Thanks for adding the poll!

Can I take credit for coming up with the idea to rank conbinis? After all, I was the first one to rank them, in my reply to the Circle-K bentos post.

It is a toss-up between am-pm and Lawson. There was an awesome Lawson in my old office building with the largest selection of bentos I had ever seen. But am-pm seems to be offering better hot bentos, without preservatives. Disclaimer: I have an am-pm in my own building, but it sucks. I guess I got stuck with a runt version of a real am-pm store.

y'all best recognize--its all about SUNKUS!

naze nara//
one day on a trip to buy some GARIGARI kun, the clerk behind the counter rang me up and instead of giving me the standard lifeless 'arigatou gozaimasu' he just smiled and said, 'sankusu'!

I was laughing my ass off. you just can't beat SUNKUS-- fine service AND quality dajyare

I sense a new poll: Which conbini pushes the best/most booze and Pr0n? I think Lawson may have the best selection of both, but I can't remember. It's not like I would actually BUY that sort of thing. :biggrin2:

Didn't expect you to actually follow-through with a new poll. But I laughed real hard when I saw the pornbini poll. Thanks, you step-and-fetchit beyatch!!! :lol:

I frequent family Mart. I think it's my favorite because.....it's rigth down stairs. Also I do enjoy saying it....Famuri Ma-to. Just sounds rigtht to me.

my original favorite was circle K.

In Aomori prefecture, there was only Circle Ks around at first. Then Lawson showed up then Sankusu.

Lawson was just downright awesome.

What about Mini-Stop. They're few and far between (at least in my area) but make fresh sandwiches, chicken, pizza (although microwaved), etc, while you wait - sometimes a bit of a wait but way better than the packaged similar stuff at other Konbinis. Not a lot in the way of good Japanese bentos though.

Anyone else heard of Seicomart?

I havent and I lived in Aomori-ken

Is this just a Hokkaido combini?

by **katakori** » Fri Mar 28, 2003 2:58 pm

i honestly think lawson is the best because of their awesome new gourmet onigiri, but (some) am pm features muji stuff, including dried natto. i think this is the coolest thing i have found in a combini really
