[17]
how's travelers coming to Japan I know
[20]
people want to go to all these different
[21]
cool restaurants and shops and go out
[24]
but sometimes you just want to stay in
[26]
the hotel or maybe the Airbnb and just
[28]
have a snack as a local I'm gonna show
[30]
you my favorite can be any food that I
[32]
buy when I go home and just want to
[34]
chill all right let's get started
[38]
it's come on curry pan number 10 fried
[43]
curry bun from daily pon means bread and
[45]
Japanese daily is owned by a big bakery
[48]
company called Yamazaki usually
[50]
convenient store sell pre-made packaged
[52]
bread but daily does it with a freshness
[55]
so I just heated it up a little bit put
[58]
it on the toaster it's actually got a
[60]
little bit burned a little bit still
[62]
freaking ready to go let's just open
[66]
this bad boy up now there's a strong
[72]
strong curry smell it's a little bit
[74]
oily like you can tell us well it's
[76]
coming from my fingers I just know that
[78]
it's been fried and pride and for I want
[87]
enough it's amazing it's almost like
[90]
like a donut really really crispy fried
[94]
donut with curry inside and if you like
[97]
fried food and you like hurry then
[99]
you're definitely gonna love this thing
[102]
no need to haul in the oneness I'll clip
[106]
it on there like I can hear how crispy
[108]
it is super super crispy like a thin
[119]
crust you would think this is really
[121]
heavy cuz like fried it is oily but it's
[124]
super light curry is really good serious
[126]
you're like a sweet Japanese curry which
[128]
I really like look look look for divine
[131]
on that what about it I get it didn't
[133]
you go hmm number nine eat CUDA onigiri
[138]
from Lawson what I like about Lawson is
[141]
that they also have a health-conscious
[142]
line of food and check out these healthy
[145]
packaged side dishes and Lawson farm
[147]
vegetables yes they have their own farm
[151]
so there's so many types of onigiri in
[154]
all the different companies this one is
[157]
actually Michael's favorite I'm not much
[159]
of an onigiri fan because she
[160]
recommended it this is gonna make our
[162]
top 10 list now this in fact is one of
[165]
those more premium ones and there's 100
[167]
in Tony giddy this one is 162 yen which
[170]
is kind of like a great above it comes
[172]
in a spring in package what else can you
[173]
ask for it little insider tip this line
[176]
of onigiri usually uses koshihikari rice
[179]
from Niigata it's like the rice version
[181]
of Wagyu beef there's so much you could
[183]
in here gonna take one half and eat it
[185]
and give the other half to Mike on let's
[187]
take a bite of this look at that I love
[193]
how the equator just like pops in your
[196]
mouth and then all of that the juices
[197]
and the flavor just like burst and
[199]
explode a little like saltiness of the
[202]
equitable you would think that the rice
[205]
and the seaweed would like really be bad
[207]
but still pretty fresh so usually the
[210]
seaweed wraps and rice are packaged
[211]
separately to keep it crisp like this I
[214]
guess this is why like in Japan people
[217]
love on EGD you know if you need a snack
[219]
you just pick up annointing idiot so you
[221]
like put it in your pocket put it in
[222]
your bag and then like an hour later
[224]
when you get hungry just like eat it
[225]
it's like the one of the most convenient
[227]
foods here in Japan it's like better
[229]
than should I say a sandwich so this is
[232]
my favorite it's like go-to and I don't
[235]
know what to get mm-hmm good up it's not
[240]
really like put your pudgy but um it's
[243]
really like mild
[244]
I think it's marinated it's really mild
[246]
and like this rich base it's like soaked
[249]
into the rice it's just so good a lot of
[252]
like different company does sell it we
[254]
don't get it but this place is the best
[256]
one and this premium package makes me
[258]
feel better
[259]
number eight side dishes from Family
[262]
Mart Family Mart is my comfort
[264]
convenience
[265]
it always has something I want their hot
[267]
