Famima!! is a convenient store

I am working at the Tokyo Shiodome building in an area called sio-site. In the 1F and 2F, there are shops and restaurants. One of them is Famima!!. I found Famima!! in Hollywood and Santa Monica in the U.S. when I visited there and it's very interesting because they looked like trendy spots. Famima!! is a special version of the convenience store "Family Mart". The difference between a regular Family Mart and Famima!! is the selection of goods. Each Famima shop can choose unique items according to its location and situation. But Family Mart has the same items all over Japan.

In Hollywood, Famima had Japanese magazine and sushi, edamame, Japanese sweets and more Japanese items. In the Shiodome building, BGM is Jazz and Rock music and they sell MUJI items and foreign stationary. Famima!! can be cool because it has Japanese items in the U.S. and it has foreign items in Japan.

Hi There
this morning i got Konnyaku Drink at Famima. I don't think it would be sold in Famima in the U.S. But I can tell they had good selection.

Hehe! I love going to Famima!! in Santa Monica, they have yummy salmon rice balls and inari. That is so funny that they have foreign items in Japan while Japanese items in LA. ^_^

I'll rather have Kansai style cooking. Nothing is better than that. Nothing beats overkill on flavouring.

Whats the equivalent dish of Tempura? its really good. I need something that taste equally good as that

Ah! Family Mart! When I lived in Korea we went to those often as it was good for a quick "Peppero" fix (Korean version of Pocky). I didn't realize they were so widespread and had an "upgraded" version. I want a Famima near me! :(
