Totally agreed with you guys. Lawson, Family Mart, 7 Eleven in Japan are the best (maybe in the world). 7 Elevens in Singapore are borderline OK (manageable) but Japan's 7-11s are the best. Been to 7-11s in Taiwan, USA, Malaysia, HK, Germany (very few) ...and they are good but again.. Japan's is still the best. No question about it.
@@danmecha 7-11 In South Korea kind of sucks. Primarily for the lack of Slurpee's. I found myself going to the GS stores. McDonalds was actually pretty decent. Especially the Shanghai Spice chicken sandwich. The best was the Dutch Frico at Lotteria.
So awesome running into you at the Tsukiji market! Thanks again for stopping to take a pic with the wife and I. We love your videos keep up the awesome work my mans!
I've been studying as an international student in Japan for a while now, and actually being able to physically acquire the food showcased in one of these videos is surreal.
@@niamhcullen4377 For convenience store food, it is actually incredible. Mapo tofu in particular, most of the bento type items there in fact are super tasty, and unless you're accustomed to asian convenience stores you wouldn't beileve it's stuff you pick up at a 7-11
I knew you would go back to Japan as soon as they allowed foreigners to come back and you didn't disappoint~ Can't wait to see where you would take us, and also hoping to go back there myself in near future! 🤩
For a moment I felt sad to not be seeing Mike in Singapore, and then bam... this food glory just took over. Jealous of the eats in this episode! Japan knows what's up.
As I got older and diagnosed with (high blood pressure), I've learned to watch the sodium. Man did Mike intake a load of them. Be careful on the consumption, running alone won't save you.💯
Heyy!! As someone who truly enjoys your content I can tell that you have a soft spot for instant food. Seeing as how often you do instant noodles. Well, I got one for you... Can you do one on comparing all the different frozen mandoo/gyoza/dumplings? They're everywhere at practically all Asian stores, like H Mart, Uwajimaya, etc.
AG1 is great if you live in the US I'm sure. But I live in Australia and for people who actually live close by to where it's made, we get screwed pretty hard. The HQ and where they sell from is actually in Delaware I believe. So if someone from Australia or NZ wants to buy this 'NZ' product. It's actually USD not AUD. By the time you take into account shipping costs of sending it there and back plus the exchange rate. It's like $150 AUD a month. Plus the whole proprietary blend things makes me not particularly trustworthy of them. They have this massive ingredient list, but don't actually disclose amounts to you. So there's a good chance there is a number of ingredients that are are in such small quantities, you're not actually getting any benefit from it, but that way they get to throw it in their ingredient list and show it off.
Years ago (about 1997), buddy of mine told that what made “7-Japan” so good is that they avoid putting preservatives in their food. And that egg sandwich is incomparable!!
I remember a time when Mikey was apprehensive about eating raw fish eggs (though they're salt-cured). Now he doesn't hesitate to grab some mentaiko fish eggs. Good thing broadening your palate. 👍
@@absoluteanarchy3031 Remembering a small comment he made in a video or his consistency in expressing his changing opinions on food in his content isn’t weird, it’s having brain capacity. I’m not sure what’s wrong with you, but I do hope you get better, very unhealthy mindset.
@AbsoluteAnarchy There are millions of subscribers who follow and are a “fan of” his and watch almost every video he posts because they find them interesting. It isn’t hard to then find out what someone prefers to eat and leave out simply because everything is food related. That is not stalker mentality.. People enjoy watching his content and remember his comments.
I gasped with excitement when I saw Mikey was back in Japan! So happy for him!! I was thinking it would be easy for him to hop over from Singapore! Super excited for more videos to come!
I'm going on a kinda budget solo trip to Tokyo Japan sometime in May (I like the budget aspect of this trip). I'll be staying at a Kaikatsu Club, and I like the idea of having breakfast at a 7-Eleven. (Rice Balls, and Egg, some chocolate milk) Then at lunch I'll eat at a ramen place, then for Dinner I'll get one of those discounted dinner meals, and some pudding, and other deserts. My God, this is gonna be fun. And not to mention. The many other options at 7-Eleven. (Or simply the discount meals will be my 4th meal. Yeah, I think I'm eating 4 times during my trip.) Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Midnight. Breakfast + Midnight Meal from 7-Eleven, and Lunch + Dinner at restaurants. 50/50
7-11 is no joke in Japan. I personally think the taste of pasta in 7-11 beats 80% of the pasta you can get from a dine in restaurant in north American.
I’ll probably be saying this for the rest of my life…. I’m so jealous of everything the Japanese have… ESPECIALLY the convenience stores. If I could spend only one day in japan it would be me hitting up every convenience store I can find and eating everything I could.
Then find a way to spend time there. Learn the language a little, apply for a job. They are looking for a lot of workers. Prepare for a year and you can live there for 6 months to a year. Really not as hard as people think.
@@joejohnson8966 thats what I'm planning to do this year. Its always been my dream to travel to Japan but never really set clear goals and action to get there. I'm gonna save up this year and take my aging father to see the world out there.. He's my motivation. Planning for Japan trip 2023 in November.
I remember feeling sad watching his last Japan video during the start of the pandemic when he had to leave. Now seeing Mike back in Japan, just feels right.
Hey Mike 👋🏼...I can't wait to get my first order of Japanese snacks crate. You inspired me and my love for food/snacks from the places where I would like to go someday. Thank you for the inspiration. Keep traveling please!☆☆..your number one fan!😇💫💯
Please try Seico Mart if you can found one! It’s a Hokkaido’s staple convenient store. It’s pretty cheap compared to other brand but that’s mostly because they sell local product and how they are the service of local communities more. Food and deserts wise I recommend Seico mart better. Try their Soft Cream Hokkaido, the best!
he is living all our fantasies of being extremely hungry, going to a convenience store and picking all the foods you crave and being able to finish it all without wasting the food
I KNEW it, I have been waiting for you to go back to Japan since they re-opened. That just shows how much content in your queue...like 7 weeks of Singapore content a few times a week.
I remember when you wouldn't drink coffee. For me, coffee ice cream was my gateway to drinking coffee. Coffee jelly with condensed milk is yummy - I had it at a local Japanese restaurant here in Canada.
Glad you were able to come back to the convenience store of your dreams 😂 also I appreciate your videos cus now I have more context (as a picky eater) for what I would definitely try when I hit the local 7
To be honest Mike, I like these kinds of videos the most. "Let's eat through an all-you-can-eat Lobster buffet normal people need to sell a kidney to get into" is fun and all but does not have the same charm or relatability as vids like this or fast food regional menus.
I’m glad that Mickie said he has a jog and watches the quantity of food he has in the evening...I’ve always wondered how the heck he keeps trim with all the food he packs away.
@@alexthai5223 I reckon they’re useful if you’re vitamin deficient. Otherwise you’re just making expensive piss. Somehow I doubt malnutrition is an issue for Mikey though 😆
@@alexthai5223 Buy some spirulina that's literally the main ingredient of AG and much cheaper solo and some good multivitamins, can be liquid or pill form. No need for such an expensive product
It's amazing that one of the things I miss the most from being in Japan is the good food from the 7-Elevens. Living in Cali, it's one of those things that just stands out so strongly as being missing.
16:45, if the rice was noodles and the cheese inside the steak was an egg yolk, then Mikey would have recreated a dish from shoukugeki no soma/food wars using 7 11 food, which would have been awesome 😎😎

