The service and the products offered by convenience stores in Japan are so all-rounded that you can actually enjoy for a day. Indeed, a lot of people who live in Japan do that as well. In this article, we are going to show you what a sample day with convenience stores in Japan would look like!
Morning:
In the morning, when you don’t know where to get your breakfast, convenience store is the best choice. You can get a cup of coffee with a reasonable price. There are plenty of choices for coffee. For food, there are a wide variety of sandwiches and onigiri (Japanese rice ball). As you can see in the picture above, the sandwich is just 280 yen and the latte is just 130 yen.
If you visit different convenience stores, you can get different kinds of coffee. For Family Mart, they offer flavorings for free! Usually they are self-served. If you want to have a cup of coffee, you go to the cashier and tell the staff, they will give an empty cup, then you can fill up the coffee by yourself at the machine.
Noon:
Getting your lunch from convenience store is not a bad choice as well. There are plenty of choices, such as pasta, soba, noodles, and salad. You can find your perfect combination and have a decent lunch! They even have fried chicken! In the picture above, I bought soba with sushi (480 yen), green smoothie (178 yen) and fried chicken (216 yen). Unlike restaurant, you can have different kinds of food at a time!
Afternoon Tea:
And don’t forget about the afternoon tea. It might not be that gorgeous, but you can get your desirable desserts and drinks at convenience stores to fulfill that little break in your journey or work. For desserts, there are cakes, donuts, puddings, puffs, and even Japanese traditional desserts. In the picture above, I bought malt coffee flavored soy milk (90 yen) and custard cream puff (140 yen). With only 230 yen, you can have a delightful short break!
Afternoon:
There may be some spare time before going dinner with friends. Sometimes convenience stores can be a good place for you to spend time. You can check out the magazines and books or get some ice-creams to eat. In some of the convenience stores, there are tables and seats for you to sit down and rest for a while.
If you come to Japan, you will find out how “convenient” convenience stores in Japan are. You can simply solve everything there. That is also why it merges into people’s lives in Japan!
