The video begins with the host sampling a Café Frappe, a popular cold beverage, before diving into classics like the egg sandwich and Famichiki (FamilyMart’s iconic fried chicken). Other items reviewed include buttered corn, chocolate anpan (sweet roll filled with chocolate), and traditional Japanese comfort foods like omelette rice (omurice). There are also seasonal and specialty desserts such as a bunny peach cake and a sakuramochi-style roll cake, reflecting the ever-changing selection found in Japanese convenience stores.

Midway through, viewers will see a selection of baked goods like tomato & cheese bread and a biscuit and cake assortment box. For those interested in Japanese street food, grilled squid is featured, followed by a taste of Biang Biang noodles, a hearty Chinese-inspired dish. The meal concludes with sweet treats from the ice cream case, including Papico chocolate & coffee and strawberry cheesecake-flavored frozen desserts.