deli always shows up plus they're known
[269]
for unique side dish is called okaasan
[271]
shokudo which means Mama's kitchen all
[274]
right what's also cool about convenience
[276]
stores is you don't need to get you know
[278]
the full meal deal you can actually get
[281]
some little
[282]
Kaiser's for just snacking and maybe
[285]
even drinking I wanted to show you my
[287]
favorite this is spicy iike which is
[291]
spicy squid and this is now coarser
[294]
yucky
[296]
look at that it's its own freaking tray
[299]
it's amazing so ingenious but it
[302]
wouldn't be complete without a beer
[304]
the thing is right now I'm not really
[306]
drinking so much so I wanted to tell you
[310]
guys about my little secret Suntory all
[313]
free hmm I've tried other non-alcoholic
[320]
drinks this one is my favorite so if you
[322]
ever come to Japan and you're looking
[324]
for a non-alcoholic beverage
[325]
Suntory all free is the freakin bomb mmm
[329]
look you can see the cartilage there's
[332]
like some meat there - oh the cartilage
[336]
I love cartilage it chewy crunchy right
[339]
it's like one of those really salty
[341]
salty snack so they put the peppers it
[343]
with the salt and it just goes well with
[346]
the freaking beer and then let's try the
[349]
squid
[351]
mmm really soft and they've added kind
[354]
of like a pepper to it by the Chili
[356]
Peppers so it's a little bit fuzzy but
[358]
not so much and this is still really
[359]
really moist up you can see it's like
[361]
dripping so I used to get this little
[364]
side dishes when I'm not that hungry but
[366]
I do have to eat something for dinner
[368]
like afterward you know we have a lot of
[379]
pepper and so sleep is perfect for
[382]
Pierre doesn't stop Christian nuggets on
[387]
it this is you can stop good like my mom
[389]
used to make the broiler for like long
[391]
hours and like the taste is like suck
[394]
picking the meat so good it's not Sophie
[397]
at all it's like yeah I see like nice
[399]
homemade kind of taste number seven oh
[402]
yeah codone from 7-eleven so 7-eleven is
[406]
definitely the largest convenient chain
[407]
in Tokyo and recently they've upped
[410]
their variety game I mean look at all
[412]
these scrumdiddlyumptious treats
[414]
[Music]
[417]
definitely smell the chicken in this one
[419]
you can also smell the no D that's nice
[421]
and kind of melted when we cooked it it
[423]
looks still pretty good it's what's nice
[424]
is like to keep the rice fresh they have
[426]
a little like this tray for just the
[428]
meat and the egg and for the sauce and
[430]
then after you cook it and you take the
[432]
toppings and then you put it on top of
[434]
the rice all right
[435]
I can eat chicken all day so no matter
[438]
what it has chicken in I'm probably
[440]
gonna love it hmm then chicken is nice
[445]
and tender it's it's not breast meat it
[447]
tastes more like thigh meat which I
[449]
really love I really love dark meat the
[451]
meat isn't dry at all
[452]
the egg is pretty nice itself man I
[454]
really like the smell of like this
[456]
Japanese home cooking kind of smell like
[460]
a mass mmm mmm I just had like a really
[465]
good bite mr. Park has a lot of yoga me
[467]
Nippon the niche niche a step on it yeah
[469]
Chiquita has a strong taste ah no wonder
[471]
like everything else was it really like
[473]
a light flavor but like that's to go
[475]
with this like strong taste chicken
[477]
which it's really good no I'm gonna buy
[479]
dinner from no no good
[480]
next give it to me Oh Dan number six
[484]
Oden from Lawson every convenience Oden
[487]
in the winter but Lawson is my favorite
[490]
because I love their selection and the
[492]
soup dashi is light yet rich one of the
[496]
things I really like about Lawson is it
[498]
has a lot of toppings that you can
[500]
actually get to it it's all free for
[502]
example you have green onions you have a
[504]
yuzu Kosho kadhai she looks like a
[506]
mustard yeah yuzu which is kind of like
[509]
a citrus taste to it
[510]
Deli sauce smoked kun say miso Tata
[515]
so I'm gonna put some musical show
