In all 7/11 that I’ve been in Japan, they had microwave and toaster oven to reheat hotdog buns, etc. Makes a big difference to eating it cold from a shelf
Natto gets such a bad rap! This westerner has always enjoyed it mixed with the tare and mustard, and bowl of rice on the side instead of mixing it in with the rice. The strings can get annoying, but once you have the technique of bite of natto, chopstick twirl, bite of rice down I find it very pleasant.
Yeah I think he was really rude when it came to the natto. His comments were definitely uncalled for. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Just move on. No need to compare it garbage and make snot jokes.
@@fedorapug8501ikr. Unless he's eating them all right at the store he can't do that here. Unless there's a microwave in the studio, if you heat it up there by the time it gets handed to him its hard and cold.
It's not the mayo that makes the egg sandwich, it's the technique of separating the yolks then *mixing the mayo into them until a smooth sauce is formed* then adding the chunky egg whites. You're welcome everyone.
Isn’t that how everyone makes egg salad? The egg salad I had in Japan was lighter and had a taste I’ve never been able to duplicate. I lived in Japan in the 80s I never had 7-11 egg salad but I had it at peoples homes and schools.
@@eptiffany most in the states at least soft to hard boil eggs then mash that with mayo and other condiments/seasonings, never heard of separating the yolk and white. the mayo is also very different however so both would change the end product.
Imagine, having watched babish, enjoyed so much of his content, bought a tiny whisk, named your child Andrew, got a tattoo of his logo on your left calf, sacrificed a goat in his honor, only for him to give the fruit and cream sando a 5 and shatter your faith in him.
I’ve been getting really into your ranked videos and I’ve also been really into those “making a meal at Korean convenience store” videos so this is PERFECT
7/11 in Hawaii is a totally different beast that you you should experience. They get a bunch of local food like musubi that you could share on this channel.
The last thing I expected was to see Connor the CdawgVA in a Babish video. I guess if you live long enough, you see things. As an avid viewer of CDawg and Babish, I am thrilled!
I'm currently learning Japanese and this is making me want to go to Japan even more. I love how different this is from your other ranked videos. Very entertaining!
JpanNeat is trying every restaurant, cafe & convenience store in Japan, even taking the train to another prefecture just to try a recommendation from locals. You might consider a segment to do a similar approach
I did not expect Baumkuchen in Japan for some reason. Baumkuchen (literally tree cake) is a thing that you can get at basically every food store in Germany, from Aldi to everything else, during the Christmas food period. It's usually covered in chocolate. There are also versions with liquors. Aldi often sells one infused with Grand Marnier, a version with Whiskey (I think) and one with Bailey's. Almost always worth it.
Ngl, my very first night in Japan was saved by the 7-11 having strawberry sandwiches. There is nothing that can replace the feeling of being lost and hungry at 10pm and having something so nice
Calorie mate does actually indicate the flavor on the top just not in English. But the word is in katakana so it sounds analogous to the loan word if you're capable of piecing the word together. If i remember, there is chocolate, fruit, cheese, etc.
one of my co-workers during my time in Japan bought me some Calorie Mate packs when I was super sick as well, and while I'm sure being sick didn't do any favors for how it tasted, I sometimes get incredible nostalgic for them. 7/11 was my daily stop on the way home from work, and I'd grab a coffee, some packaged cold noodles, and a nice dessert and that was my dinner every day for a year. Nothing back here in the states compares, and I hope to be able to experience that again one day. EDIT: 39:43 I'm genuinely tearing up because I would buy those to dunk in my coffee and I can share in the delight that you feel eating them. They're a life-changing food and I won't rest until I have them again.
for the sushi roll there’s usually a pull tab that allows the seaweed to wrap around the rice without you having to disassemble and then reassemble the whole thing! 9:04
When new people come to Japan with no knowledge of the cuisine, but like American sushi; I like to take them to a sushi-go-round and tell them the natto is a crunchy peanut butter. I'm not of fan it, but a lot of people love it.😂
10:05 The tofu skin roll is one of my favorites for a nice lil light not too sweet dessert treat! 10:53 Nato is best on a bit of rice!! It REALLY helps with the texture! I was the only one of our study abroad group who liked it😂 33:04 the strawberry version of these pancakes with a plain salted onigiri were my breakfast SO many times I love them dearly 42:09 and my go-to dessert every night were these and their colorful counterparts!
CalorieMate flavors are written on the side of the block, in Japanese. You can see at 29:30, カロリーメイト（メープル味）. That's CalorieMate (Maple Flavor). Cheers from a Rochester native living in Tokyo.
The fried chicken was so pedestrian! I can't believe you haven't tried the chicken skin skewers... The second time (out of 4 so far, 5th coming up jan/feb 25) I had a skewer each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner because I was so hooked. Famimart has the best.
Japanese convenience stores hit a bit different than the US sort~! I think the closest thing we have to JP 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and Lawson's is Buc-ee's. Also, Babish discovered that stirring natto turns it into snotto... bleaugh.
I had the egg sandwich and 7/11 pancakes almost every single day when I was in Japan. This really made me relive my time there. Now I miss it even more.
Lawson's has a grilled salmon onigiri that's life-changing, and I hope you got an opportunity to try it. Conbini's are what the world deserves and I desperately miss them.
when i arrived in tokyo the first thing i did was get the egg salad sandwich and the strawberry and cream sandwich from family mart. they were amazing.
Tounge is actually pretty common in the UK. We have it sliced in sandwiches. Although will be more popular with older generations. Gyutan is amazing, ate it for like every other meal when in Japan.
17:50 Aw yeah. I miss those so much. Three weeks, a JR Pass, all over the country, different city every day, but knew I could depend on Sevy for a Nigiri.
In all 7/11 that I’ve been in Japan, they had microwave and toaster oven to reheat hotdog buns, etc. Makes a big difference to eating it cold from a shelf
he's missing out on so much
Babish and cdawg is not the crossover I thought I needed...but here I am
I just wish there was more of it
Now he needs to do it with the feisty latina woman
@@hansbass8119 vruber cooking special would be great
@@hansbass8119would be a touch difficult right now
Natto is usually eaten with a bowl of rice to help balance the taste/texture of the food. It's an acquired taste and very healthy for you.
Yeah, I wish he tried with rice because it definitely is overwhelming on its own.

