"Yes, 7-Eleven in Japan - it's home to shockingly good food. In case you didn't know, convenience stores (konbini) are a huge part of the culture in Japan. Unlike the US, where convenience store food wouldn't necessarily be the first pick for a tasty meal, Japan's konbinis provide some really great-tasting options for meals and snacks, catering to the lifestyles of busy people who don't have time to cook."
"To be clear, I didn't think the sandwich was bad. Thanks to the Kewpie mayo, the egg salad had a light, savory flavor. It wasn't too rich, and it paired nicely with the slightly sweet, soft milk bread. If I had to give the Japanese sandwiches a rating, I'd give them a 9/10. They really were that good, and I'm already dreaming about the next time I can go back to Tokyo to get my hands on one."
Japanese 7-Eleven stores serve exceptionally good convenience food and play a central role in konbini culture, providing tasty, ready-to-eat options for busy people. 7-Eleven US released a Japanese-style egg salad sandwich inspired by the viral Tamago Sando, which attracts travelers to Japan. A taste test found the US version to be enjoyable; Kewpie mayo added a light, savory quality that complemented slightly sweet milk bread. The original Tamago Sando received a high rating (9/10) for its balance and flavor, leaving a strong desire to return to Tokyo for another taste.
