NEW VIDEO!!! I ONLY ATE VEGAN FOOD FROM 7 ELEVEN IN JAPAN FOR 24 HOURS! ua-cam.com/video/klmiTirDoBY/v-deo.html
My dad went Vegan for health reasons, he got a lot of good advice from his doctor about becoming Vegan and he did a lot of research, he says he feels so much better and he’s 78 years old! 😁
The reason the tax isnt added already in USA is because the tax is different everywhere. It's all pretty close but slightly different. Plus some things don't have tax and that can also vary from state to state. In my state there is no tax on clothing but in other states they do tax that
Pretty Pastel Please love your Japan content ❤️ please please make more! Many more!!! Maybe some planing videos also. AND make a playlist with all the Japan videos, please - I use the app on my tv. It’s really not ideal for browsing 😁
My least favorite part of this whole video was your friend choosing your food. That wasn’t entertaining in the least.
"Just" a little FYI. The JUST Water you had with dinner on your day of vegetarian food, is from a local natural spring-fed preserve where I live, in the Adirondacks in New York State (USA). Their bottling plant is just a few minutes' walk from my house. LOL The company was actually founded by Will Smith and his son Jaden. 😃
Dude you could be a broke college student in Japan and you’ll still be eating better than a broke college student in the U S

A broke college student in the US basically eats protein bar for breakfast, skip lunch, then microwave tv dinner for dinner 😂😭

The amount of times I’ve watched this video is just stupid lol
I mean, as a Japanese high school student, this is basically my life every day and I’m honestly not complaining
Lily Fields really? that’s pretty cool, as a US student, i could only IMAGINE what it’s like
As a Mexican who lives in Canada and is vegan and is in high school, food is very boring and I can’t eat much stuff I used to because now I’m on an even more strict diet because I’m only getting sugar from fruits and no salt if possible so then I can lose weight ;-; I really don’t like it but at least I get one day off every week so I can have whatever I want that day (oh and I have to be vegetarian two days a week because if I don’t , i will start to have problems with my body, y know what I mean??)

This is like the 3rd time I've watched this video and I still think it is the most fun and honest video about combini in Japan. I hope you can go back some day and show us more about food and clothing there :D
i cant believe i just watched someone eat japanese food for nearly an hour. this is a new level of being bored
max I’m watching cuz I’m in quarantine and now I’m making boiled eggs
Welcome to quarantine/lockdown :)
I use this video as a cue that it’s time to fall asleep now because it has made its way into my auto-play for like a week now. 😂

Why do people not understand what the word "broke" means??? People who can afford to spend $8 per meal ARE NOT BROKE. Being bad with money also isn't being broke! I live in California and eat healthy on $5 or less PER DAY. It's called being responsible with money and cooking at home.
@@Lindseyisloony exactly!! My daughter just finish collage and she preferred to cook in her dorm and saved so much money. Especially when she split the food bill with her dorm mate
Lol at my college an egg salad sandwich was 5 dollars
Bree M If you made it yourself? How is that, eggs are cheap fex.
Wow, it's really amazing to me that you can eat so well in Japan with so little. The quality too looks like it's way better than cheap food here. Here in the USA it would be a real struggle to eat that well. You definitely would have to skip a meal, probably lunch.
"predatory snail" is such hardcore concept for me 😂
Next time you’re in Japan you should try to do a couple days on only vending machine food!
Yes
I’m obsessed with the food vending machines in Japan videos 🥰
Briana Bright true
@Briana Bright but did I say right now or did I say next time?
Juice Box in my country we have cheese vending machines
pescatarians: no problem

Trust me, we vegans prepared very well(and we also amazing at cooking lol).

