Japan's 7-11

Japan is a very neat place, when you get out of the subway station:

You turn one way and see towering modern buildings.  That one over there looks like poop on top.  Actually, it's supposed to be beer foam, but it looks like golden poop to me. 

Turn to another way, you get traditional temple and shops.  But what is more important and fun, going to 7-11!

It has so much offerings.  Ready to go sandwiches.

Prepared side dishes

Prepared meal that all you have to do is to heat it up.

Rice balls that goes on for days....

Just the variety and there's so many different dishes and styles. 

And yes, they do have frozen meals too. 

But let's see what I got (note: I did not have all of these in 1 setting, this is all through out my visit):

This looks cute - no idea what it is.

It's an egg custard flan. 

Fresh juice.  Fun fact: they cannot show picture of real fruit if they do not have real juice.

I love baumkuchen - it's a German cake, but leave it to the Japanese to make it better. 

They called this chocolate crepe, but it's really chocolate crispy.

Chocolate covered banana chips - it's actually not as good as it looked. 

Another fun fact: whatever size they are on the package, it's also a real size of the food inside. 

This is the Salty Rice Crackers - this one, I would stock it all up next time I'm there.  They are just rice cracker, but the salt was not too salty and it's right.

Also found this gem.

It's a mont blanc, and I'm a sucker for anything chestnut.

It came in pudding-like form.  And it doesn't taste as good as I'd thought it'd be.

This is the ever so popular egg salad sandwich.

I know people dog it back home, but it's actually pretty good and it's a stable for our group.  It has protein, tasted good, and it a great on-the-go kinda food.  The first day I was there, I brought on on the way to Disney, and while we wait in line it was a good and easy breakfast.

Another thing that I buy on the repeat: diced apple.  Again, they cannot show a picture of a real fruit, if the content inside it's not from the real thing.

It's all clean and diced, very little oxidation.  And on the back of the bag for ingredients, and they even list the region where the apple is from.  I have never loved knowing where my food came from so much.

At their local 7-11, they can handle your bills, event tickets, shipping your luggage.  They have copier, ATM (fun-fact, a lot of times it's cheaper than other financial institutions fee).  Besides food, drinks, bill pay, they also have small amount of medicine, household goods, change of clothes.  BUT! My favorite of then all, they sell a cup of frozen fruit, you pay for it, then put it into the machine next to cashier and it will blend the smoothie for you.  All for less than $2USD.  They also have a similar machine for coffee drinks too.  See, we don't have those here.
