Japanese Konbini Food, July 2023

I really did nothing but hit convenience stores, so I have way too much to post..

Sonomanma Amanatsu

Combini 202307.

Sweet and tart like orange peel, and delicious.

Kaju Gummy, watermelon flavor

Combini 202307.

It says 100% watermelon juice, so I wondered what it would taste like.. and it isn’t all that good. Rather than watermelon it just tastes like sugar jelly, and the color is yellow, so it doesn’t even look appetizing..

Hong Kong Banjeom spicy jjamppong

Combini 202307.

It was unexpectedly delicious. Even though it’s a spicy jjamppong it isn’t that hot, the pork and squid flavors are deep, and the noodles were thick and chewy. You really can taste the flavor of the real thing.. If they served it like this in Korea it probably wouldn’t sell, since it isn’t spicy.. There are times when it’s better to eat it in Japan.

Lemon monaka

Combini 202307.

Nice and refreshing

Calbee Zeppin Kappa Ebisen

Combini 202307.

I stumbled on it at the supermarket. It tastes like kappa ebisen dusted with smoked chili powder and salt. Apparently 97% of beer lovers approved of the flavor — I have no idea where that statistic came from, but it’s a fact that the salt and the sharp little kick make it good with beer.. It’s a kappa ebisen a level up in quality, built properly to drink with.

Melon soda

Combini 202307.

An ordinary flavor, but a fine thing to drink in summer.

Moldex Camo Plugs earplugs

Combini 202307.

Going about your life you get exposed to noise in a surprising number of situations (even if you never set foot in a club..) — walking past a construction site, running along a road, putting air in your tires.. Having a pair of these definitely helps keep your ears healthy.. Noise itself is a source of stress, so it’s worth carrying them all the time.. I’ve tested all kinds of earplugs, Moldex ones included, and these seem like the safest bet..

Tsubu-an bun with chestnut

Combini 202307.

This one’s good too.

Zeppin Kappa Ebisen, salt and wasabi flavor

Combini 202307.

This one is a bit meh compared to the last one.

Ika-ten, Setouchi lemon flavor

Combini 202307.

Fried snacks are always going to be heavy, but the lemon makes the flavor clean. It seems good as a drinking snack too.

Toki apple cidre

Combini 202307.

It’s a limited-edition apple cider, and I think it just went down easily.

Sakura shrimp Kappa Ebisen

Combini 202307.

It was just okay.

Royce’ chocolate for whisky

Combini 202307.

They were selling something unusual, so I bought it to try.

The contents

Combini 202307.

Raspberry pistachio, 62% cacao, cacao nibs, brown sugar macadamia. An assortment of chocolates, and they went nicely with whisky. I’d have liked to get more of them if I could.

Orange peel chocolat

Combini 202307.

Orange peel is usually expensive, but Chateraise sells it pretty cheaply. For the price I was very satisfied.

Orange cake and lemon cake

Combini 202307.

Desserts from Chateraise.

Orange cake

Combini 202307.

It’s coated on the outside, and the inside is similar to a financier. Tasty.
