Conbini Monday, Wk22
Have started taking the ConbiniMonday pictures from my iPhone to add a bit more real life to them. Hope they are coming out clear enough. It is hard to rival the Canon PowerShot G10 images with a mobile phone camera.
Photo dataCameraApple iPhone 3GAperturef/2.8Taken28 Sep 2009, 17:32There are quite a few snacks to see here. The one that caught my eye was the Disney Mickey Mouse caramel pudding by Morinaga. You can also see the EVERY BURGER product we took a look at in a previous conbini monday.
This corner seems to be growing in size, Maybe it is something to do with the change in season to Autumn, and everyone catching a cold. These throat sweets come in some great flavors. I like the look of the Cirtus Ginger pack, the Yuzu flavor and the 100% Honey pack. Which is your favorite pick?
There is no shortage of flavored KitKats in Japan. The latest to hit the stores are these caramel pudding flavored ones. Look good. ^^.
and if you like the caramel flavor then these salt and caramel bite size KitKats may be just the thing.
Here is a surprise for ampm. Whilst Lawson has a firm tie-up with Rilakkuma and we have seen a few products already branded, like Rilakkuma Hotcakes and Rilakkuma Hamburgers, ampm looks like it is trying to cash in on the Rilakkuma brand as well.
Pick out your favorite "Puchi Mascot" for Yen 504 or maybe a mobile phone chain for Yen 273. Who wants to see some of these in the next giveaway contest?
What is your favorite conbini? Are you a Lawson fan or a Family Mart convert? How about mini stop or daily yamazaki? What local conbinis do you have in your area?

I had been out for the day, so this was around 6pm when i was getting back. it was just getting dark. I hadn't noticed the 10 yen difference. could be a promotion. I tried the Citrus Ginger a while back. very good. I'm pretty sure Rilakkuma is exclusive to Lawson. Notice here ampm is not branding him with products, just selling him individually. good idea though.

Mmm, pudding flavored kit-kats sound good! Here in Oklahoma we don't have many pure-cobini stores, there are mostly cobini+gas station. There is a cobini not far from my house, but it is a little scary, having bars on the windows and questionable groups of people lounging around outside.

I haven't seen the veggie one yet. Sounds interesting. Is it carrot?

sounds like the conbini scene in your area is a bit different to what i experience here. not so friendly :) I can visit my conbini any time of night and always feel safe.

It would be great to see more coverage of new KitKat flavors as they come out! And anything Domo-kun related would also be appreciated (if that's not asking for too much...xD) Thanks!

Domo-kun? Good idea. They have some buses with domo-kun advertising on at the moment. I will try to grab some shots and post later. Thanks for suggestion :)
