So its friday and the markets are dull. But usually when I'm busy and gotta work late nights, I do it the banker way and grab bento. I usually hit up the 5th floor Lawson in Mori tower. Thing that sucks is that they don't sell gohan-bento, its all this new-age bullshit for the women, sorta like Natural Lawson. All noodles and salad and shit. I hate that. Need carbs and supersaturated-fats!

Anyways, I wanna know your favorite conbini food is.

Here are mine:

Word, I hate Natural Lawsons (like regular Lawson and Family Mart best), and I swear by melon-pan but can't really get down with curry bread

...stuff I do like:

Negitoro Onigiri

Went straight to my Lawson in my apartment after spending 3 weeks in India...

nothing like TunaMayo and small cold ocha to get the lingering curry taste out of my mouth..

EDIT: there was a Natural Lawsons near my work place.. sold this new age power drink which I liked but the place closed and its now a pizza place

EDIT2: Hey raj, is the JPY/USD going to stay above 108 over the weekend? I got dollars coming in next week.

hey how come everything has to be excessively packaged in japan?

like, i hear some chocolates have like packaging for each individual chocolate laid on a tray that has indents for each chocolate which is then inserted in a huge box with a ribbon.

Oh man I miss this. So good.

Do you ppl read Konbini Life? He used to review new shit in konbinis. I haven't looked at it since I left Japan though.

Don't know about Konbini Life but Trendy magazine does feature specials on specific types of cobini foodlike microwaveable rice, specific types of bento, etc., and ranks em by tastiness, cost, best value, healthiness, etc. Good shit.
