| Hi, everyone! It's Risa. Today, I'm here at konbini. Konbini is short for "convenience store". |
| コンビニはとっても便利で、生活に欠かせない一部となっています。 (Konbini wa tottemo benri de, seikatsu ni kakasenai ichibu to natte imasu.) |
| There is more than 6,000 convenience store in Tokyo, and it's normally open for 24 hours! Wow! How convenient. |
| Convenience store is very convenient but normally it's a little bit more expensive than supermarket. And I'm here at FamilyMart. I like FamilyMart because they have a freshly-made cafe latter for 100yen! |
| There's another popular convenience store such as 7-eleven, Lawson... I like Natural Lawson, they normally sell some kind of organic products. |
| In a convenience store, you can buy drinks, food, sweets and snacks, ice-cream, and there is an ATM as well. And you can do photocopy here, so, pretty much everything. |
| Sometimes, convenience store has a place to eat so you can just buy food from the convenience store then, maybe, go upstairs to eat bento. |
| Let's go and get it! |
| Ice cream! |
| Oh! Seasonal flavor! |
| My favorite is yukimi-daifuku. |
| This ice-cream is FamilyMart-brand, so you can only get them at the FamilyMart. |
| I like these drinks, the warm drinks. |
| 熱っ。 (Attsu.) |
| I like this one, 伊右衛門. |
| These are the bento boxes, and if you buy bento box, normally, they'd ask you if you need to warm up the bento, you can warm it up. |
| This is 鶏そぼろ弁当。 (Tori-soboro-bentō.) |
| 鶏のそぼろと、あと卵、とあとこれ唐揚げかな？が入ってます。 (Tori no soboro to, ato tamago, to ato kore karaage kana? ga haittemasu.) |
| お寿司の中に唐揚げが入ってます。 (O-sushi no naka ni karaage ga haittemasu.) |
| There's fried chicken inside the sushi ball. |
| There are many kinds of グミ (Gumi.) |
| I recommend you to buy this one - 果汁グミ。 (Kajū gumi.) |
| Fresh strawberry juice, 100%. |
| 100% of fresh strawberry juice. |

| 果汁グミ。 (Kajū gumi.) |
| Oh look! Natto. |
| 豆腐、納豆、めかぶ (tōfu, nattō, mekabu) |
| Natto is fermented soy beans. I like them, it's healthy. |

| Oh! This one is quite famous one. |
| Afuri 柚子 (yuzu), they are quite popular for people from overseas. |
| My favorite cup-ramen? I normally don't really eat cup noodles because I know it's not really good for your health. |
| But I like... I don't know. |
