Appendix: Convenience Store Conversation for Daily Necessities and Real-Life Use

Japanese convenience stores seem familiar, yet they are a different world…
A comprehensive guide to Japanese convenience stores for foolproof choices

Japan, a country with a similar yet unique atmosphere to Korea.
Among them, Japanese convenience stores, which boast high food quality, have become a must-visit travel destination as they allow visitors to experience a different culture from Korea.
Moreover, each convenience store in Japan has a very strong individuality depending on the region, time period, and brand.
That's why it would be interesting to travel to Japan with convenience stores as one of the main themes.
However, if you are new to traveling in Japan, it is natural to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of foods on display at convenience stores.
This book was created for readers who want to have a fulfilling and fail-proof convenience store tour that includes browsing convenience stores, sampling products, and even shopping for gifts for friends.

We recommend following the cute food tour of Maguro Sensei and Sake-chan and finding products that suit each person's taste, from Japanese snacks to triangle kimbap, bento boxes, ice cream, drinks, bread, desserts, cup ramen, soup, hot snacks, and even alcohol.
With the 2024 edition of "Maguro Sensei's Japanese Convenience Store Master," which includes a new convenience store oden corner, you'll be able to completely conquer Japanese convenience stores!

Maguro Sensei's culinary journey through Japan, this time at a convenience store!
Develop your Japanese language skills to enjoy Japanese convenience stores.

Even shopping at Japanese convenience stores, which always rely on a translator, can be tiring.
There are too many foods to translate one by one, so you end up choosing something that looks delicious, but there are many cases where you are disappointed because it tastes completely different from what you imagined.
In times like these, it's a shame that if you know your favorite ingredients, brand names, and product names, you can shop successfully even among the vast selection of food products.


"Maguro Sensei's Japanese Convenience Store Master" is a highly recommended book for those who want to understand the products available from each brand and learn about their Japanese names and tastes in advance.
As this is a book designed to prepare you for a fun convenience store tour, it is by no means a study book filled solely with Japanese.
It includes illustrations that cutely depict even the most delicate details of the products, as well as Maguro Sensei's tasting reviews, so it's fun to visit an actual convenience store and compare the products introduced in the book with them.
In addition, it introduces simple phrases frequently used at convenience stores, making it a great gift for those planning a tour of Japanese convenience stores and those who dream of successful convenience store shopping.
