Konbini Food, Early 2021 x Lazy Blog.

A bit of everything, gathered up into one post.

Tsubu uni

The uni content isn’t all that high, but it worked fine as a snack with a drink.

Ankimo

Making this at home is a huge hassle, and yet here it is being sold in bulk. As you can tell from the font, it’s made in China. Not bad at all, really.

Donbei Tori Nanban Soba

In Japan there’s a custom of eating soba every January 1st.. the way we eat tteokguk back home.. Anyway, this is what I settled on this year. The taste is fine, but that’s not the point — Riho Yoshioka is wearing fox ears, so there was no way not to buy it.

Asari smoked baby clams in oil

Perfectly decent as something to nibble on with a drink.

Throat lozenges

Pink grapefruit flavor.

Kimchi Ramen with 40 Billion Lactic Acid Bacteria

It was edible enough..

Levain Prime Sandwich, Mascarpone

Crisp cookies with strawberry cream in between — it tasted like a very upmarket Crown Sando.

Golden Ginger Honey Throat Lozenges

Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto Cheese no Ichigeki

The cheese meant I could eat it without it being all that spicy.

Hakata Motsunabe Arizuki

It was packed with dried cabbage and tripe, so it really did feel like eating motsunabe. You have to give Japan credit for its cup noodle technology.

The noodles

Oil sardines

Great as a snack when you’re having a drink at night.

Ginza Hachigo

Since I remember eating at the main shop, it was hard to be satisfied with the cup noodle version.

Butter Chicken Curry Meshi

Just so-so..

Yuzu throat lozenges

Just so-so..

Plant-based hoikoro

The stronger the sauce, the better it tastes.

Soy meat

Mushroom keema curry

I’ve been trying all sorts of plant-based meat lately, and here’s my conclusion.. just eat tofu.. I’m not sure there’s much reason to go to the trouble of making fake meat just so you can eat meat..
