[Sharla]: Hey guys! [Taylor]: Good morning!

Okay, so today me and Taylor are gonna go to two different convenience stores

Adverbs of manner

7-Eleven and Family Mart, which are probably my two faves,

I used to like Lawson, but recently I'm increasingly liking 7-Eleven and Family Mart  [Taylor]: Yeah, I'm a Family Mart girl

[Sharla]: Yeah, they're the best.  We're gonna do a challenge and see who can make the best

[Taylor]: It might seem like it's difficult to do, but in Japan, it's- the convenience store food is so good [Sharla]: It's so good.

[Taylor]: You can eat there all day, it's totally different. [Sharla]: Yeah, it's totally different than like 7-Eleven in Canada. Your choices are like cold hot dogs

[Sharla]: Yeah, like I think we're gonna be able to find like an actually nutritional...meal [Taylor]: We're gonna surprise you guys

[Sharla]: Okay, let's go [Taylor]: Let's do this.

[Sharla]: Alright, I chose to do my shopping for dinner at

7-Eleven, let's go inside and see what we can find

I was thinking to get some kind of interesting drink, but the only vegan stuff they have its juice or these

Soy milk smoothies which I've heard are pretty gross

Okay, I think I'm good for dinner. I'm gonna move on to dessert, which I think will be kind of hard

But if I can find some traditional Japanese desserts, they're very often vegan

[Taylor]: Alright guys, I'm inside Family Mart now

We're gonna see what I can find for my full three-course dinner

At this point things are looking pretty picked over here

This is after lunch, so it's gonna be a little bit difficult

This is the frozen section which is usually pretty good for dinner

But a lot of the main courses have meat in it

Don't think I see one with just vegetables, let's see here

These are just beans inside, could be okay

Noodles made from tofu, and they have this sesame sauce on top, that looks pretty cool

This one doesn't actually contain milk so I can use this too

Might get this too for some extra color and nutrition

Okay, I've got everything I need. I spent about one thousand- and not about- I actually spent

1026 yen, which is about $10 American. I'm ready to go.

I'm just gonna heat up the broccoli first, cuz it's frozen

So it's literally just plain, frozen broccoli

And then while that is frying up, I'm gonna prepare the noodles here. We've got our vegetables

We've got some more fruit and vegetables, you've got

It's like a bread it can be for dessert, so some carbs and fruit, and carbs's here. Try to cover all nutritional

Which is usually difficult in a convenience store, but in Japan it's not too bad

just like a sesame sauce and you get these this little package of seeds, and then

This doesn't look red at all, it's like brown. That was such false advertising- kay pretend that's a nice red pretty color

Which I thought had meat in it up until now, but this one is a steamed bun with only red bean inside

Basically this pair, it's like ice cream, but it's not made from milk

[Taylor]: Bon Appétit. [Sharla]: So I should start with my appetizer.  [Taylor]: Yeah.  [Sharla]: Alright, here we go. Family Mart

I wanted it to be red because I wanted the colours to balance, like I love green. [Sharla]: Yeah, like you thought of everything

[Sharla]: Well you needed brown.  [Taylor]: Wait, no there's brown here, it's already been done

[Sharla]: This isn't bad, at first it really tastes like vegetables, like eurghh, but then the fruit comes through. It is healthy, but

But edible. I'm gonna try these tofu noodles, I'm intrigued

[Taylor]: The sauce at the bottom is not mixed in. [Sharla]: They're completely made from tofu.

[Sharla]: Mmm, they're delicious. [Taylor]: They're delicious?

They must be new, I've never seen these before.

[Sharla]: They're firmer than I thought they will be.

[Taylor]: I knew it's your favourite. [Sharla]: Mmm, it's really good actually.

[Taylor]: *Whispers* Bonus points since it's your favourite.

[Sharla]: So far this is really good. I would not mind eating this for dinner

[Sharla]: Alright, let's try this fancy dessert. I don't know where to start

[Taylor]: Cut into it, get a bit. Okay, Sharla does this thing where she eats things individually and it drives me crazy

Because I'm one of those people that likes to mix everything in the sauces to get all the flavors [Sharla]: So I want to get a little

bit of everything? [Taylor]: Yeah, okay like

This is like the cake with the ice cream with the fruit

[Sharla]: Well it's a really interesting mix.

[Sharla]: But yeah, it's actually good. [Taylor]: Actually, this was supposed to be hot

[Taylor]: *coughs* when I bought it. [Sharla]: It's warm.

[Sharla]: I kinda like it, yeah, this works.

[Sharla]: Yeah I like the coldness of the ice cream.

[Taylor]: I like that- I like doing that for dessert.

Balancing, I mean, different temperatures.

[Sharla]: It's good, my favourite's definitely the noodles.

They're so good, I'm gonna be buying these all the time, I love them.

Okay, I'm gonna prepare my 7-Eleven dinner now

I'm quite confident that I found some really interesting stuff, and I think Taylor's gonna like it

Okay, so I'm gonna start off by plating the sashimi konnyaku (konjac)

I've never seen this before, it looks really interesting, and I think it's a cool vegan alternative to sashimi.

Comes with a miso karashi (a type of mustard) sauce

For dish number two, I'm going to be making a tofu salad

This is a kale and lettuce salad, got tofu here, and I'm going to add a bit of this kinpira (sauté and simmer)

Gobo salad as well. These are like root vegetables

For the next dish, I found this which is brand new, it's "kuro satou inari" ("black"/brown sugar beancurd pockets)
