Conbini Monday Wk34

Pocky is a long time favorite for many and for good reason. Here are some latest offerings of the more traditional type. On the right, the package says these are the thinnest pocky ever made.

Some of the convenience stores in my area are planning to close over the New Year period. They are no longer making bentos until after New Year and some stock is looking very low. Are conbini’s closed in your area for the break?

Cheetos and Tirol combine to make some corn snacks here that are said to be coffee nougat flavor. I will wait to here from others what these taste like before trying.

Fried chicken chips. Could be interesting. I like the package design on these. Makes you wonder what is really inside.

Enough sweets and crackers here to keep you busy for a while.

Hmm, I have seen almost the same stuff but in other forms and flavors when I went in Brazil. Cheetos, chicken chips, cream soup etc. I was amazed by the variety of the food in the shops in there. I would like a Tarako please. What I like at the Japanese food (because I didnt had the chance to taste any until now haha) are the colorful packages which invites u to buy. Great site 🙂

RT @tweetmeme Conbini Monday Wk34, Japan Conbini Monday | Shibuya246 http://bit.ly/7jM3sa Always a great offering of different snacks. All the Yummies for Your Tummies 🙂 Those roasted almond snacks look tasty. Just how many flavors of Pocky are there?
Will you try to do a Live streaming Conbini video. Hopefully they’ll let you do that. You could tell them that they would be getting exposure to the world for ther store. What do you think? The conbinis around here don’t usually close on the holidays especially the 7-11’s. Alot of the gas stations around here have small convienence stores attached to them. And you know that people always need gas and goodies. 🙂