ayeee i’m a pescatarian lol
Yeah.. i really want to go to Japan but im vegan 😭
@@lizzyseymour3690 it's possible, and vegan restaurants are starting to be a thing, but its very hard to find convenience foods. you'll have to do a lot of cooking yourself like what alex did with the kimchi/tofu/rice.
Me never knowing a 56 minute video would be entertaining.
This is my comfort video, I've watched it like 30 times
people in the comments: “sHe WaNtS tO bE aSIna sO bAd” or ” she’s A weEb”
me: she just likes the food and respects their culture but okay go off (edited- for everyone who is thinking that i’m calling her a weeb i’m not ive just seen her comments on other videos who have said those things so please don’t come at me for quoting another person’s comment )
and that is on *periodt*
I can relate, I love Asian culture but im always scared people are going to think that im trying to be Asian
The word weeaboo has been thrown around casually that it’s lost it’s true meaning and effect at this point
lovelylight ikr
lovelylight you’re not wrong honestly
You be ike: "... 711 in your country" I'm like: "Girl I'm from Europe, what is 711?"
We have 711 here in Norway
People in the uk:
Theres no 7-11 in Europe?? Oh my god!!!
There is 711 in Denmark
711 is in Scandinavian countries but I don't think it's anywhere else in Europe
Alex, this is my favorite video from you and i watch it often to wind down at night, i just love this type of video and im in love with seeing japan. please when you can, make a newer video of this? xo

I didn’t notice until i read ur comment

That was literally my life for a year (in Korea tho) and I'm watching this video for the 2nd time cause I miss all of it so much and I feel like food is incredibly expensive and a lot less tasty in my country
Sameeee I was studying at korea university and the dorm I was in had a (not exactly 7-11 but close enough) store underneath and I ate there all the time😂😂
The waffles from your western breakfast you can buy in the netherlands for about 1 euro and you get 10 in one pack 😅

I'm a vegetarian who went to Japan with a vegan friend. We used the happy cow app and it showed us heaps of vegan places to eat, it's doable.
Also did cook maybe once or twice for purpose of eating in, but overall was easy enough! :)
Finally someone who knows! 😂
ooo, that's a good shout!
👍👍👍👍
And how expensive it was?
That's great information! Thank you.
oh my gosh I love your content so much? 😍
I didn't even realize a whole hour has passed when I reached the end and now I just want to watch some more of your vids OwO
36 minutes in I was surprised I had even watched that much. Didn’t realize it was an hour long but I knew I was going to feat her till the end. Very entertaining and they both have really good personalities.
"oh yeah this kitkat is different, it's darker, and it's slightly bitter" *describes dark chocolate kitkats*
my exact thoughts 😭
Just a reminder for other vegetarians and vegans: many types of kimchi, especially traditional ones, have fish in it!
@@marthakeenan7203 pescatarians eat fish, vegetarians do not
Vegetarians do NOT eat fish.
And most kimchi does not have fish
@@EatTwinkies13 actually, loads of kimchi has fish sauce, shrimp paste, or some other sort of seafood in it to intensify the umami taste. Not all have fish, but a lot.
Alicia Ballesteros-Mitchell You are right. We don’t eat fish. I’ve been a vegetarian for three years and people won’t stop trying to feed me fish and it’s frustrating
@@starhill6792 literally! I went to Spain to visit family and we went out to eat, I specifically said no meat on the salad I was ordering because j was vegetarian, and they gave me a salad topped with basically a full can of tuna lmao
I so love that you're not afraid to try new food different food! I wish that I were more like you in that way
I started watching this randomly after a bunch of other asian food videos, and was like HEY, A fellow Aussie reviewing food, sounds great! And after 20 minutes could not stop laughing. "I want this to look absolutely delectable" "Its like two squares of white things" This was much more entertaining than other food videos i've been watching. cheers =)
Or like we peasants call it: "Travelling on a budget" 😂😂
😂😂😂
$7 is on a budget? Chile..
@@andrewgarduno775 lol compared to Australian prices, 7-eleven prices and quality in Japan kicks serious butt.
You wouldn't find anything as good as what Alex found for $7 and certainly would be not as healthy-ish or safe to eat lol
That's how I did it for a week in Thailand!!
@@andrewgarduno775 for traveling yeah, that's cheap
Why is this my comfort video. I come back to it every few months. 😅
this is my comfort video i hope you can make more content in japan soon

