Lawson's stock varies wildly, even between stores in the same area. Your best bet is just going and checking. I've found the ones near major transport hubs like that Okubo-dori one sometimes have a better selection of the limited edition stuff, because of higher turnover. But don't count on it. It's a gamble, my friend, a delicious, Pocky-flavored gamble. Good luck!

Shinjuku Nightlife?

Yeah, Daily Yamazaki's a beast after hours. Good luck getting onigiri before the salarymen swarm in! As for that neon-green melon soda... Konbinis are a lottery. Some have the weirdest stuff, others are disappointingly normal. Your best bet is hitting a few different ones near Golden Gai. Don't expect to find it at every 7-Eleven or FamilyMart. Prepare for disappointment, but the hunt is half the fun! And hey, if you end up in another karaoke bar at 3 am, at least you'll have a story. Maybe try to avoid the Journey this time though... someone might call the police.