[517]
what's nice is they have this lip right
[519]
here to put your sauces and then let's
[522]
put some karashi I love yakitori one of
[526]
my favorite things in your catotti is
[528]
says sette and they actually have says
[529]
Sethi at this Lawson check this off so
[532]
Sethi is actually the neck part of the
[534]
chicken and it's super good
[540]
because it's in the odor they're just
[542]
soft and tender and I also like scoonie
[544]
it's like kind of like a chicken
[546]
meatball mm-hmm it's super juicy and
[550]
then when you bite into it you can feel
[552]
like the little cartilage little crunchy
[554]
parts and so I really really love that
[555]
part of it all right let's try that with
[557]
a yuzu mmm it's good to have the user -
[562]
all right so let's taste the soup so
[565]
it's kind of like a fish broth it's very
[567]
very light so you know it's not doesn't
[569]
overpower all of the ODE in here slowly
[572]
cooks over time so all of the juices
[574]
from all the different pieces blend in
[576]
together and mixed together so you kind
[578]
of get like this interesting and
[579]
delicious wouldn't taste I also picked
[582]
up a fish cake with gobo root and Chicka
[584]
wah
[584]
a bamboo shaped fish-paste cake all
[586]
right so let's take this and dip it into
[588]
the Karachi which is a mustard get that
[591]
in there you can see mm-hmm a little
[598]
kick run the mustard really good tofu I
[600]
love it I just love how you can get all
[603]
of this food at the convenience store it
[605]
is so convenient really convenient
[607]
I'm Don Jon I missed it yeah it's like
[610]
you know the way back in the bottom I
[612]
think my favorite Gordon is daikon so
[616]
like Mesa they use not have missile
[619]
intercarrier only in Aichi cuz that's
[621]
how we eat mighty I'm for my team but
[624]
like maybe I think it's getting more
[625]
common
[628]
[Music]
[633]
honest opinion you don't like it you say
[635]
no it's good number-5 menchi-katsu from
[639]
Lawson so I love Lawson's fried food
[641]
karaagac hoon is delicious roasted
[643]
chicken hits a spot but like the kid who
[645]
sends money home I love men she cuts in
[647]
the most like of that it's just
[650]
golden-brown still warm to the touch
[653]
it's actually kind of like hefty pretty
[655]
heavy like you can feel like this is
[656]
going to be like very very filling so
[664]
crispy I'm gonna build a crunch and you
[666]
can see the juice is still flowing
[668]
inside it's like so juicy I can just
[673]
suck the juices out super soft and you
[676]
can taste this is just a little bit
[678]
sweet follow that melt
[682]
there's nobody oh wow it's super soft
[686]
usually like a mint you cut too but meat
[689]
is packed in but like it's really soft
[691]
like almost gooey looks good mm-hmm good
[699]
taste the onion and black pepper it's a
[702]
really flavorful I really like it I
[704]
usually don't like ride food at
[706]
conveniently it's always like really
[708]
creepy but this is a really crispy
[712]
number four carbonara from 7-eleven ah I
[717]
feel like I'm smelling a lot of cheese
[719]
and butter I'm gonna smell the bacon too
[721]
and it's kind of like that pepper bacon
[723]
ah so excited for this one when you
[727]
first bought this you look like a bunch
[729]
of cheese on pasta and now that we've
[730]
heated it up you can see that's melted
[732]
and kind of liquefied a little bit let's
[734]
take the first bite Wow look creaming
[742]
hmm when the bacon is really nice with
[744]
it too you can touch a little bit salty
[746]
but I think that's kind of accept expect
[748]
it well I just got all of myself
[751]
so I have a problem with getting all of
[752]
my choice it almost tastes like there's
[761]
just a lot of different cheeses in here
[762]
so it's like really hard to tell it's
[764]
really good and when you're at home who
[766]
my favorite have asked us us maybe just
[771]
a little bit of pepper but definitely
[774]
you can taste the calories in here this
[776]
is not the healthiest meal but still
[778]
pretty good this fellas most favorite
[789]
