Japanese Convenience Store Food, June 2022

Yowanai Lemon-do, the alcohol-free one

Combini 202206

They’ve recreated the taste of a lemon sour really well.

McDonald’s Big Mac

Combini 202206

Hadn’t had one in ages, and it hit the spot.

The Korean food corner at AEON

Combini 202206

Feeling a swell of national pride…

Large-size Garlic Tomato Pasta

Combini 202206

Apparently it got famous after Hikakin said it was good. I tried it, and the taste really isn’t bad.

Gateau au Chocolat, bursting with raspberry

Combini 202206

Pierre Herme feels like he does a few too many collaborations, but this one works – the chocolate and the raspberry go together beautifully.

Premium Ghana Chocolat Truffe Pistache

Combini 202206

Pistachio sweets are suddenly everywhere, so I gave this one a go. Quite sweet, but tasty.

Taberu Bokujo Cone

Combini 202206

Even a cone like this had a rich milky flavour and was delicious. Especially good on a hot day.

BTS characters – TinyTAN…

Combini 202206

Another swell of national pride…

Otsumami Edamariko, smoked cheese flavour

Combini 202206

This one wasn’t great.

Suntory All-Free

Combini 202206

A bit weak…

Cup Noodle Beef-Bone Gomtang

Combini 202206

This isn’t the Korean gomtang flavour, it’s the Japanese idea of gomtang… a completely different style. Don’t be fooled just because it’s called gomtang.

Honey Butter Chips

Combini 202206

And there goes the national pride again… AEON had them stacked everywhere.

Bourbon Petit Prime Almond Cheese

Combini 202206

This series tastes good, but they don’t sell it just anywhere. When I spot it, I tend to grab some.

Inside it looks like this

Combini 202206

For the price the taste is great, but even with 12 in the pack they vanish in seconds…
