I hardly visited any restaurants because of COVID, so there are a lot of convenience store food photos here..

Maritozzo

I just grabbed it at a convenience store, and although it looks like a mountain of cream it’s actually pretty light, so it goes down easily.. It was a huge trend in Japan, and I suspect that’s partly because it looks so pretty. Booms like this never last long, though.

Aojiso Dressing-Style Wakame Soba

The shiso aroma is stronger than I expected, so it’s quite decent

Ginza Rengatei Curry Senbei

Pretty ordinary..

Nippon no Kajitsu Throat Lozenges

Japan has so many kinds of throat lozenges that picking one is half the fun.

Saba Tatsuta in Sweet Vinegar Ankake

This sort of thing is popular lately: you don’t even open the pouch, you just stand it up in the microwave and you’re done. Easy to eat and it tastes good..

Aunt Stella’s Cookie Sandwich Ice Cream

Aunt Stella’s is a famous cookie brand, and this came out pretty tasty. The cookie is softer than a cookie has any right to be, but that actually works well with the ice cream.

Potato Chips, Nori-Shio Butter

I used to think plain salted potato chips were the best, but these days nori tastes better to me..

Cheese Dessert, White Peach

Cheese Dessert never misses.

Rich Cheese Kamaboko

Basically Korea’s Cheonhajangsa cheese sausage, I’d say..

Nashi (Pear) Throat Lozenges

This one is perfectly fine too.

Potato to Ryori (Demi-Glace Hamburg)..

Not all that impressive, honestly..

Additive-Free Potato Chips, Nori-Shio

Well, they’re all good..

Kin no Kajitsu, Golden Fruit Candy

Decent enough.

Tsukemen Do Rich Tonkotsu-Gyokai Ramen

It’s a ramen Lawson made together with Tsukemen Do, a ramen shop in Kameari. It tastes far more legit than it looks. The level of konbini ramen is seriously high.

Kuroge Wagyu (Premium Hand Roll)

A luxury lineup, and the price is a bit steep, but it tastes good.

Nikuniku! Sweet and Sour Pork with Black Vinegar

I bought this series often because it’s so easy to prepare, and they all clear the bar comfortably. That said, with something like sweet and sour pork there’s no avoiding the fried bits going soggy.

Otona no Jagarico, Mustard Bacon

It’s Jagarico’s take on a drinking snack, and it’s pretty good.

This is Va-kauke, the Ca va? olive-oil-marinade flavor.

It’s a snack with mackerel in it, but it doesn’t quite live up to the original..

Cheese Dessert, Rum Raisin

This one’s good as well.

Levain Prime Sand, Garlic & Herb

Yamazaki’s Levain is an orthodox cookie, but every now and then they put out a premium sandwich version. It went nicely with a drink.

Jujutsu Kaisen High-Vitamin-C Throat Lozenges

Jujutsu Kaisen was hugely popular around this time.. But I don’t see Gojo Satoru anywhere..

FamilyMart Mala Peanuts

Looks like it’s been a bestseller lately. To a Korean palate it isn’t all that spicy, and even the bits that look like chili peppers are salty and crunchy, so they’re great with a drink.

Kono Aji Yamitsuki

They took dried fish and turned it straight into a product, and it’s excellent with a drink.

Shio Cider..

It tastes exactly as odd as you’d imagine.. I found myself wondering why I bought it..

Black Truffle Steak Flavor

Not really worth going out of your way for..

Ghana chocolate and Kappa Ebisen collab

Hmm.. it tastes exactly the way you’d think..

Zaku Nasu

A little greasy, but it seems fine as a drinking snack.
