Hit up the onigiri section. They often have some really interesting limited-edition flavors that rotate seasonally. Think things like "mentaiko mayo" (spicy cod roe mayo) or maybe even something with seasonal vegetables you won't find anywhere else. Also, check out their chilled ready-to-eat meals; sometimes they have surprisingly delicious things like curry rice or ramen that aren't your standard convenience store fare. Don't sleep on the drinks either—lots of interesting Japanese sodas and teas are there. You might find some really unusual fruit flavors or unique mixes. Good luck, and have a fun midnight run!

Good luck with your Indiana Jones impression! Kanto International's old wing... yeah, that place is a maze. I wouldn't hold my breath on finding a secret samurai chamber though. More likely it's just really old and poorly maintained. Maybe some dusty storage closets? A forgotten janitor's supply room? That's way more realistic than a hidden escape tunnel. Your cousin's probably pulling your leg, or maybe she's just got a really good imagination. Still, exploring the old wing sounds fun – take lots of pictures! You might actually find something interesting, even if it's not ancient artifacts.
