For onigiri, I recommend Gombei (権米衛). It is a chain specialty onigiri shop, and many of its stores are located in station buildings or near stations. They have an English menu with vegan marks. Maybe, next time when you come to Tokyo!
Thank you for sharing this video. With the growing population of Vegan/Vegetarian, I believe every country should have rules that items should be marked with Vegan/Vegetarian symbols so it is easy to shop. It is already done in Switzerland. I hope more countries do so.
I hope so too! In Japan, there are currently three organisations competing in the business of selling the certified vegan/vegetarian symbols. I'm watching with interest to see how this situation develops.
You're so thoughtful to support company that don't test om animals Also, can you get onigiri with plum inside in convenience stores? I hope they're vegan. Onigiri with no fillings at all seems...sad.
Oh! plum onigiri are likely plant-based! I think they were out of stock the day I went shopping, and I don't like plums, so I forgot about them. Onigiri with no filling is actually better than before. They used be Onigiri with air filling! They used be empty inside! This is one of the famous "7-11's food trick arts". It became a hot topic on X, and it seems to have been changed. Hahaha.
I am not sure. The manufacture has their own brand and makes this same product. They have the same favors as the 7-11PB and many other flavors. Some of the other flavors are clearly labeled "No animal ingredients", but the same flavors as the 7-11ones are not. So I took that to mean they aren't plant based. I know they don't contain any obvious animal ingredients, but they contain "Japanese style seasoning mixture" or something like that. You can not tell what's in there without contacting the manufacturer. That's why I excluded them from this video.
At 7-Eleven, all their tofu bars contain fish dashi (unlisted on the ingredients; someone contacted the manufacturers to find out), except their current special which is a sweet chocolate tofu (this one is seasonal but is vegan).

Well, I am not disappointed in your video. ;)
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like the video!
This is very helpful, thank you very much! I was in Japan last year and it would have been nice to know about these, specially the onigiri!

I wasn't vegan/plant based last time i worked in Japan, but I'm moving back for work in March, and this is super helpful.
The fourth wall breaking from 1:44 caught me off guard lol. Thanks for the video!!
hope this info helps you! Even if it is not what you expected.
Will you do other Japanese convenience stores too? It’s very helpful!
Oneday when I have energy and money to do it... My next shopping video will be Life supermarket or Kaldi coffee bean shop.

I believe the plum onigiri was confirmed not vegan by 7/11 and Family Mart unfortunately :(
This really helpful! Can you also include price of the items? That'll be useful!
Very helpful, thank you!
😉
Great video, thank you!
Are the tofu bars not vegan? I know many flavors have bonito but I thought the hijiki and soy flavors were all plan based.
I am not sure.
