So everyone, what do YOU love most about the Japanese conbini?
beer!
$47 can be 10%? So, some subscriptions are £470??? That's hardcore Japanophilia :O
I miss Nattō 納豆 from konbini so much, I wonder, is there an EATS code for that? (リトアニア人で、リトアニアに在住してます。)
@@mindeyi ミセスイーツ納豆作りたいね！
@@MrsEats うんうん！作ってみれば、それはよかったら、知りたいですよ。
Mrs. Eats rapping about konbini bread is definitely a treat
She should record a full version and sell it as a single ^^
She's awesome
Also beautiful and attractive
🤣🤣🤣 it really is!
That was dope!
One reason us Americans LOVE Japan convenience stores so much is that our own convenience stores suck so much in comparison, in terms of the food and workers attitude.
Yes, I was very surprised when I went to 7-Eleven in America! The food didn't look so good! I couldn't believe it! They had a small machine that had hot dogs. And the hot dogs were rolling! I never saw this kind of machine before! It looks so funny!
You should try buccees in Texas. Or many gas stations have taco stands that are great. No convenience store in the world compares to buccees.
@@MrsEats It's originally to make sure the hot dogs cook evenly....the problem is...you don't know how long those hot dogs have been there.
@@robburch1 Now if they would only treat their employees better....
@@MrsEats THE HOT DOG ROLLER!!!!
"...Are you ok...?"
"...Just drive..."
Girl, I love these skits! I'm so glad I discovered your channel! 😫
Awww! Thank you!!
"Just Drive" is the sentiment most Americans have at the thought of the infamous Truck Stop Bathrooms.
Truck stops are usually OK, because they are always busy and making money...
Small gas stations, not so much...
And public Rest Areas run by the state highway departments vary from adequate to attrocious...
Some friends and I were on a long drive and needed to stop. The only place around and open was a run-down looking gas station in a little town. Turned out they had a really nice bathroom. We complimented the clerk who turned out to be the owner. He was a former truck driver and made it a point to have a nice bathroom.
DO MORE VIDS WITH MR EATS YOU TWO ARE GOOD AT VIDEO MAKING
Thank you! So glad to hear that!
Oh god, that rap song had me laughing SO much harder than it should have.
Yay!!
Nearly died of laughter from the look of shock on Mr. Eat's face when he asked "are you alright?" 🤣 I did not see that coming. Glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time
Love the Thumbnail. 😄🌹👍
Thank you!! See you in the live chat!!
Mrs. Eats has a great sense of humor and this thumbnail is a prime example of it.
7-11 in America - "That's not a hot dog on the roller, that's a rat that died and all of the fur got rolled off"
7-11 in Asia - "I'm only gonna eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and save so much money! More money for Godzilla toys!"
“Bang all night long… with your very own Taiko no Tatsujin”. She got me 😂
Has us in the first half, NGL xD
Another thing about konbini - they are everywhere. We had spent the night on a ryokan on Izu and took a short detour to Omuroyama (where we got to see Fuji without any clouds in the way) before continuing to Osaka. Our driver claimed to know the way so naturally we got lost. When we finally exited the forest we had to cross a river next to an abandoned hotel on a bridge not much wider than the minibus.
Shortly after that we came to a few houses, 20 or 30, and a Lawson. We were in the middle of nowhere and there was a Lawson!
After a bathroom and food break and the cashier showing that we were on neither of the two places on the map that we thought we followed his directions and we were on a highway within 15 minutes.
Not gonna lie. A couple of weeks ago I didn’t dream about shrines or vistas atop Tokyo Tower. My dream was about buying rice balls and donuts from 7-Eleven and Family Mart. And it’s true. My favorite thing was legit the convenience stores.
