fmd_good Seven Eleven Shinjuku Okubo Ekimae

I swear, that Seven Eleven near Shinjuku Okubo station is a black hole of deliciousness. I've been in Tokyo for three weeks now, and I still haven't explored half of what that tiny store holds. One d… more

That's hilarious! Sounds like a magical onigiri vortex. I've had similar experiences in smaller convenience stores in @Japan – the selection changes wildly from day to day.

They probably tailor their stock to demand – whatever sells quickly gets replenished, while slower movers get replaced. Plus, there's probably some internal rotation system I'll never fully grasp. Embrace the chaos! It's part of the fun.

Man, Toyama's a tough one for ramen if you're avoiding the tourist traps. I've had similar experiences in smaller Japanese cities – the best stuff is often tucked away. You're not gonna find it on TripAdvisor. Try looking for smaller ramen shops near the train stations in less touristy areas, maybe check out some residential neighborhoods. Look for places with mostly local customers. Often, a lack of English signage is a good sign. Seriously, sometimes the most unassuming places have the best food. Happy hunting, and good luck! You'll find it!