Yes I agree, and I think South Korea has great convenience stores too
@@TebiCr Taiwan has some nice ones too but I still think Japan wins!

I think it probably also has to do with 7-11 originally being a Japanese store before opening up in America back then. Least from what I remember

These 7 Eleven type videos are among my favorites.
Congratulations you have been selected among the lucky winners🎊🎊
So cool to see you back in Japan. Thank you for starting the tour with a binge trip to 7-11!
The food in the Japanese 711 is just on another level.. it all looks pretty delicious to me . Great video Mikey❤❤

Next time you go to Japan. They will have Premium Diamond products or Premium Platinum products. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇯🇵
Or even better.. Premium PREMIUM products. 😌

Doubt that's the only thing lol. The quality of the ingredients themselves are on a whole nother atmosphere than Western 7-11.

Have waited 3 years for Mike to be back in Japan. Let the videos begin.
21:45 good to know.
Mikey's like a child in a candy store, whenever he visits a 711 store.
this I completely agree and he always goes overboard buying stuff
He has a binge eating disorder clearly
@pineapplepetcorneats well he makes a shit ton from you the viewers.
If you have been in a proper Asian convenience store/hypermarket, you understand.
@@SatieSatie I suppose you are right.

Just received your extra hot garlic chili oil. Absolutely AMAZING. I highly recommend it. So good.
I like how Mike mixed different food together and acts like he cured cancer when he tastes it😂😂
Mike, you're supposed to remove the topping from the upper tray into the bottom layer before microwaving, JFYI.
Don't feel bad, Mike! I, too have a hard time controlling myself while in certain places such as bookstores, and grocery stores!

Seriously, I don’t think I’d fly all the way to Tokyo just to eat Japanese 7-11 food but hey, whatever rocks your world!