Your country truly leads the world in innovation these days
Besides the amazing food one of the things I thought was most interesting about Japanese conbini was being able to pick up a package there. On my 2nd trip to Japan I wanted a WiFi hotspot and I was rather surprised to lean i could have it sent to a conbini near my AirBNB and just picked it up the next morning. Other things I have seen and found surprising was some conbini have a spot to drop off your dry cleaning. And what about paying your taxes at a conbini!? I think one of the reason foreigners fall in love with Japanese conbini is it might be their first experience buying and eating something in Japan. Imagine, you catch the red eye and land in Japan after dark. You are unrested and blindly following your mapping app to your hotel or AirBNB. At last, you have arrived... but your stomach is grumbling. And then you see it. The only place that has lights on. Probably a 7i that only vaguely looks familiar to a westerner. (possibly a Family Mart or Lawsons.) You enter and everything looks.... different. Maybe you are unfamiliar with Japanese food... Maybe you just want your stomach to shut up! This was me on my first trip to Japan. I picked up what i called "The bowl of question marks" I took it to my AirBNB and heated it it. It was Delicious... It was spaghetti... but it also wasn't. It was Salty, delicious and full of CARBS! And this is how i ate my first meal in Japan and developed a life long obsession with mentaiko.
Oh that's great! Yes I didn't mention all of those things! Actually, I never used conbini mail service! I know some people use it, but maybe in emergency situation? Or maybe before they go to work! Also I had opposite feeling when I went to 7-Eleven in American airport! I was hungry after our flight to USA, so we went to 7-Eleven. I was so excited to see what kind of interesting foods American conbini has has, but I was so disappointed! Most of it was junk food! Like chips or some candies. I checked the refrigerator, inside only had drinks and salad! Some sandwich too but, they didn't look tasty at all! And hot food section had hot dog on a rolling machine! And some nacho! I was really surprised because as you know Nosh Japanese 7-Eleven has so many great foods! But even same company in America is completely different!
Ooo good tip to know before my trip, thanks!!
I've done a pretty decent job throughout my life avoiding public toilets in the U.S. But whenever I was forced to use one, I've had my fair share of "nani the frick!" experiences. Not all public facilities are bad in America, but a fair number of them are.
It all depends on where you go. If you go to a small privately owned gas station, usually it's just like she explained in this video. A key attached to a giant cumbersome item so people can't easily steal it, and the bathroom is unmarked, small, and gross. BUT if you go to big chain gas stations like Sheetz, WaWa, 7/11, etc. here in the USA they all have FREE public restrooms! And they're usually very clean and well taken care of. But the BEST option for if you need to use the bathroom in the USA is either to find a truck stop off the highway because they have full showers, bathrooms, and food available, or if you're in a town and can't find a big name gas station, go to a restaurant, ESPECIALLY a fast food restaurant. They don't care who comes in to use the facilities, they won't even bother to say anything to you. Private restaurants might be a little more particular about using the restroom without buying something, but usually will still let you as they don't want someone having an incident on the floor.
In the US if I can find a Bucees on my roadtrip this is where i will always go no matter what. Their bathrooms are ALWAYS clean and tidy and their food and convinience items are always awesome!
one time i read about someone doing, "onigiri roulette" as soon as they settle in their hotel, which is buying at least one of every variety of onigiri at the nearest conbini and eating without reading the label: the one who ends up with the umeboshi loses. I haven't stopped thinking about this since i first read it and i can't wait to get back in your beautiful country! 😂
Oh sounds fun!! But umeboshi sound pretty tasty!! I think I will be happy even if I lose!!
@@MrsEats this confuses me also. Umeboshi is delicious.
I would think the one that gets the puffer-fish scrotum, is the one who loses.
Fun but I'd be thrilled to lose because I love umeboshi!!!!
What!? Umeboshi is one of may faves!!! Rude. 😂
This was so much fun! I've never rushed out work so quickly as I did this morning. Made it home with perfect timing! I love the new video and chatting with everyone while we watched together was such a treat.
Karrie!!!! Istumo arigato! Thank you for coming home and doing our livestream! Yes, we had so much fun chatting with everybody!! We were out side communing in the live chat and so excited!!
Trips to the conbinis were definitely some of the highlights from my trip to Japan.
There are two 7-Elevens near my house (equal distance from my house and on the opposite end of the road). If they had the quality of food they have in Japan, I'd probably be really big and really broke.
Also, the love hotel intro and the conbini bread rap were great!
Oscar!!! Thank you! Yes, I was surprised when I went to American 7/11! They didn't have egg salad sandwich!!(Until then, I thought 7/11 would sell same things everywhere!) Join my rap team!
