If we had friends from another country come visit us, we would eat exactly zero meals at convenience stores. In Japan, on the other hand, we ate several meals from convenience stores. They're ubiquitous, cheap, fast, and indeed convenient--especially while traveling. And the food was surprisingly good. Not gourmet, but solid, tasty food. The girls were especially fond of the seaweed-wrapped rice balls, which were sometimes plain and sometimes filled with stuff.
Drink vending machines were even more ubiquitous than the convenience stores. Note the blue and red labels under each drink: blue means it's a cold drink; red is hot. Oh, yes, we are living in the future, and the coffee is warm--or cold, depending on your preference. The girls' favorite drink was Pocari Sweat, a mildly citrus flavored sport drink.
