that’s a great reaction. it’s funny how everyone has their own little reactions to good food. i always do a lil dancey dance without even noticing i’m doing it 😅
The fact that they can keep the crispy part of a food seperated and actually crispy is amazing!!!! I wish we could figure that out here in America cause I hate getting food thats supposed to be crispy yet is soggy
Visual Audio well it’s been figured out, the difference is our standards in America are beyond lower. The Japanese have extremely high standards and put lots of care and thought into everything they do, including their food. In America we slap a barcode on just about anything and sell it 🤷♀️
Nic I thought botulism cheese was a fancy type of cheese... I was like, "that makes no since for an american convenience store??!" then I read it out loud without the french accent...
@@chromberries7329 Yeah back in the early 2000s a 711 manager left 15 year expired nacho cheese on the heating lamp for customers to consume and 1 unlucky dude got botulism from it 💀☠💀
I'd like to see how they bring their own personal editing styles together. Mikey is more fast paced and has a couple of comments or jokes between each cut, Emmy is more thoughtful and slow paced.
The world needs to adopt Japan's recycling system. At the very least, every store and gas station (here in the US) should be required by law to provide a recycling bin for plastics and glass.
Oh man. This perfectly describes my thoughts right now. I still have 10 minutes left and I'm actually worried and a little confused.. How can she still be able to fit that in her tiny body? Even just single bites?? Lol
I am not fond of wheat or rice. But, so many carbs. I couldn't resist making fresh hashbrowns, skins on, heirloom yellow potatoes. with olive oil, fresh rosemary & salt. Then, before I knew it, I had jasmine ball tea, tinned mackerel & vegetable stew on the side. Oh Emmy, your delight whets & inspires my own appetite.
In the way of convenience, absolutely. The vending machines , the c stores. Fast pace transportation. I would love to go to Japan, just to eat. But not anywhere like gigantic city. Not a fan of teaming humanity. 🙃
Lee Michaels you could buy food in Japan is so delicious! Also most places are fairly affordable even at restaurants. In fact, a lot of them have you pay up front at a ticket machine! I can get a giant bowl of ramen from most places (my fave being Ichiran) for 700-900 yen.
Crista Oh that’s wonderful. I know that other blogger guy “only in Japan”. He took Mikey Chen to a sushi restaurant. And yeah it was like $32 but you could tell it was the real deal and looks scrumptious. I don’t even like sushi. I’ve never even eaten raw fish. But half the things on that plate I definitely would try. Then I’m sure whom ever I would be with could enjoy the other half of mine😂
Well here is the question that I have. Are food prices in general reasonable in Japan? Because I’ve seen some crazy fruit videos LOL. But that being said are vegetables and staple foods all pretty cheap? And is that because a lot of the food is grown right in the country of Japan it’s self? Because I have noticed that a lot of farming/gardening happens in Japan is that true?
those bell sound and the crows... something that always bring back memories of Japan lol. And shopping in Japanese konbini is become of one of my favorite things to do whenever I go there
@@lrw121 I know I need a life because I watched the entire video again just to see where she said that. I couldn't find it. She mumbled it a little only once, when she ate the rolled up seaweed & sticky soy bean roll. But she sounded all the letters, so I still don't see where she said deliluh ! HaHa 🤷🏻♀️

@@laurawollner9353 I think they do collect more of their single use plastics, they're a really clean country and have bins everywhere. Most used plastic ends up unrecycleable, I think especially plastics used for food packaging because there's still residue.
It surprises me that they aren't more environmentally aware, especially since they live on such a small island. Many manufacturers in the west are moving to bio-plastics or other plant based materials. I wonder if Japan is doing the same thing but maybe at a slower pace.
This video dials my nostalgia about the years I lived in Japan up to 11. I miss Lawson Station and Family Mart, and a thousand other things. Mostly I miss my lovely neighbors.
Lawsons Dairy stores started in Ohio in the US and became some of the first "corner convenience stores". People in much of the northeast grew up on Lawsons milk, fresh orange juice, chopped ham and and the most popular item, Lawsons French Onion chip dip. In the US, they eventually became Dairy Mart and then Circle K. The only reminder of Lawsons in the US is, of course, Lawsons French Onion dip, still available at Circke K, LOL. It's so cool that Lawson is still alive, well and popular in Japan. Edit: I see someone beat me to it. I didn't scroll down far enough.
I always watch Emmy @ work with the captions on, and the "Itadakimasu" is always translated in some wild way...today it was "utility mouse", which I think is going to be my new email address! But when she said "I think of crispiness" while eating the pizza nikuman , the subtitles said "I think of Chris penis" & I almost LOL'd in my office!
I'm blown away by how cheap, as well as healthy, a lot of this stuff is! The UK equivalents of 'convenience store food' would easily cost 2x as much at the very least. I'm so jealous. It all looks so tasty too!

