Japans Conbini Lawson Might Be Too Good to Stay Listed

Everyone loves Japan’s ubiquitous convenience stores, known locally as conbini.

They’re the subject of tens of thousands of tourist Tiktoks and YouTube videos, with visitors gushing over their most quirky offerings. The stores were the bright spot during the Tokyo Olympics three years ago when reporters, unable to eat in restaurants due to Covid and perhaps expecting a stale gas station hot-dog, instead reveled in the fine dining options available at the conbini 24 hours a day.
