I've been watching "Strictly Dumpling" on YouTube these days.
The channel operated by Mike Chen has various playlists, and one of them titled "7-Eleven" is very interesting to me.
There are a lot of 7-ELEVEn convenience stores here in Japan They're so familiar.
He mentions their Japanese egg salad sandwiches The scene starts around 18:48 in the video above.
He praises Japanese egg salad sandwiches around 18:11 in the video above.
Not only these two but others posted by him show that he really likes them
Then they made me feel like eating them. I've been to 7 ELEVEn a lot of times in my life, but didn't remember if I'd tried the item before.
I got it
They were fluffy and tasted good But I was also surprised that those simple sandwiches amaze people from other countries
Japan has seen a serious egg shortage for several reasons, and one of them is this:
I hope it will end as soon as possible.
By the way...
They were doing Korean Groumet Fair
South Korea is spelled as "大韓民国" in Japanese kanji characters, and the country's called "韓国", Kankoku, in our daily lives.
It started on May 9 this year. But I've just found a news post on their official website has already gone, so it may have ended.
I tried many of Korean food and beverages while they lasted.
Grilled Pork Ribs🐖
The thick meats went well with rice Simple dish but good.
Yukgaejang Ramen🐄
I love noodles, and Ramen is no exception But I prefer the other two noodles appearing later in this blog post.
Well, I remember I liked Yukgaejang udon noodles I sometimes ate at my favorite Korean eatery in Tokyo, so I like Yukgaejang itself Well, my favorite item there was always Samgyetang
Injeolmi, or "Rice Cakes with Brown Sugar Syrup".
The English names I've put below the photos are not official ones for the items, except sweets.
As the photos show, their sweets for the fair have official names on their packages, so I've mentioned them like "~".
Dalgona Coffee Melty Milk Pudding, or "Milk Pudding & Coffee"
This pudding was beyond my expectation It was awesome, and made me get it again.
The pudding was sold out at a first location I went to, so I came by another one, too
I heard the item was very popular when they released it before. No wonder.
Bibim-guksu, or Korean Cold Spicy Mixed Noodles.
This item was delicious At first, I felt it looked a bit too small for me, but I was stuffed after eating it.
Its cold noodles were chewy. They went well with its spicy sauce.
Kimuchi-Jjigae Udon Noodles
Next, hot noodles. This one was also tasty
Korean Bibimbap topped with a Japanese Hot Spring Egg, or Onsen Tamago.
I love Onsen Tamago in general
Sweet & Spicy Bulgogi Bowl
This was also good
Rice bowl topped with meats and various vegetables
Alcoholic Drinks.
I've tried Peach Makgeolli, but haven't Strawberry drink yet
I like "Milk Pudding & Coffee" the best This was much better than I'd expected
