Lots of goodies for todays conbini monday. I almost forgot about it, since it is a holiday in Japan today. Lucky the convenience stores are all open no matter that everyone else gets the day off.
I went to Natural Lawson for a number of the products this week and also visited a Daily Yamazaki. It is good to be able to visit many different types of stores but still have the same Japanese conbini feel.

This looks like something that I would like. I love Kit Kat candy that I can get in the US. Wish that I could get the ones from Japan
My beloved weekly torture 🙂
Had a friend from japan to bring me cup noodles and other nissin stuff.
Unfortunately I gave too short a notice and she couldn’t make it to a conbini in time, and took what was in house.
I had things that made her laugh…
Doh!
Next time you can order some more ^^
I’ve been seeing Rilakkuma on everything lately. In fact, he was even on feminine hygiene products! :-p
Still havent worked out whether Rilakkuma is a male or female 🙂
A mix between a “chou à la crème” and a cookie ? Very interesting !
🙂
Sorta like a healthier food type products.

Conbini Monday Wk46, Japan Japan http://bit.ly/akV8Kg More new goodies to choose from. Is that a new store that Lawson has come out with? Good to see Rilakkuma back in the swing of things as far as product endorsements. But on feminine hygiene products, now that takes the cake lol :). Everything looks quite tempting, if I do say so. Have never eaten leaves before, what type do they use ad what type of leaf are they?
Couldn”t retreive your post from my RSS feed, but got it from Twitter. Is that because of that project your working on? I signed up to follow Hotoro 1.1.3 on FB you probably saw it. Just wish we could get those different types of Kit Kats over here. But no luck.
Have a great week. Try not to work so hard. Just stop and smell the roses.
RSS should be working. I havent changed anything on the settings recently. Let me know if you cant see other posts in future.
The hotaru project is a CMS platform but I am still going to keep running shibuya246 on wordpress for now. Too much work already put in here to suddenly change 🙂 I will be starting some new projects using HotaruCMS to show what it can do though.
Roses are not out here, but the sakura are starting to bloom. Maybe this week I might catch a few images. The weekend should be a good time. Thanks 🙂
The feeds are back up now. I was referring to the 1974 mac Davis song. will be good to see the new sakura blooms. Good luck w/the new project.
I just love conbini monday! It always makes me hungry haha. Is the Rilakkuma drink straight coffee, or does it have cream/sugar?
Hi Alan,
Just in catching up and doing some connection to your ever expanding list of sites.
Keep up the great work, see Ya.

Crysta
Thanks. Great to hear from you 🙂
A great Combini Monday as always. Mango yoghurt drink sounds good!
You can actually eat the leaves on the goodies? I always thought it was just for decorative purposes. Not sure if I would eat one though.
very tasty 🙂
Love the Rillakkuma milk carton.
sigh…jealous…………
We spent every morning at the local Natural Lawson on our last trip to Tokyo. It was great to be able to grab fresh fruit salad and bread rolls etc each morning to start the day. Prices were surprisingly cheap – approx. Â¥300 I think for a fruit salad with Kiwi fruit, pineapple and more.
