Is it socially unacceptable to eat 'winter food' in the summer time?? this is very interesting... danz Link to post Share on other sites

7-11 2 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 rajeem: Quote: I've never really struck up the courage to get one after a bad experience with a nikuman once from Lawson (I think the "meat" that was in it made me ill). What do expect from a Lawson? Don't touch their manky stuff - gotta be 7-11. It's the only one with the ii-kibun factor [This message has been edited by 7-11 (edited 06 September 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Those poor sods who work in 7-11 have to listen to that damn jingle all the time. Why don't they say to their boss 'Look, mate, this jingle is driving me nuts. And how many extra onigiri do you think get purchased naccount of it, eh? Baka!' While on this theme and off topic to boot, the jingle they play at Yamada denki is even worse. It actually drives me from the shop without having bought what I went in to buy. Working with that would cause me to become psychotic. Well danz, I think nikuman will be back in the shops soon, and winter will be just around the corner (saw an Aki Aji beer ad tonite, yeh!)

danz 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 speaking of annoying songs... you know that 'fish fish fish' song they blast in supermarkets, I read that the stores that play that song actually sell MORE fish than the ones that dont...and apparently that song has become a hit with the kids...i even think a cd is released... so clearly, corny songs are a big draw for the japanese consumer... danz Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Lawsons are best avoided for many things, those sandwiches are from hell. Link to post Share on other sites
rajeem 0 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hey I tried a pizzaman the other day from a 7-11 and it was quite good actually. Try it out folks! Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Pizzaman, nikuman - good after a late drinking night. Like someone else said, 7-11 are the best. Link to post Share on other sites
mort 0 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 It looks like I'm just gonna have to get to Japan to experience the nikuman and pizzaman Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Danz, Probably you cant get Oden at a combini cuz they would spoil too fast in the heat. Cant get any hot coffee in a vending machine either... [This message has been edited by Yuki's Passion (edited 17 September 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites
green 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Why does Lawson suck big time? Any theories? They can destroy even the simplest sandwich. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I often think that too - 7-11 is the better of the 2 by a long way. Link to post Share on other sites

obento 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 i havent heard of a fish-fish-fish cd being released, but i swear i saw what looked like its music video on tv a while back.. i wonder if itll come out in karaoke.. im thinking with lyrics like that, even the average-joe-gaijin with rather unsavvy japanese could impress in the karaoke box sakana sakana sakana, sakana o taberu to.. karada karada karada, karada wa yoku naru....

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Obento, Wasnt that song made like a decade ago by some Japanese Enka singer? Ocean, you know that woman Im talking about?? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 'Fraid I don't actually. Have to give me some more clues (there's a lot of enka biddies out there...) I have to say that I try to suppress my normal curiosity where that song is concerned - even to the extent of blocking my ears and running whenever I hear it. nikuman nikuman nikuman nikuman o taberu to nikibi nikibi nikibi tappuri-i dekiru zo!

scouser 4 Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Funny. In the video for the sakana song, why are all them sakana dancing around looking happy. After all, they're going to get eaten soon. Silly fish. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Had one last night. It was actually quite good. I was drunk of course. Link to post Share on other sites