@@sammol3239 cry harder, it's literally got a reputation for being unpleasant texture and taste wise
Cool dude! Still tastes like snot from the nose of someone dying of a fever.
I have to point out that many of these would be eaten hot - expertly microwaved by the teen or octogenarian behind the register.
Love to see the term octogenarian used in the wild
I’m so glad someone said it
I didn't anticipate Connor appearing.
Seeing Connor in this video makes me very happy; it's definitely an unexpected crossover.
I lived in Japan for 3 years and 711 was my daily stop on the way to work.
Egg Sandwich is by far the best thing they have.
I went to Tokyo for 10 days and ate at some fantastic Sushi and Teppanyaki but still dream about those egg sandwiches!
20:45 half expected Chris Broad to burst through the wall like the KoolAid man when it got to the fried chicken
The Calorie Mates actually do list the flavor. It's just in Japanese. You can see at 29:31 that on the side it says メープル, which means maple.
チーズ is the best flavor
And like Snake says... they're "TASTY!!"
@@8bithavok I agree. I used to get those alot in Japan. I always describe it as cheese shortbread, lol.
I love how it's just the English words in katakana.
Takashii showing up in this video really cheered me up. That kid deserves all the views and likes!
Cdawg and Babbish was not on my collab list but I'm sl glad it happened. I hope he got a trash taste episode too.
doesn't 7/11 have microwaves to heat this stuff? why did you not test these heated...
Right??
It probably would have been cold again by the time they brought it back to set. 🤷
@@fedorapug8501ikr. Unless he's eating them all right at the store he can't do that here. Unless there's a microwave in the studio, if you heat it up there by the time it gets handed to him its hard and cold.
Connor is like in every youtuber to japan video now..
He was in Emiru's vlog too I remember joey used to do alot of collabs like that aswell but not as much as connor
Did not expect Connor here
Right? I was like... whoa... Monke!
And Chris Broad! 5:03
Same here. Didn't expect Connor to be there.
@DismemberTheAlamo is it wrong that I heard that in Dennis Hoppers voice?
Connor is everywhere, I would honestly have been more surprised if he wasn't
Seeing Takashii in a more chill environment/less serious overall is nice.
You, seeing Connor in this video makes me incredibly happy, definitely a crossover I didn’t expect.
Same
Summoned there by the Boksu ad
He looks like he is easily pleased by any food.
Weebs love him; I guess he's aspirational? I don't get it. He seems fine.
"If somebody did that texture to me," is a sentence I have never heard before.
Why did he not heat up any of the items that are meant to be eaten warm...
well.... none of them can actually read instructions probably? or they forgot? or they did it on purpose?
Excuse to have another trip to Japan for the follow up "Botched" episode.
Babish biting the "salad chicken bar" for the first time was absolutely giving "Squidward's first bite of a Krabby Patty" vibes 🤣
In the spirit of the Great Babish Beat Off I vote y'all title this format Cranked by Babish
Surprised Chris from abroad in Japan didn’t burst on the set when they rated family mart chicken low
The crossover we needed.