$27 for a whole day of meals in Japan. Meanwhile I spent $35 on lunch at door dash 😭
So what you're saying is you're really bad with money. You don't get to complain about that!
Not Wednesday no... he’s saying food in america is more expensive than other places, and it’s true! he has a right to complain.
super weenie hut jr’s I live in America and in college I could literally buy a week’s worth of food for $70 so 21 meals for $70 you just need to know how to manage your money and spend it wisely and I’m california too where everything is more expensive
Chaeyoung Lover that’s YOU, not him just because he spends money differently doesn’t mean, he isn’t spending it wisely
@@crawford5448 well he could spend it differently, so I don't get why he's putting crying emojis
I'm sitting here imagining someone from Japan eating hard-boiled eggs we have at 7-Eleven in America that are wrapped in plastic and slimey water
I'd never eat the hard boiled eggs from 7-Eleven here in america. They look gross
I'd never eat anything from 711 in america, and I live here.
kkeegan32 I’m so glad I live in Japan 😂
I don't even have a 7-eleven in my country (the netherlands)
The eggs in the 711 by me are never slimey and I live in NYC. But my store has a very high turnover sooo maybe that's it.
I’ve watched this video so many times. It has really become my comfort video I watch it whenever I’m feeling down. 💜💜💜
Oh hey, I stayed in that hotel back in September last year too. Loved the "choose your own pillow" option.
Her: *i ate rice 3 times today*
Me as an asian: *a meal without rice is like a person with no SLEEP!! So a person with no sleep gets very cranky and not in the mood, well that us asians with no rice!*
Alzenaa same I am also Asian but my profile is.... a Karen
i’m american, but i dated a filipino for a while, and his family would always have rice with their dinner. he’s the one and only reason i put soy sauce in my rice. i either do soy sauce, or teriyaki sauce and a little bit of lemon juice. changed my life honestly

What a funny video this one was. I loved it! And agree about Japanese 7-11. I lived in Hiroshima for several years & ate a lot of meals from that convenience store. Everything is so fresh & they have great seasonal dishes. You brought back so many fond memories - thank you. Also, I love that dip that comes in the veggie stick cup. That's a seasonal item they only have for like a month out of the year & it was one if my favorite dishes from the ol'7-11.
I LOVED THIS VLOG!! 🤩 It was so fun and interesting!🍣🍤🤙 I could eat in Japan's 7-11 forever and those prices are lower than in the U.S.!! Every day would be a challenge and an adventure! My mother was Japanese and that's where my adventurous soul came from 🥢🍹 I love mochi 🍙
I went to Japan and literally all breakfasts/lunches we had were at 7eleven. 7 eleven in Japan is on a whole other level of deliciousness in their food like even better than some "proper" restaurants I know also as long as I remember pretty cheap and you had where to sit, where to heat up the meals, and you could even buy clothes or Disney tickets there, man I wish I could have a 7 eleven like that where i live
Me too! I’m so jealous. 7/11’s in Japan are AMAZING where as a 7/11 in California where I live is awful, all the way around. Be careful not to get shot, watch out for the shady people who loiter outside of it & food there is crap. And definitely not cheap at all.
Ikrrr I used to live in Japan I loved it thefe
Me: "I'm vegan"
Japan: "no" 😅
There are tons of beautiful vegan restaurants in Japan! You can watch Taylor R's old video, she used to be plant based.

The crystallized sugar waffle is a Liege style Belgian waffle, I find it’s incredibly hard to get one outside of Belgium!
I made some during the pandemic as I was having a strong yearning for one.
When I was in Japan I switched to adding fish to my diet as a vegetarian so then I could try more of the foods. Japan has now ruined me and I have fallen back in love with fish and shellfish XD
So basically you're pescitarian now🤔
Her: “so your probably thinking, Alex why on earth would you fly to another country and only eat at a convenience store for an entire week.”
My brain: to film it and make money
1,000subswithnovids ? SOOOO TRUEEE
I mean, travelling abroad is expensive af. So, if she can make her money back and maybe profit a little? Hell yeah.
For vegetarian food, the fruit sandwiches are really good, inari sushi, soy milk, seaweed or umeboshi onigiri and their pastries. Btw kimchi isn’t usually vegetarian because they put fish in the seasoning.
I was thinking the same thing about the Kim chi and I felt so bad for her trying so hard. Also, in a lot of religions people don't consider fish meat.
Kimchi CAN be vegetarian, I often ask before trying kimchi in different occasions because of allergies, by now I always had good luck with it being vegetarian (and it was from japanese chefs)
So you should be cautious, it CAN be vegetarian, but always check out the ingredients i guess
@@katanathetall0420 people who are vegetarian but eat fish are pescatarian.
@@sinandcyanide7505 not everyone believes that...I told you it's a religion thing.
@@katanathetall0420 it doesn't matter if it's for health, ethics, or religion. Someone who doesn't eat meat at all is a vegetarian, someone who doesn't eat any animal products is vegan, and someone who eats no meat except fish is a pescatarian.

