Monday Moment: Recent Convenience Store Finds

Now that the seasons are changing here in Tokyo that means that a lot of the convenience stores are swapping out their seasonal items. I decided to compile some of the things I’ve seen and tried and want to try.

The first thing I tried were these drinks. I tried the sangria sparkling from Canada Dry which tasted more like a grape juice then a sangria. It was still really delicious and I recommend it if you like grape juice. I also tried this new fanta flavor, fanta brings out seasonal flavors very often and this time it is mango charge. If you gave me this and had me guess what flavor it was I don’t think I would have picked mango but it was still really good. I recommend if you’re in Japan you try it because its hard to know how long they’ll be carrying them.

I always am checking the ice cream flavors. Personally i think 7/11 has the best ice creams, which is sad for me cause there are not many near where I live. But! I saw they had strawberry and dark chocolate papico ice creams, i’ve never seen these before and will definitely be trying them. The reason I didn’t get one of those was because I found this brownie sandwich, which filled all of my cravings for an ice cream sandwich. This was one of the things I really missed about the US!

Finally something I haven’t tried is the new pringles flavors! They came out with an american cheese burger (not pictured), Yaki soba and ramen flavors! I’m a little hesitant to try these so I’m waiting to have someone to try them with. If I try them I will let you know what I think.

Have you seen any of these on your travels to Japan? If you have what did you try?
