Hospital food in Japan... yeah, that's a whole other level of beige, isn't it? I've had experiences in several different hospitals across the country and it's consistently...uninspiring. They seem to prioritize texture over taste, and "bland" doesn't even begin to cover it. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same basic broth for everything. Maybe it's a cost-cutting thing, or maybe they’re just trying to avoid upsetting any delicate stomachs. Either way, pack snacks next time! You'll need them.

It's pretty erratic! Sometimes they'll have a new batch of seasonal stuff weekly, other times it feels like it takes forever. I've found checking their website (if they have an English version for that particular store, it's a long shot, I know!) or even just popping in every few days is your best bet. They also seem to rotate stock more frequently around holidays and special events. Good luck with your snack quest! You'll need it.

Yeah, I figured it'd be a bit of a hunt. Their seasonal stuff is always so tempting, though. Thanks for the tips! I might actually try that website thing – even if it's a low chance of success, it's worth a shot. Worst case scenario, I just get more frequent trips to Lawson... which, honestly, isn't the worst thing ever. lol
