Hello, this is Chi from the "Other Reviewers & Mysterious Onigiri" team. I was on my way to a client's place and planned to have lunch, but construction traffic jams were everywhere. It seems like there are water pipe replacement projects going on, which is necessary for infrastructure, but why do they all happen at the same time? And the traffic control officers are not doing a good job... I don't have time to eat anymore, it's been like this recently. Anyway, lunch is out of the question, but I'm thirsty, so I'll grab something to drink. It's hard to get in and out because it's along a main road, but there's always traffic. Have you ever tried "Nori Butter Shoyu," mixing butter and soy sauce with rice? I used to eat it as a snack during my student days. This version has nori seaweed simmered in the middle with butter soy sauce mixed in. It was different from what I imagined, but I liked the taste.

Seems like a normal Seven Eleven store located along Route 16. It's not too small or too big, just average. The store is clean and bright, making it a comfortable place to shop. Edamame Chips (tax included 108 yen) is a Seven Premium product with a logo. Among the Seven Premium products, these edamame chips are quite delicious. They have a nice crispy texture. Since they are non-fried, they don't feel greasy and have a light taste. The rich flavor of edamame makes them enjoyable without getting tired of them.

On the way to Hachioji Bypass, I stopped by a convenience store called "Seven Eleven Ooya Store" for a coffee break (^O^)／. It is located near the Ooya Danchi entrance intersection, with a small and quite difficult parking lot to maneuver in and out of. There is a public phone outside the store. Inside, there is a coffee machine on the left as soon as you enter. I used the restroom, which had a nostalgic Showa era vibe but was clean and odor-free. After paying at the register, I made myself a coffee using the self-service machine and enjoyed it (^O^)／♪