pasta I'm gonna eat it's a good choice
[797]
that you put the Tabasco in there a
[799]
little kick bacon no so holy
[804]
I hate oily bacon you really meaty smoky
[807]
number three men taiko carbonara who
[810]
don't from Family Mart as you guys can
[812]
see I love carving our up but this one
[814]
is a little bit different because this
[816]
is food Oh noodles which is very very
[819]
Japanese and it has some meant ICO you
[822]
can actually smell the mint ICO a little
[825]
bit but you can actually smell the
[827]
cheese even more and was super cool is
[831]
you just put that egg there's an onsen
[833]
tamago which means that it's half cooked
[835]
egg and you just drop it in there and
[837]
you mix it inside and then it creates
[838]
this like awesome master
[840]
I love how the meant ICO mixes in well
[847]
with an egg and then you have the
[849]
Carbonaro cheesy sauce and then a new
[851]
donor the thick noodles I also like the
[854]
little pieces of bacon and adds meat
[857]
flavor to it which is nice delicious
[861]
I like dieudonn茅 especially the one at
[864]
Family Mart
[865]
it's like safe noodle - by going in New
[869]
York super cheesy I don't really do
[875]
cement back home I've been much it the
[877]
noodles out then there Alicia can taste
[880]
more maple oh hi mister - tanta that was
[883]
a really good number to get a katsu
[885]
sandwich from Family Mart here a katsu
[888]
Sando
[890]
it's really nice cuz it comes in like
[892]
this premium wrapping there was actually
[895]
two different here that cuts through the
[897]
sandwiches there was just a regular one
[898]
and this is a premium one look it inside
[901]
see the heated cuts it there's a pretty
[904]
freakin thick piece it's actually cold
[907]
to the touch it just came from the
[908]
refrigerator section so I mean it's not
[910]
super cold but you're not actually
[912]
supposed to heat this up which it says
[914]
in the package so let's take the first
[916]
bite like a big freakin vitamin
[919]
[Music]
[921]
hmm it has a layer of the country sauce
[924]
which is a little bit sweet but then you
[926]
have the bread layer which kind of not
[928]
balances out the taste and then the meat
[930]
is really thick it's not so juicy but it
[933]
is like very meaty this will fill you up
[936]
it's almost like a gut bomb
[938]
suanne your salsa coughs ah if by salsa
[940]
liked it hmm
[944]
let the sauce it's the Shires worst
[952]
worst - Cyrus off worst desire sauce
[956]
where is this entire sauce we're good
[962]
sisters oh yeah and that's really good
[965]
outer layer is like soaking back all the
[968]
sauce the cockles pretty crispy - and
[973]
number one fried chicken from daily I
[977]
love fried chicken so every community
[980]
has their own version of fried chicken
[982]
this is from daily what a lot of people
[984]
say is that bummy chicky is the best
[987]
chicken in all of the convenience stores
[990]
but my favorite is actually from daily I
[993]
would say that Fahmy chicky is actually
[995]
pretty freakin good but I kind of like
[997]
the daily fried chicken a little bit
[999]
better that daily fried food selection
[1001]
is a so freaking big so when I want to
[1004]
get my fried food on I go today Lee
[1007]
[Music]
[1010]
oh no it's and juicy it's nobody it's so
[1017]
delicious it doesn't even need any sauce
[1019]
they just eat it just like this it's
[1024]
really good amazing paint like ten were
[1026]
these okay so I don't really care about
[1033]
fried chicken but all it's good right is
[1042]
bad tasty outer layer you can see like
[1045]
spices mixed in so that's probably like
[1048]
well the flavor is coming from which is
[1051]
pretty good I like it all the way to the
[1061]
bone no soldiers left behind so that
[1065]
wraps up my top 10 favourite combini
[1068]
food now obviously it's not as healthy
[1070]
and if you were to make it yourself and
[1072]
it maybe you could probably make better
[1074]
food on your own but if you're in a
[1076]
pinch and you just want to try some
[1078]
Japanese food you don't have a lot of
[1079]
time and convenience store food is
[1082]