When I was in the Japan, the Konbini stores were definitely one of my favorites
I enjoy the Shrines a lot though.
Love hotels are tempting, but I’ve always dreamed of a night in Capsule hotels, and a cross country train journey. (But Japan isn’t a wheelchair-friendly country. 😓)
Big groceries are more established in the US, so while you can find hot dogs, burritos and Slushies in a 7-Eleven, they’re mostly for last-minute bread, milk and soda, and most of the takeout cuisine is in he “Grab-‘N-Go” deli sections of big stores.
The USA bathroom story was hilarious! So true. Usually I just find a bush out in the middle of nowhere to pee behind. It's cleaner.
( "Application For Concealed Kancho License" ! ) LoL!
Kanchooo!!!!
I don’t use convenience store bathroom in US. But you can go in McDonald’s, they don’t care if you use them and they are usually pretty clean.
Conbini were a lifesaver when I lived in Japan!
I remember having one day I finished working in Murakami, Niigata and I had to take the last train back to Nagaoka.
I had enough time to buy some food at the conbini and get on the local train. I think I got on the train at 9pm and finally got back to Nagaoka around midnight.
My brother went to Japan for a holiday a few years ago, and he loved the food in 711, Lawson, Circle K etc. Even now, 5 years later he still talks about it!
Conbini! Im an idiot. The whole time i thought she was just mangling the word convenience and dropping the word store. I was wondering how the rest of her english was so great except for that. Lol
I had no idea about konbini bathrooms. On my first day in Japan I asked for a bathroom in a grocery store. The lady I asked was so confused but so nice. She got special permission from her manager to let me use their bathroom and it was incredibly clean. She saved me that day.
Im sorry but thanks to anime I know that your Convenience stores are AMAZING. YOUR 7/11 ARE BETTER COMPLETELY!!! I have friends from Hawaii and alot of the culture came over to that and they loveeeed them. SO JELLY!
Conbini is all mighty!!
What anime made u think that way? Would like to see it
@@jameshudibyo483honestly there is no specific one. I just see the stores warming food, taking care of the customers. They just have so much stuff in one little store! Even like in Haikyuu, they show so many different things
10:02 "Are you ok? ... just drive. " LOL i feel ya
I can't wait for the video tomorrow. I already know that Japanese convenient stores are amazing.
Yes!! Conbini is very exciting!!
Kancho License😆😆😆😆!!!
I wonder how many people caught that!
Well played!
After watching this 4 times I've notice how Mrs eats Acting is actually so good that you don't notice it. Subtle. Oscar worthy
The "Application for Concealed Koncho License" was HILARIOUS!
You guys do a great job with subtle things that could be easy to miss.
I'm only two minutes into this video and I want to visit Japan just to eat that egg salad sandwich every morning 🤤
Also LOVE the haircut!!
This is 100% true. When I went to Japan we ate conbini for a meal almost every day, not because we were lost or lazy, but because it was so good. Boxes of 711 brand Macha and Houjicha tea was one of my favorite souvenirs and was sad when it ran out. Good video.
When I first visited Japan in 2009, I heard about how card-based payments aren't really a thing, and that most ATMs won't even accept foreign bank cards, which was a major issue because I would be there for a long time (8 weeks). There were basically only 2 places I could get cash out of an ATM: the post office and 7 Eleven. Thank God for 7 Eleven!
This is my new favourite channel, hands down
There's a 7-Eleven within walking distance of Chubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya, between two of the hotels. Apparently it's the top Japanese tourist attraction for visitors from China. At least it was before Covid, when I was last there. The line to the cash registers is epic. It winds through all of the store aisles, all the way to the entrance. Reviews on Google even mention this.
I really appreciate Japanese toilets!!! You feel so fresh & clean after nature calls.
I love the temples, food, trees, cities, and I really love the anime.
Your comedy and editing has reached new heights 👍🏽
The Bread Rap! Omg! So awesome just toeing in, great Vidi
I love your sense of humour. The rapping part really cracked me up.
The montage about bread was genius.
I know this is 2 years later but im just now seeing this channel. You have terrific production quality!!
One of my favorite channels to learn about japanese culture makes a good informative and funny video again! How can you not be an actress?
