Crunky is a long time favorite of many. I am not sure this strawberry cheese tart version will beat out the original, but nice try. I think someone suggested on Twitter that I pick up a NY Cheese cake from @Famima_now. This is as close as I got to that.
Lawson have launched their line of premium sweets under the name Uchi Cafe Sweets. This premium eclair looks particularly tempting. The photo doesn't really do it justice. It looks a lot better in real life.
Beer and Chu-hi are popular items at the conbini. This Chu-hi offering from Suntory is a limited sale for winter only. Get your cherry cola and lime ginger ale Chu-hi down you at -196 degrees celsius.
There have been quite a few soba-cha drinks coming on to the market. Here are 2 different types, one from Ito-en and one from Suntory. There are quite a few people with Soba allergies so they will have to stay clear of this one.

haha great ! I was actually about to suggest the alcoholic drinks (but lacked time) and here you have Chi-hi food photography already ! What is your favorite beer ? Mine is Asahi – anybody else here have any favorite Japanese beer or otherwise alcoholic drink ?
LOL. nice suggestion. beer and shady magazines. A few years ago I could have stood i the store and read them all. Now, the shady ones have a plastic wrap on them so you can’t see inside food photography (Tokyo Metropolitan ordinance), and many stores have put up signs saying no standing and reading unless you are buying. Shame really. Some things were better the old way
I wonder if “sparkling” is going to be the next fad. You saw sparking tea, I sampled a “sparkling strawberry” KitKat. That’d be pretty interesting, wouldn’t it? Personally, I’d buy a “sparkling” onigiri if they managed food photography it.
I like to drink the Suntory whisky and water in a can. I’m drinking some as I type this. I’m also planning to snap up a choccobo Final Fantasy XIII can before I return to London. But the thing I REALLY want to know is where all the free gifts have gone that used to hang from bottles and coffee cans? I found one Sencha Panda Sensei on a rubber duck mascot on a Kirin Sencha food photography bottle but that’s food photography it. I’ve tried all the combini outlets in Shinjuku almost.
I didn’t have more luck than you back in October when I was in Tokyo. The only free gifts I saw packaged with drinks were some mascots for a green tea, and tiny cars (replicas of Tamiya R/C buggies from the 80’s) with cans of coffee.
Ooh! I love Crunky! Hope that they have the strawberry cheese tart flavor over here. I’ll definitely try it. And the Uchi Cafe eclair looks really really good! I’m food photography feeling hungry already haha.
RT @Shibuya246: Conbini Monday Wk32, Japan Conbini Monday | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/BWYd Ahh Rilakkuma and Christmas goodies. At Lawsons of course. Is that UCC coffee a 3/pk or a 6/pk? Have only had 1 can before, and it was bought at the Mitsukoshi store at Disney World. in Orlando. It really tasted good. I noticed the nabisco container next to the calbee one, is that a Chips Ahoy cookie container? Just how dry tasting is -196C? Everything in this article is making me very hungry and thirsty at the moment, knew I should have not skipped breakfast. I can taste that eclair now nom,nom,nom… Well have a great week.
Where do I start?
I may just take you up on the offer to get my Pocky fix! Its impossible to get in Australia and my wife thinks I’m mad for obsessing about it! (Have tried a Korean knockoff my local Asian store stocks but its nothing like the real thing!)
Im not a sweet/lollies/candy type of person but I just feel in love with Japanese Confectionery! (esp. Pocky and Crunky- was a staple for our train trips, food photography esp. the Shinkansen….spent many hours on the Bullet Train with Pocky to keep me company!)
based on the prices above, food photography would be willing to spend between AU$30-40 dollars (YEN 25,000-30,000??) on ‘stuff’+postage+a thankyou gift for yourself as Im sure you can use some more Rilakkuma!!) (maybe AU$60-70 in total??) which should get me 10-12 boxes of pocky+ a some boxes of crunky! (conversion rates kind of factored in…)
Based on prices above, would spend about AU30-40/YEN 25,000-30,000 to get 10-13 boxes of Pocky plus some crunky. Factor in postage+ a small gift for you as Im sure you can use some more Rilakkuma(!!!), Im guessing AU$65-75 should hopefully cover it!
Seriously, food photography you should food photography hone in on J-Lists action here!! My Rilakkuna that was given to me by the staff at one of the Lawson’s in Kyoto! [img]http://shibuya246.com/wp-content/upload/Photo food photography on 2009-12-16 at 16.12 2.jpg[/img]