Oh. My. Goodness thank you so much for telling us about the translation thing p.s. Japanese eggs look like the best cooked eggs ever.
This is my go to video when I need a Japan fix! It's great
Did anyone else cringe when she placed an open packet of mustard on her white sheets?
when she opened the kimchi I stopped breathing lol
I'm honestly cringing more over the half lashes on just the outside half of her eyes with no other mascara on the rest. It's achieving some kind of "reverse uncanny valley" quality. She looks so pretty without false lashes, I wish she's just take them off. Or at the very least wear a full lash band. Half lashes are meant for dark haired people with semi-thick lashes to fluff the outer end. Not for people with light hair/lashes to wear by themselves. It just looks awkward.
And I already know, make-up is whatever makes you comfortable, you're allowed to wear it how you want, blah blah blah. I know. I'm just stating my opinion. It looks weird and unnatural.
I eat tofu, but I cringed when she dumped the whole container of uncooked tofu on the plate.
She has much luck and grace not dirtying those white sheets.
@@Terri_MacKay I mean tofu is already cooked, you have to cook soymilk to get it to coagulate into curbs
also that's silken, and you you shouldn't be cooking it beyond gentle heating in soup, you'd ruin what is otherwise a soft custard like texture. Even harder tofu deserves a good hot frying or grilling if you're going to cook it.
Honestly it's the reason I stay far far away from tofu when I'm eating in any western style places, they usually have no clue how to make good tofu, it's always too dry and has the vague texture of an old abused dish sponge soaked in some kind of weird sauce.
"what do you call that? ...cabbage"
...girl u ate an entire bag the night before how'd you forget?
Love this video so much!❤️
So, I'm a miraculous ladybug fan so when you said camenbare, my mind said PLAGG!
As a vegetarian when going to places like japan I often just accept that a lot of the time fish sauce is gonna be used in the sauces of things and just roll with it
Not really fish sauce, that's Chinese cooking. What you mean is Benito broth or dashi I think 😊
@@84rinne_moo a lot of Japanese food is Japanized versions of Chinese food, and does call for fish sauce. Same with Korean food. They all kind of shuffle food culture around a bit, to the extent that none of them claim to be the origin of Ramen.
Yeah, cool, but what about people with allergies?
@@ashneehs 「すみません、アレルギーがあるから、これの中に(insert allergen here)がありますか?」 You can literally just ask if the food item you are interested contains the thing you're allergic to. Even at the convenience store. They will help you find food you can eat if you ask, but you have to be proactive about your food allergies there, because they aren't a super common issue there.
@Michele Doenges thanks for telling me! It's a huge problem for me because I'm allergic to fish etc, so dashi would be lethal
Oh my god when she said “at least it’s not snail” and I started dying knowing whelks are sea snails 😂😂😂
*Whelks are offended*
When-??
I love the 7-11s here on Hawai’i. The prepared meals are so good.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this whole video omg it’s my favorite thing ever
If i spent 27 dollars a day to eat, i’d be living in the street
on a vacation i'd be mad happy if that's all i spent a day on food
On vacation it is quite a good budget! But my experience was more along the 15-20 dollar range. And that was while splurging on food! You can get one-meal dishes for 6 dollars in many japanese-cuisine-fast-food joints.
It’s a vacation where you have to buy pre made food because you can’t make your own being in a hotel..... yeah if you buy bulk ingredients food is a lot cheaper but that’s not what you do on vacations because that’s ridiculous
@@ilovemusic2543 actually that does not apply to Japan, in my experience. Eating out and from Kombini is way cheaper than buying and prepping yourself! (only in Japan have I seen that so far)
@nathalie similar situation in Hong Kong, at least it was when I lived there previously
i cant believe i just watched almost a hour of you shopping and eating

I have watched this video so many times and its never gets boring
