Ok ok - last post about Japan.
It's actually pretty cool at Narita airport. That includes a Lawson (another convenient store).
Fun fact: Lawson actually was originally from Ohio. As they expand and expand they reached Japan. But as they merge and merge in the States, they slowly blended into the other brands. But the ones in Japan got incorporated on their own and became its own brand.
Like 7-11 in Japan, they are just as competitive in their offering, bill pay, tax refund, ATMs...etc. Oh yeah, bread, drinks, cold food, sandwiches.
Rice balls, prepared dishes, and the variety is huge.
What Lawson is most famous for, however is their fried chicken. You can find that right next to the cashier counter, and those were definitely better than any airplane meals. How you get it on board it's on you!
One kitsch thing to get at Lawson, it's their striped stocks. It's very grandpa ish, but still hip! They run specials in the stores, keep an eye out!
This time I got the fruit sando.
Another fun fact, if you want a plastic bag, they do have an up-charge for that. If it's not because I had my hands full, I would've just carried it, but alas...
Since I had time to kill, I went up to the observation deck to enjoy my sandwich.
At the airport, they have their own lego store. Which I always think it's odd. How you're on a plane, though have hours to kill. But if you are missing a piece while putting the thing together, it's not easy to get. But it's a cute store nonetheless.
The other thing you will find in both airports in Tokyo.... it's Pikachus EVERYWHERE.
Not just merch, game, upgrades, and stuff.
They are all around the concourse, directional guide and signs even. Good thing they're cute.
Alright, this is my last post about Japan. We'll be back to Houston food next week!
Lawson's
