By Dig Dig JAPAN

In this video from the Dig Dig JAPAN channel, the host explores the mouthwatering world of Japanese convenience store meals by sampling ten different items from 7-Eleven. Known in Japan as 'konbini', convenience stores like 7-Eleven are lauded for offering high-quality, reasonably priced meals that go far beyond the typical snacks you'd find elsewhere.

The video kicks off with a taste test of Sakunyage, a savory snack often enjoyed for its crispy texture and flavor. Next, the focus moves to a hearty serving of Spaghetti Bolognese, showcasing how even classic Western dishes are given a unique spin in Japanā€™s convenience stores. Two varieties of macaroni salads followā€”one featuring bacon and veggies with mayo, and another with seafood and mustard-mayonnaise, highlighting the range of flavors and Japanese twist on cold deli-style meals.

The variety expands with a traditional Japanese dish: rice soup made with trout and pickled potherb mustard, complemented by warm broth that's perfect for colder months. Sweet lovers are also in for a treat with cocoa chiffon cake filled with whipped cream, offering a soft and fluffy texture. Savory options return with a combo of chicken and pork sausage, and two instant ramen productsā€”Chicken Ramen Karamucho and U.F.O Karamuchoā€”spiced with hot chili for those who prefer bolder flavors.

A surprisingly satisfying 'Lunch Pie' shows the storeā€™s ability to create portable, filling meals, followed by a shrimp and egg combo enhanced with scallion and ketchup. The video ends on a sweet note with a milk-based ice cream sandwiched in a monaka wafer, called Milky Ice Monaka, appealing to traditional dessert fans.

Japanese konbini culture is famous for its ever-changing inventory, ensuring that customers never get bored. The reviewed items in this video spotlight how 7-Eleven Japan continues to deliver innovation, quality, and variety in its convenient food offerings.
