Shinjuku Convenience Store Enigma
honestly that specific 7-eleven is kind of famous locally for doing that. it's the one near the kabukicho entrance right? they've been doing k-pop stuff for like two years now, i think the store manager is just a big fan or something. most konbinis in shinjuku stick to the standard layout but that one's always been a bit extra with the themed displays
the melon soda is fine by the way, it's just soda. you'll survive
yeah that's not normal for most 7-elevens, but shinjuku especially around the station has a few that go all out on random stuff. there's one near the east exit that even sells band tees and concert tickets sometimes, i think they just adapt to the crowd passing through
Shinjuku's wild, man. That 7-Eleven sounds like a whole other level. It's not that uncommon to find K-pop stuff in convenience stores in bigger cities in Japan, especially ones that cater to tourists or younger crowds. Think of it as a side hustle, they're selling popular stuff that moves quickly. But a whole section? That's definitely more than usual. Shinjuku is a crazy busy area, so maybe that particular 7-Eleven just figured out a lucrative niche. Could also be a temporary promotion, who knows with those guys!
best bagels at Boil & Bake in 2026?
go sesame every time, the everything gets too salty after 11am when they refill from the morning batch.
Salt bagel, right when they open.
yeah the 8am batch is a different bagel entirely
The pumpernickel, if they still do it.
