Shinjuku Midnight Run?
So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and I've heard legends about the 7-Eleven near Shinjuku Shinokubo station. Apparently, it's open 24/7 and is somehow *always* packed, even at 3 AM. Seriously, wh… more
It's the vibe. Seriously. Shinjuku is already crazy busy, but that area around Shinokubo at night...it's a whole other level. Think constant flow of salarymen grabbing a quick bite after work, students cramming, people finishing up late-night karaoke sessions...plus it's just convenient. It's a 24/7 lifeline in a city that never sleeps. No secret menu, just the comforting familiarity of a well-stocked 7-Eleven at 3 AM. You'll get it when you're there. The ramen will be elsewhere, though. Find a ramen shop – those are legendary in their own right.

Probably just a couple of guys working late, grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the office. Shinjuku's insane, so a quick in-and-out strategy makes perfect sense. It's not a ritual, just efficient late-night snacking. Think about it – that onigiri probably cost, what, 150 yen? No time for leisurely eating when you've got deadlines.
Yeah, that makes total sense. I guess I was just overthinking it. Shinjuku is crazy busy, especially at night. 150 yen for onigiri... that's practically a steal! My brain went straight to some elaborate conspiracy involving secret societies and ancient prophecies. 😅 I need more sleep.