Family Mart is the Best! The bathroom scene is hilarious, and so true!!!
Me when i looking at the acauarium when a scooba diver hugging a huge fish😂
LMAO this lady is a true comedian. I love these videos I have already watched like 8
Not surprised at all, after two vacations to Japan I definitely feel like conbini are one of Japan's national treasures!
I really enjoyed this video and your content. I'm from America and can never leave Japan now that I know there's a land of clean, no gap toilets. I always hated toilets there. There are many other things I love about living here in Japan of course, but not having to stress about what to do when you gotta go while out is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the staff here that keep it that way
Yes Japan is the best for clean bathroom! Thank you for watching the video!
Love your videos! You're hilarious!
I want to go to Japan so badly.
Bathroom advice for anyone visiting the U.S.
This is mostly in issue in two situations. On the highway and in the middle of major city downtown area. On the highway go for the larger establishments like truck stops. Larger buildings mean larger bathrooms and more staff to take care of them, plus they'll be free.
Common ones include:
-Loves travel stop
-Pilot
-Petro
-Flying J
-Travel Centers of America (TA)
And region exclusives
If these aren't available go for gas stations that have a decently large building. Small locations may not have room for a bathroom in the building which is why they're found in the back and they may give people a hard time about it not being free. Since gas stations are very competitive with each other you're likely to have choices. Always go for the nicer looking one.
When downtown in a large city it gets tougher. If you want to use the bathroom for free, avoid fast food restaurants they're the most likely to give people a hard time about "customer only bathrooms". Your best solutions are shopping malls since those are not taken care by any individual business but the mall owners themselves. Places like New York may not have any shopping malls (they have 5th Avenue instead). Some grocery stores may have open bathrooms but they're well hidden.
*Results may vary.
Hope this helps
Knowing where to use bathroom in America feels like video game! It's like finding the hidden level! Almost everywhere in Japan, bathrooms are very clean! Sometimes you find dirty bathroom, usually in the public park. These kind of bathrooms have squat toilet. But most combini, grocery store, and train station have bathroom! America is hard mode, Japan is easy mode!
OMG the song at 8:28 is in tropics! Such a good song!
Here in the US the alcohol cut off time is around 12:00am. For bars it's around 2am. Some later if it's a private club. This is outside of pandemic restrictions.
If you're ever in Texas, go to Buc-ee's. The restrooms are super clean and they have so much at each station and Texans are very proud of these convenient super stores.
1:47 OMG before you even said it I was thinking "I like 7 eleven's egg salad sandwiches" lol 😂
I would say half my food in Japan came from a Lawson, Family Mart, 7 11. Was great for the morning to mid day. Then get a nice lunch/dinner somewhere cool/fancy/cultural. Then coming back to the hotel Lawson again for a snack and couple beers.
I'd say in my 12 days in Japan this was a pretty reoccurring trend 🤔🤔🤔
I think this is common pattern for many travelers haha!
It was a nice and convenient pattern :)
We have a Japanese supermarket about an hour from me and I always go and spend a fortune on the ready-made foods. Especially the onigiri!! There's also a bakery, and a food court with lots of authentic Japanese foods. This will have to do until I can get to Japan. Someday 🥺
Japanese breads is pretty good! You can do it! Ganbatte!
This was an awesome video, it had great acting and MC Eats was spitting out some bars with that little rap.
Joe!!! Thank you!! Hehehe, Call me Busta Eats!
I always love watching mrs eats after a long day
Thank you!!! I'm glad you enjoy it!
LOVE this video! Love the Jojo’s reference & the seeing the JJK bread.
Best of all, the rap. Can’t wait for the that future Mrs. Eats/ Kanye West collab!!!
Haha i love your videos so much! All these small skits are so funny specially with Mr.Eats! ❤😂
0:37 Totally was not suprised.
That was soooo funny at 13:08 the application paper, Thank you very much. Jeff
You always make me laugh at inappropriately high levels, far too early in the morning. The bread montage was where I had to pause. I felt that in my soul (and gut).
Thank you! I'm glad you could laugh loud! Laughing is important! Let's laugh everyday!
