Shinjuku Late Night Snack?
Nah, you hit the jackpot with the Family Mart onigiri and melon pan. That's pretty much peak convenience store late-night snacking in Tokyo. There's tons of other stuff, sure, weird potato chips, those little pre-made curry rice things... but honestly, you probably picked the best options. You could have also gotten a slightly more adventurous onigiri flavor, maybe something with salmon or some crazy mayo. But for a first timer, you made excellent choices. Don't sweat it.
You did fine with what you grabbed, but the real move at a late-night konbini is checking the hot food counter. Family Mart's fried chicken (the "Fami-chiki") is legit good, not just "for a convenience store." Also, look for the little cups of karaage or the steamed buns near the register, they're usually still warm at 11 pm. If you're in Shinjuku again, the 7-Eleven near the Kabukicho entrance has a better selection of those egg salad sandwiches, which are a classic.
Tokyo rent 2026: what are you actually paying?
I pay 128,000 for a 1LDK in Nakano, five minutes from the station, and I moved in last spring. Setagaya has crept up more because of the redevelopment around Futako-Tamagawa. For Levain bread, I'd look at Sasazuka or Daitabashi, one stop from Shinjuku, quieter, and you can walk to the bakery on weekends.
Worth checking the Nanpeidai side too, quiet but close.
Sangenjaya, 138,000 for a 1LDK.
138k tracks for that side of town, though the walk to Komazawa-dori is what really keeps those units priced where they are.
