I love the Japanese convenience stores, the “convenie”. My first visits to Japan, they fed me so much raw and alive stuff. I thought I would starve. Till I discovered the “Convenie”.

They bring in fresh food 3 times a day. It has so many drinks, not just the US version of Coke, Dr Pepper, Sprite, water, energy drinks, and orange juice.

In Japan, there are every kind of juice, like blueberry juice, teas, iced coffees, on and on. There are fresh cooked food, all kinds of desserts, from crepes to cream puffs, many types of baked goods.

All Japanese hotel rooms have a hot water maker. There are these individual drip coffee packages, with a little filter that fits over your cup.

Everything to eat as well as toiletries you may have forgotten and various office supplies.

The convenie was a huge discovery for me and my time in Japan.