I'm binge watching your videos right now, and I'm having such a good time. You're so funny! Plus I'm learning a lot for my eventual trip to Japan! Thank you!
I hope you and your family are doing well. I'm sad that we didn't get to see you for a second year in a row. As soon as we're allowed to travel to Japan, we're booking our tickets! I've already said I wanted to spend a few days in Osaka. Ooh, we should go to the Butler Cafe!
I’m really excited for this one!!! Can’t wait !! Love your channel
Let's have fun!
After watching so many Japanese people on CZcams, I would and most likely will visit Japan one of these days and so look forward to visiting the convenience stores.
The one thing I figured, which you have confirmed, me being plus-sized will make visiting Japan an interesting and taxing experience.
Do you have a writing team and a cinematography department? You're funny and engaging and I'm going to encourage a weasel in your honour today.
またコンビニの卵サンドイッチを食べたい🤤アメリカより日本のコンビニの方が良いです😅
そうですよ！卵サンドは全然おいしい！
In Taiwan, 711 is kind of like a government building, but sells snacks, drinks, and even instant noodles (very yummy). You could pay for a parking ticket there, pay for your college tuition, and pay for parking tickets.
I absolutely adore your video making style, Mrs. and Mr. Eats! I found this very entertaining!
I'm calling it now. Mrs Eats will reach 1,800,000 followers in 2022
Your videos always make me smile - thanks Mrs. Eats!
Thank you Christine! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I really miss the onigiri. Just popping in and grabbing one! I also love the tuna mayo haha.
I really love watching your videos knowing more things in japan!
Sukuna just chilling on the package of that Jujutsu Kaisen one!! 😭❤️
Omg what a rap!!! Awesome!! And the infamous sukuna finger too
The best convenience store food here in the Midwest is at a store called Kwik Trip. It has so many great meal that taste fresh.
I visited 7-11s in Japan several times in 1989 on a movie job (“ Teito Taisen “). They had fun foods there!
Although I had heard a lot of this before, I love your unique perspective!
I admire your hairstyle and makeup in this video!
Being a pair of fish banging in a shark's mouth had me dying 🤣
You make my days better 😂 thank you
P
S
Your rap was amazing!!
Growing up in Hawaii, for a long time, I didn't know that 7-eleven originated from Japan. Our 7-elevens in Hawaii are pretty good too, but it's usually run by old filipino ladies who make really good local Hawaii food, so a mixture of mostly hawaiian, filipino, chinese, japanese, and american food bentos to choose from. Before work, I'd usually pick up a spicy shrimp katsu musubi and after work, I'd pick out a bento for dinner. I work from home now, so I mainly just cook for myself now and lost weight, lol
This video deserves a million views
Your bread sequence made me laugh so much.
i love your personallity and editing i had to subscribed
I love Mrs Eats videos, they get more and more entertaining with each one. Especially that bread story, lol! But some advice for those not from America. If someone pulls that pistol on you in the store, do not (I repeat) do not throw paint on them. They more than likely will shoot the "tawagoto" out of you.
I just adore these videos they are so fun to watch
LOVED the song!! Nice beats!!! 🎶😎
Your expressions make me so happy!
Yay!! Im so happy to hear that!
Seriously great video. Very well done!
Thank you!
always great to watch.. always so funny.. great video
We have to protect Mrs Eats at all cost.
she says at 456 - Not true.
in Most store in the US The wine / Beer is NOT behind a "locked case" it is usually on a shelf or in a cooler.
Ahhhhhhhh! That song! ❤️❤️❤️
That public restroom skit, I get it 😖🤮
Tremendous comedy and info! This video is a home run!
The drug stores in the US will usually have an isle with things like socks. It came in realy handy for me one time when there was some flash flooding while I was on the way to work. I got off the train and walked to the office and by the time I got there my socks were soaked all the way through. I was able to go across the street and pick up a pack of clean socks instead of sitting around squishing my feet in wet ones all day.
I agree. I miss the Kombini store and things available there.
Who needs Hollywood when we have Full Body Entertainmento?
This video is great 🤣🤣🤣
Fellipe!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Hehehe, Mr Eats and I had a blast making the skits!
The bathroom scene was hilarious!
