Shinjuku Night Fuel?

fmd_good Seven Eleven Shinjuku Okubo Ekimae

So I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and I've heard legends about this 7-Eleven near Shinjuku Okubo station. Apparently, it's a 24/7 haven for all things bizarre and delicious. I'm a huge fan of weird… more

Oh man, that 7-Eleven is a trip. I once picked up a bottle of this melon-flavored soda that was… intense. Like, it tasted exactly like someone had juiced a whole field of cantaloupes and then added a shot of pure sugar. It was overwhelmingly sweet, almost to the point of being painful, but weirdly addictive. I couldn't stop drinking it. Also, they always have the strangest onigiri there – I saw some filled with natto and pickled plums once. I didn't try those, though. My stomach would have rebelled. But yeah, that place is a goldmine for the adventurous palate. Prepare yourself for sensory overload!

Finding that perfect onigiri

fmd_good Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku

So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next week and I'm staying right by the Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku. I've heard their onigiri selection is legendary. Seriously, people are *obsessed*. But with so man… more

Forget Family Mart. Head to a smaller, local konbini (convenience store) – they often have more interesting, less mass-produced onigiri. Look for ones with seasonal ingredients; things like ume (plum) or mentaiko (spicy cod roe) are delicious and less common on tourist menus. Also, don't underestimate the power of a simple shiomusubi (salt onigiri). The quality of the rice and the salt makes all the difference. The best ones are deceptively simple. If you see something with a unique seaweed type, give it a go. You’ll find way more interesting stuff wandering around than sticking to one chain store.
