is -196C? Everything in this article is making me very hungry and thirsty at the moment, knew I should have not skipped breakfast. 🙁 I can taste that eclair now nom,nom,nom…
Well have a great week. 🙂
I think its a 3pk, but can’t remember. sorry. The Nabisco one is called “chip star”, a bit like Pringles but slightly softer 🙂 Have a good week.
I would pay you to ship me some of that stuff…I so miss Lawson’s!
I would be happy to package some things up and send them if you want? What’s on your wish list?
Where do I start?
I may just take you up on the offer to get my Pocky fix! Its impossible to get in Australia and my wife thinks I’m mad for obsessing about it! (Have tried a Korean knockoff my local Asian store stocks but its nothing like the real thing!)
Im not a sweet/lollies/candy type of person but I just feel in love with Japanese Confectionery! (esp. Pocky and Crunky- was a staple for our train trips, esp. the Shinkansen….spent many hours on the Bullet Train with Pocky to keep me company!)
Maybe in the New Year we can work something out via Paypal though Im not sure how much it would cost! (postage and actually buying-what to get!!!…would have to trust your tastes!)
postage from Japan overseas is not so expensive if you don’t want to insure the items. I have sent a few Rilakkuma items and other goods for under YEN 1,000 ($10) postage cost.
mmmmm…will get back to you but start thinking about a mixture of pocky types for me!! (and some crunky….).
based on the prices above, would be willing to spend between AU$30-40 dollars (YEN 25,000-30,000??) on ‘stuff’+postage+a thankyou gift for yourself as Im sure you can use some more Rilakkuma!!) (maybe AU$60-70 in total??) which should get me 10-12 boxes of pocky+ a some boxes of crunky! (conversion rates kind of factored in…)
Will wait until new year and then contact you!
Then I can spoil my daughter!
mmm..where do I start?
Will leave the choice of Pocky up to you of course!
Based on prices above, would spend about AU30-40/YEN 25,000-30,000 to get 10-13 boxes of Pocky plus some crunky.
Factor in postage+ a small gift for you as Im sure you can use some more Rilakkuma(!!!), Im guessing AU$65-75 should hopefully cover it!
Will get back to you in the New Year if that’s OK? (kind of distracted atm with a new baby on the way)
Seriously, you should hone in on J-Lists action here!!
My Rilakkuna that was given to me by the staff at one of the Lawson’s in Kyoto!

Thanks,

I would totally pay you too for some of these items. Mostly rillakuma! You should sell on ebay or something you would be busy with sales. lol
Might need some Rilakkuma helpers for this project 🙂

Wish I could get in on this, but no extra money to go around 🙁 You know how much of a fan I am of Rilakkuma I am. 🙂
sorry about the double post there…thought the first one didnt go through!
Pocky !! Pocky !! can by Pocky in the local supermarket – was a bit of surprise when I saw it, thought I was dreaming.
