I ate an egg sando every day for 2 weeks during my visit to Japan. It was an addictive and satisfying late-night snack to accompany drinks. I did the taste test of all 3 conbini egg sandos, and personally, my favorite was Family Mart. It had a creamier texture and stronger flavor which paired well with satsuma tangerine beer (another Japanese favorite!)
Marc, this is fantastic! I have always wanted to see all three competitors' sandwiches together, and hear a review. Even more, I want to see your recipe next week! Really looking forward to it. Thanks for brightening my day. 😃
Hi Erin, so glad to hear it was able to brighten your day☀️😀 As I was doing research for my egg salad sandwich recipe, I noticed no one had done a 3 store taste test yet, so I thought I'd step in and fill the gap😆
@@nickstoli Hi Jay, that's a cool idea, but filming them would take my attention away from the tour I'm giving, plus it might make the people on the tour uncomfortable. If I do make videos of food tours it would have to be specifically for the video.
Fun video! Can't wait to make my own taste tests of 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson food items. Until then, can you tests oden, umeboshi onigiri and their tonkatsu sando or bowls?
Thanks Tess! Are you visiting Japan soon? Love the idea of comparing oden, but I'll have to wait until it's back in season this fall. Also, great call on onigiri.
I love the specificity - 1.3 cm vs 1 cm of bread. Amazing! 😇I can’t wait for the progress and future success of your channel. I can totally 100% see you with your own cooking show (I was surprised you didn’t have one already haha).
Great analysis, Marc! I will definitely try all of them when i go visit Japan in December! (I remember egg yolks in Japan are more orange than yellow) Can't wait to see your egg salad recipe!!

Thanks for sharing! If I were eating it with a beer (or chuhai), I'd definitely go with Family Marts.
@@smarteapantz agreed!!!

@No Recipes Such a good idea you had - bravo! :-)
More videos like this would be great. I miss the food from every place we visited, including the convenience stores. Katsu sandos next, maybe?
Hi Melissa, good idea! I'll add it to the list of ideas for future taste test videos.
My heart will always be with the Lawson tamago sando. Drunk weekends in Shinjuku and stumbling into Lawson to grab a Pocari Sweat and the sando.
Good call on the Lawson sandwich! 😆 Can't say I've ever enjoyed Pocari Sweat though.
Great video! Have you ever thought of giving food tours of Tokyo? Btw, can't wait for your next one! Love tamago sando!
Thanks Jay! I don't have any public tours, but I do do private tours from time to time.
@@NoRecipes Ever think of making a vid of them?

On visual inspection alone, 7-11 already wins :)
Hahahah yea, it has the most egg by far, but it's also the most expensive.
Thanks for watching! Check out ua-cam.com/video/TyxcX3IpCfI/v-deo.html for my version of the konbini egg sandwich!

Thanks Heidi! I do have a cable TV show on NHK World. It's called Bento Expo if you wanna check it out.

Thanks for watching! Curious to hear which one you end up liking the best😀
You are making me go get kewpie mayo! 😊These were my go to when I lived in Okinawa.
👍🏽 I have a recipe for my version of the sandwich here: ua-cam.com/video/TyxcX3IpCfI/v-deo.html hope you enjoy it😉
@@NoRecipes Thank you so much! ☺️
Marc, It’d be cool if you organized food tasting tours in places like Japan, China, or anywhere really!
That's a great idea and I'd really enjoy it, but the challenge is to find the time. I've got something in the works though😉
Anthony Bourdain said that he always would go to Lawson's and buy their egg salad sandwich any time he was in Japan. . .
😭 RIP 🥪
サンドイッチに関していえばファミマが一番美味しいイメージだが、たまごサンドはセブンイレブンが好きですね。いつもお皿に大量の黒胡椒とチューブのカラシ(塩気あり)を用意してたまごサラダに追加して食べます。
アパッペの生胡椒を試したことありますか？セブンイレブンのタマゴサンドでは試していませんが、美味しいと思います。
Lawson is my favorite ❤️
It was one of mine as well!
Lawson's with Orion beer............the best!
Good call!
Just back from japan, ate egg sando every morning. Trust me family mart wins hands down the others don't compare at all
They add onion to theirs and a lot more salt and there's less egg than 7-Eleven. Not my cup of tea, but I'm glad you found one you like.
I miss sooo much these egg salad sandwiches T-T
Now you can make it yourself😉
