Konbini: Cult Recipes

For any visitor to Japan, the convenience store, or konbini, quickly becomes an essential part of daily life. Unlike typical convenience stores elsewhere, Japan’s famous chains such as 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and Lawson are at the heart of the community.

Locals stop by their neighbourhood konbini throughout the day for household items, umbrellas during summer storms, manga, and most of all, an incredible variety of food. You will find instant snacks, fresh onigiri, bento lunches, steaming oden, fluffy cheesecake, and classic pot noodles.

This book celebrates the unique and delicious world of Japanese konbini with recipes, stories, and a look into the history of these cultural icons. It is perfect for anyone who wants to explore or recreate the flavours of Japan’s beloved convenience stores at home.
