In the UK we have a thing called a “toastie” which is a sealed filled sandwich which is toasted in a special grill. The grill seals the bread, and you end up with a crisp outside and a bubbling hot interior (usually involves cheese). I could imagine dropping those kombini sandwiches in a toaster and getting the same result. Might kick the flavour up a bit.
This is funny, I'm on vacation in Tokyo and just yesterday I grabbed some sandwiches at the Lunch Pack shop in the Tsukuba Express Akihabara Station. I grabbed 3 flavors, forgetting that each one had two sandwiches in them, basically buying myself a whole picnic for lunch;
I grew up with margerine as well. Even today it's popular here. We always have a soy based margerine in the fridge. It's a bit more firmer then regular margerine but is just as easy to spread. In Japan as a student I had always a gew in my kitchen because it was an easy meal to tske with me when I forgot to make lunch. Now I don't eat much bread and could live with only noodles and rice, but I always have a few because my husband and daughter would rather eat bread sometimes. besides some sweet ones for breakfast I usually buy the korokke or menchi katsu ones. I would definitely try the kabocha gratin, chili taco and yakisoba. I remember my husband going to the supermarket alone one time. Always fun since he cannot read Japanese at all. He brought back a lunch pack he thought was ham and cheese, but it was ham and mayo. Tasty though, especially toasted.
I'd really like that as well! Most of these seems like they would be even better if toasted or lightly fried. I always do sandwiches like these in the waffle iron as it gets really crispy 😁
Loved this food review, those sandwiches look so delicious, so many great choices, I would love trying all of them and the prices are really reasonable. Thanks so much for another wonderful video. Hope you have a great day, arigato, stay safe and happy, sending love and hugs, bye!! 😂🤗👍💜
These lunch packs always fascinate me. I'm afraid I'd go crazy trying all the savory flavors and have to start wearing sweatpants to allow for my expanding sandwich belly. 🤣 And what reasonable prices! If we had vending machines with these sandwiches in U.S. cities, fewer people would go hungry. Thanks for this, guys. ❤❤
So here is a question that makes me always wonder, how are some of those sandwiches not completely soggy when you get them? I make sandwiches for lunch and by lunchtime the bread is soggy no matter what I do unless I toast it hard first. I wonder if its just something different with Japanese bread?
I'd dearly like to try these sandwiches someday. On another note, a bit of trivia about Margarine, it was originally made to be used as a cheap feed for turkeys, it failed, and, Margarine is also just one molecule away from being a polymer.
Try freezing the sweet ones and then half thawing them to eat them. I find pocket sandwiches like that are good that way. We have something similar here and it comes with Nutella inside. I eat it half thawed after freezing it. That is when it is the best. The chocolate is still snappy and crispy but easy to eat. I love the honey and peanut butter one that way too. The peanut butter is snappy and crispy but the honey is just jellified. Sooo tasty.

You guys really bring me such happiness. Going through a rough time and watching your videos are a comfort :)

Ooh now I am craving a tuna sandwich!
I love yakisoba pan and I had margarine and strawberry jam sandwiches in my Japanese nursery school in Okinawa.
When I lived in Tokyo, I always saw the peanut butter crème, chocolate, and strawberry jam
since you get 2 sandwiches you should toast one and do a comparison test to see if they are better toasted or plain.
Oh, man, all of these looked so good, but just the idea of that last one had my pancreas doing somersaults!
Hi guys thanks for sharing video with us all take care stay safe take care 😘😘❤️👍
Those look quite nice for being from a supermarket.
YUM....loved it, and like 90% of these would have been amazing in the waffle iron, lol. Will it waffle??? YES it will 😀
Ohhh that might be fun to do
This was fun
They are all yummy to me 💛 sandwiches are my favorite.
Very interesting flavors. Your both looking great. Hello from Fresno California. It's 6:30 pm. Dinner time.😊👍
I would love to try them all! I have had the lunch packs before and they were great. I would like to try the yakisoba and the chili tacos. 😋

I’d be interested in watching a round two but with everything toasted. 😅

Ohhh I wanna try so many of these!! :D Im now in the mood for a sandwich haha.
Love their sandwiches .. the bread is so soft … prefer their egg sandwich than the other popular one which I find too rich /buttery
Just got back from Japan and I bought a strawberry margarine and a peanut sandwich from yamazaki.
So here is a question that makes me always wonder, how are some of those sandwiches not completely soggy when you get them? I make sandwiches for lunch and by lunchtime the bread is soggy no matter what I do unless I toast it hard first. I wonder if its just something different with Japanese bread?
I know right? I’m always amazed
I wonder how the Taco and Yakisoba would have tasted toasted!
And the Ham and cheese cream!

Japan is the best country in the world

Since these are shelf-stable, are they loaded with preservatives?
They only last one day. Everything is fresh in Japan every day. Near store closing time perishables get deeply discounted.