FYI, when you open the onigiri, you need to tear the first tab off completely so it's entirely detached from the rest of the packaging, that allows you to take the 2 side bits of wrapping off independently and you won't rip the nori like you did
I was going to comment on the very same thing. It would seem there are different versions of the same food in many places. The purin was much like flan which is Latin in nature as well. :)
I love cooked cabbage. Every time I smell it I'm like, "Mmm... stinks so good!" Farts? Not so much, lol. Fun fact: did you know that cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and collard greens (and several others) are all the same species? They're all selectively bred cultivars of the same plant.
If you like cabbage, try to mix it with some shredded carrots! Slice the cabbage to thin slices, shred the carrots, put some salt and pepper on top, and steam it until it gets soft. God, it's sooo good :D !
@@TheWitchvortex In my country (Greece) we do that... but raw. We call it cabbage salad. Just shredded carrot, cabbage and some dressing (olive oil, vinegar OR lemon juice)
Witchvortex I don't know if you eat meat but if you do, crip up some bacon and add that to your recipe when it's almost done steaming and it's so good. I don't even like the taste of bacon but with cabagge I love it.
The related to eachother thing, it's something that's quite obvious over here since they all end with "kål" which basically means cabbage. Vitkål (the "normal" green cabbage), brysselkål (brussel sprouts), blomkål (cauliflower), grönkål (kale) and so on, it's funny how just knowing another language can bring knowledge about random stuff that isn't actually language related 😄
Those triangle-cut egg salad sandwiches along with a hot can of Boss Coffee are my go-to breakfast when I’m in Tokyo. Seeing you bite into the Lawson one practically put the taste in my mouth... missing you, Japan.
😭 I miss japan so much. We lived in Okinawa for 4 years and LOVED IT! The convenience stores are absolutely amazing. Omg the drink machines! I miss those so much as well. They’re on every corner and ALWAYS have delicious drinks. Their coffee and tea is everything. The restaurants everything! My heart is definitely still there ❤️
Okay, the pizza one is the biggest let down. My first time I was so hyped to eat one then realized it is nothing but tomato paste..... the first time in my life here in Japan that I had been let down by a convenience store.
The most incredible thing is seeing Lawsons...It was a milk company in the 1950s from Akron Ohio that opened convince stores. Growing up in Cleveland in the 60s they were on basically every street corner. They went under in the 1980sand I miss them, they still sell the lawsons chip dip .does anybody remember the big o orange juice commercial?
Yeesss!! I lived for Japan convenience store when I went there for a month. It was around the end of winter/beginning of spring and it was still very cold (i live in a tropical country, so 18°c below for me is already very cold). Those hot drinks are a lifesaver! And i love these convenience store food (and they are inexpensive 😂). Love trying out different foods everyday 😝
Watching this whilst in bed with a fibromyalgia flare x your videos are so soothing and I love Japanese culture, great for taking my mind off things x Thank you for always putting out great content Emmy :)
Japan has so many technological innovations. I think it's awesome that the konbinis have tables & chairs to sit at. America seriously needs to catch up.
I LOVE the way they package things in Japan !! That flan is so cute ! And the “sushi like”triangle and roll ! I love the special way you open them to keep the seaweed crisp ! 💞😊💞
omg! i started watching you way back when you were living in japan! when i was visiting japan konbini food was 50% of my diet! lol really tasty and cheap!
I’m sitting here for 25minutes watching Emmy eat and I keep thinking “this is so much food! She has to be separating these by the days like...” but nope, same shirt 😂 Respect the appetite, in all honesty I’d wanna do the same thing though!
@TheCayden, But Emmy only eats between one small bite of dubious food & maybe 3 bites of her favorites so, between 9 & 27 bites, or about a 12 ounces of food. For an active Mom, in the prime of health & strength. That's a fine size lunch. I am envious of her capacity & metabolism.
In the 1970's, We used to have Lawson's in Ohio, and they are all gone now. I grew up going there.They were big before the convienience stores erupted all over in different forms, to see that logo took me back. How cool those stores are now. That's some pretty neat food choices. My husband misses Lawson's French Onion Chip Dip. Can't be duplicated.
Watching Safiya’s videos in Japan made me want to visit Japan, you’ve just concreted it for me! Emmy, could you tell me how well they are equipped to cope with tourists who are wheelchair users? Like could I access public transport etc? Thanks and hope you have a great holiday!
Love your videos, specially the way you describe every bite. You’ve got such a flair with flavor vocabulary it’s just so special. I can taste everything through you (that sounds wrong somehow) thanks for the content, keep it up you little morsel of joy.
This video is exactly what I needed. I had a very rough day at work and this cheered me up. Thank you for all of your hard work Emmy! This was such a fun video