Wish I could put this comment in my recipe playlist😭
My family has always made that wrong I guess lol. 😆
Yes, but, Japanese mayo is different and Japanese eggs are different. Deliciously different.
@@eptiffany most in the states at least soft to hard boil eggs then mash that with mayo and other condiments/seasonings, never heard of separating the yolk and white. the mayo is also very different however so both would change the end product.
7/11 fed me for a while when I was staying in Tokyo.
Imagine, having watched babish, enjoyed so much of his content, bought a tiny whisk, named your child Andrew, got a tattoo of his logo on your left calf, sacrificed a goat in his honor, only for him to give the fruit and cream sando a 5 and shatter your faith in him.
Sounds like you’re speaking from experience here
It’s cream & fruit in a sandwich…
Would rather eat fruit and cream in a bowl instead of bread, fewer carbs makes it a lighter & healthier dessert. 🧁
My heart has been broken.
JapanEats has said something similar about the fruit and cream sandwich
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Connor is like most American youtuber's Japan tour guide
Between him and Chris my missing Japan itch is scratched, lol.
I’ve been getting really into your ranked videos and I’ve also been really into those “making a meal at Korean convenience store” videos so this is PERFECT
Did not expect to see Conner here, was a cross over I didn’t know I needed 😂

I love this series! Seeing Connor here was a treat

3:35 YIKESS NOT IN JAPAN 😭😭😭😭😭
Came to the comment section looking for this comment🤣🤣👍
I think that was what they were going for in the 40s
NOT *AGAIN!!!*
I’d love to see more videos like this, Great collaborations from many creators I love, thank you :]
cDawg and Takeshii are awesome. Fantastic guest to have on the show.

Babish found out something that trash taste fans knew the hard way
Connor’s tastebuds are broken
Babish _has_ had onigiri. It's from when he made Brock's Donuts, and turned his frying pan into a drying pan.
Seeing Andrew rank weird vending machine food would be the pinnacle of the Japanese food experience.
I did not expect Baumkuchen in Japan for some reason.

Please don't make me run, I'm full of chocolate.
Chocolate. Chip. Melon. Pan. Missing out, Babish.
43:01 Shinji trying to not to disrupt the synch rate in Unit 02
Babish and CDawgVA crossover? Now I kinda want a Trash Taste appearance.
Ngl, my very first night in Japan was saved by the 7-11 having strawberry sandwiches. There is nothing that can replace the feeling of being lost and hungry at 10pm and having something so nice
I loved Japanese Seven Eleven and their butter whip cream cake was the most delicious snack I ever eaten.
Were some of these supposed to be microwaved? 7/11 there usually have microwaves that tell you how long to heat it. It might taste better that way.
Most of them should be eaten warm.
The spicy chicken fillet from Family Mart is 10/10.
Great seeing CDawgVA collabing with you! Hope to also see Chris and Sharla too! Or maybe Pewds! Enjoy Japan!

Nothing like having to catch a train at 7:00am in Thailand and the only thing open is a 7/11. Ham and cheese toastie every morning
Very unexpected Connor appearance. Next thing we know Chris Broad shows up and trash talks you for not rating famichiki higher.
5:03 Abroad in Japan feature
The rivalry of fami, lawsons, and 7-11 chicken is so strong. But only with all three combined in harmony do we see perfection.
beautifully said

7/11 Egg Sandos are my go-to breakfast every time I go to Japan!
All the UA-camrs I watch are slowly combining into one lol
14:56 Connor! What a great surprise!
If Chris Broad does not crash the Lawson segment with chicken, it will have been a huge missed opportunity.
Babish is really working to make it a culinary universe I respect it
I had a Bokksu subscription and it was so fun! But I would say I really preferred the savoury snacks than the sweet snacks.
for the sushi roll there’s usually a pull tab that allows the seaweed to wrap around the rice without you having to disassemble and then reassemble the whole thing! 9:04

Babish is Japan’s biggest culture shock
This video is how I found out Calorie Mate is not something Metal Gear Solid invented
I get that 711 hauls are popular but please try going to some of the most amazing mouth watering restaurants in Japan! We have so much more to offer!
I can nearly assure that they will. Going to japan only to make content specifically on 711 seems unusual
Connor and Babish was not on my list of collabs but neither was Freddy vs Jason, and I am here for this.
"Visually.. it's weird. In my mouth, it's still weird."

Babish on Trash Taste would be neat since Connor appeared here
As someone who also doesn't like tuna, I highly recommend the shrimp and mayo onigiri from 7-11. It was by far my favorite.
Oh yes. Ebi Mayo was my go to. Love love love them.
You told Connor of all people, that you're allergic to bananas?! And he didn't flip out on you? 🤣
"Every single" snack? In 46 minutes? No way Jose!
This is not even 10% of snacks they have in Japanese 7/11 tbf.
The fried chicken was so pedestrian! I can't believe you haven't tried the chicken skin skewers... The second time (out of 4 so far, 5th coming up jan/feb 25) I had a skewer each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner because I was so hooked. Famimart has the best.

Baumkuchen is a traditional german type of cake. Means "Tree Cake" and is usually quite dry and not very sweet but gets often coated in chocolate
I visited Japan like a month ago, and I already want to go back. Awesome vid, thank you for sharing!
