JAPAN’S CONVENIENCE STORE SHOWDOWN - Which One Has the Best Food?

This video compares the three major convenience store chains in Japan to determine which offers the best food. Follow me on Instagram: @dneyts Tokyo’s city center, especially Shinjuku, is a lively district filled with neon lights, shopping, and endless activity. Scattered throughout are thousands of convenience stores, or 'konbini,' which play a vital role in daily life. Tokyo has over 7,600 konbini, while Japan boasts more than 58,000, with most stores operating 24/7 for unmatched convenience. 15 Minute City: Japan's urban planning is a perfect example of the "15-minute city" concept, where residents can access essential services within a short walk or bike ride. FamilyMart, Japan's second-largest convenience store chain, was established in 1973, with its first store opening in Sayama, Saitama. The company expanded internationally, operating over 24,000 stores worldwide by 2023. Its signature Famichiki dish—crispy, juicy, boneless fried chicken—has a cult following and is one of Japan's most popular konbini snacks. With a balance of quality, innovation, and affordability, FamilyMart: FamilyMart has steadily expanded its operations beyond Japan, growing into a global convenience store chain with over 24,000 locations worldwide. A key factor in FamilyMart’s success is its ability to balance quality, innovation, and affordability. In addition to a wide selection of food and beverages, the store offers essential household goods and financial services. By continuously evolving and adapting to customer needs, FamilyMart remains a top choice for convenient, high-quality products at reasonable prices. Lawsons: Lawson, one of Japan’s top convenience store chains, originally started in Ohio, USA, in 1939 as a dairy store before expanding to Japan in 1975. It stands out among Japan’s konbini chains for its focus on premium-quality food and exclusive specialty products. To date, Lawson operates over 11,384 stores. In 2014, the company announced plans to open stores specifically designed for elderly consumers. This focus has helped the chain remain a household name, known for its high-quality ready-made meals, including fresh bentos, onigiri, and gourmet pasta. One of its most popular items is "Karaage-kun," a bite-sized fried chicken snack loved for its crispy texture and variety of flavors. 7-Eleven: 7-Eleven first originated in Dallas, Texas, in 1927, but its expansion into Japan in 1974 turned it into the world’s leading convenience store brand. Operated by Seven & i Holdings, Japan’s 7-Eleven now has over 21,000 stores, far surpassing its U.S. counterpart. Known for its high-quality ready-made meals, it offers fresh onigiri, premium bentos, and seasonal desserts. Its 7-Premium line emphasizes gourmet-quality products, offering higher-quality food and drinks while still maintaining reasonable prices.