If you’re concerned about the amount of plastic packagings that they use look up videos about the Japanese’s recycling system.

In the way of convenience, absolutely. The vending machines , the c stores. Fast pace transportation.

We have a lot more space to grow outwards, whereas Japan has a smaller landmass and neccesity is the mother of invention.

I was going to comment on the very same thing. It would seem there are different versions of the same food in many places. The purin was much like flan which is Latin in nature as well. :)
the name comes from the look. has nothing to do with ingredients or taste.
We call it "Cara Sucia" in Ecuador, but it's essentially the same thing.
It makes sense, considering the Portuguese influence on Japanese cuisine
it is! I had one when I was in Japan last winter. I would say the Japanese ones are little softer than concha but they are both super tasty

Fun fact: did you know that cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and collard greens (and several others) are all the same species? They're all selectively bred cultivars of the same plant.
If you like cabbage, try to mix it with some shredded carrots!
Slice the cabbage to thin slices, shred the carrots, put some salt and pepper on top, and steam it until it gets soft. God, it's sooo good :D !
@@TheWitchvortex In my country (Greece) we do that... but raw. We call it cabbage salad. Just shredded carrot, cabbage and some dressing (olive oil, vinegar OR lemon juice)
Witchvortex I don't know if you eat meat but if you do, crip up some bacon and add that to your recipe when it's almost done steaming and it's so good. I don't even like the taste of bacon but with cabagge I love it.
The related to eachother thing, it's something that's quite obvious over here since they all end with "kål" which basically means cabbage. Vitkål (the "normal" green cabbage), brysselkål (brussel sprouts), blomkål (cauliflower), grönkål (kale) and so on, it's funny how just knowing another language can bring knowledge about random stuff that isn't actually language related 😄
@@EmA-oo9xk you're from Scandinavia arent you?
Those triangle-cut egg salad sandwiches along with a hot can of Boss Coffee are my go-to breakfast when I’m in Tokyo. Seeing you bite into the Lawson one practically put the taste in my mouth... missing you, Japan.
😭 I miss japan so much. We lived in Okinawa for 4 years and LOVED IT! The convenience stores are absolutely amazing. Omg the drink machines! I miss those so much as well. They’re on every corner and ALWAYS have delicious drinks. Their coffee and tea is everything. The restaurants everything! My heart is definitely still there ❤️
Okay, the pizza one is the biggest let down. My first time I was so hyped to eat one then realized it is nothing but tomato paste..... the first time in my life here in Japan that I had been let down by a convenience store.
There is something oddly satisfying about watching people eat Japanese 7-Eleven food.
watching this after coming back from Japan,,,, I miss it so much!!
Watching this is making me want to visit Japan even more.
The most incredible thing is seeing Lawsons...It was a milk company in the 1950s from Akron Ohio that opened convince stores. Growing up in Cleveland in the 60s they were on basically every street corner. They went under in the 1980sand I miss them, they still sell the lawsons chip dip .does anybody remember the big o orange juice commercial?
Bob Payne, I was singing the big O commercial to someone recently. I still remember the words. 😂
Bob Payne I also grew up in Cleveland. Now in Lakewood but I miss Lawson’s... and those days in general!
Yeesss!! I lived for Japan convenience store when I went there for a month. It was around the end of winter/beginning of spring and it was still very cold (i live in a tropical country, so 18°c below for me is already very cold). Those hot drinks are a lifesaver! And i love these convenience store food (and they are inexpensive 😂). Love trying out different foods everyday 😝
