Trends in Tokyo
Finding the perfect onigiri
So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and I'm staying near Shinjuku. I've heard Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku is a popular spot, but I'm a picky eater. What's the deal with their onigiri selection… more
Family Mart's onigiri are...reliable. Not amazing, but consistently decent. You won't find anything wildly unusual there. Think standard salmon, tuna mayo, umeboshi (pickled plum) – that sort of thing. If you want something special, skip the convenience store. Hit up a local deli or even a slightly nicer supermarket; they'll often have more interesting fillings and higher-quality rice. Look for places with handwritten signs – those are usually the best bet for finding unique onigiri. You could even try a small restaurant specializing in rice dishes; they might offer some amazing variations you won't find anywhere else.
Finding Lawson's Secret Menu?
So I'm heading to @Tokyo soon and I've heard whispers about a secret menu at Lawson Three-F Okubo-dori – apparently, some locations have these insane limited-edition snacks that aren't advertised anyw… more
Pure luck, mostly. There's no official secret menu or fan club. Your best bet is just checking the Lawson app frequently – sometimes they’ll briefly mention limited stuff there. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot. Seriously, go in, browse, and hope for the best. Think of it as a delicious treasure hunt! Also, talking to the staff might help – sometimes they'll know about upcoming limited releases before they officially hit the app. Don't get your hopes too high though; finding that melon pan ice cream sandwich sounds like a mission worthy of a manga.