Watching this whilst in bed with a fibromyalgia flare x your videos are so soothing and I love Japanese culture, great for taking my mind off things x
Thank you for always putting out great content Emmy :)
Japan has so many technological innovations. I think it's awesome that the konbinis have tables & chairs to sit at. America seriously needs to catch up.
“Carb on Carb,here we go!” 😂🤣 Love Emmy all day long!💞💖
I agree about Cabbage being an underrated veggie. I love it so much and it's good in so many things.
So back when I was a kid I used to put my instant teriyaki noodles on a hoagie roll. It reminds me of the yakisoba (spelling?) sandwich haha
I love aloe. The texture is just really appealing to me. I love the thought of it in yogurt. It's supposed to be good for digestion.
Am I the only one talking at my screen? Like : “you will like this” and then Emmy says “delicious” and continues to describe the food.
Loki Kuro nope, she said natto and I’m like “slimey beans! I’m good” 🤢
It’s a flavour and texture that grow on you. XD
I got used to it, and now I like it.
wow. Emmy for a little girl, you sure can eat! who's watching your chickens while you're in Japan?
I LOVE the way they package things in Japan !! That flan is so cute ! And the “sushi like”triangle and roll ! I love the special way you open them to keep the seaweed crisp ! 💞😊💞
In Hawaii the pork buns are called “Monapua”. They are to die for.
omg! i started watching you way back when you were living in japan!
when i was visiting japan konbini food was 50% of my diet! lol really tasty and cheap!
I’m sitting here for 25minutes watching Emmy eat and I keep thinking “this is so much food! She has to be separating these by the days like...” but nope, same shirt 😂 Respect the appetite, in all honesty I’d wanna do the same thing though!
@TheCayden,
But Emmy only eats between one small bite of dubious food & maybe 3 bites of her favorites so, between 9 & 27 bites, or about a 12 ounces of food. For an active Mom, in the prime of health & strength. That's a fine size lunch. I am envious of her capacity & metabolism.
In the 1970's, We used to have Lawson's in Ohio, and they are all gone now. I grew up going there.They were big before the convienience stores erupted all over in different forms, to see that logo took me back. How cool those stores are now. That's some pretty neat food choices. My husband misses Lawson's French Onion Chip Dip. Can't be duplicated.
I like to watch this video whenever I’m feeling down. Emmy is just a ray of sunshine and the food looks so tasty
Watching Safiya’s videos in Japan made me want to visit Japan, you’ve just concreted it for me! Emmy, could you tell me how well they are equipped to cope with tourists who are wheelchair users? Like could I access public transport etc? Thanks and hope you have a great holiday!
You can ignore the water on her shirt or just watch it dry 👏👏👏
So speaketh the mother of two boys... lol, nothing's gonna faze her!
would love for you to do more of these. there’s something so satisfying about watching these convenience store videos
Love your videos, specially the way you describe every bite. You’ve got such a flair with flavor vocabulary it’s just so special. I can taste everything through you (that sounds wrong somehow) thanks for the content, keep it up you little morsel of joy.
I would eat so much food there. All looks so delicious!
My stomach hurt just watching you sample all these! LOL -- you clearly had a ton of fun trying all of those. And it was fun to watch.
Anyone else obsessed with the cute tripod character? It needs its own name and movie.
Emmy: "I lived in Japan for a couple of years and never once had an egg salad sandwich - ever"
Me: Blasphemy!!!
Emmy, you’re so awesome at describing and explaining. Have fun in Japan!
YES!! Everytime I go to Japan, i really go for the Tuna Mayo Onigiri in EVERY konbini I see!
Ahhh I just love how innovative the packaging on many of these items is!
This video is exactly what I needed. I had a very rough day at work and this cheered me up. Thank you for all of your hard work Emmy! This was such a fun video
