This pastry bread is filled with lots of block-shaped chocolates, perfect for those with a sweet tooth. I had it for breakfast and it was incredibly delicious!! It's easy to split in half, so it's great for sharing with friends.

From Hon-Atsugi to Odakyu - from Noborito to Nambu Line - from Fuchu-Hommachi to Musashino Line - this is not a travel route but a work route (^^♪ This is what I have this week - about 90 minutes round trip, about 120 minutes door to door. Fuchu-Hommachi is the starting point, so there is a sense of relaxation. Therefore, I often use this route. It is a town where Tokyo Racecourse is located, where Toshiba Fuchu is located, and where the 300 million yen incident occurred. There are also many historical sites in this historical town. It is a key point where highways intersect. New Days is surprisingly interesting. They sell canned shochu highballs, which is a hidden gem for me. The shochu highball I drank yesterday, I should have taken a picture of it. I wasn't in the mood for it yesterday, but today I feel like it? Is that how it is? Putting aside the canned shochu highballs, what I often buy here is the following: - Salad Shirataki for 108 yen (this is at the reduced tax rate of 8%). This comes in flavors like mentaiko mayo. Today I got the standard one. The canned shochu highball is Takara Shochu Shokunin Chuhai from Oita with kabosu for 171 yen (this is at 10%). There are several flavors of this as well. It's good that it's not too sweet. This one was also good. Since it's the starting point, I take a seat in the back car and relax. Cheers! Actually, this is the first food I've put in my stomach today. I've gotten used to this kind of lifestyle... Is it okay? But it feels fun (*´▽｀*) Tomorrow, I might try a different choice from a different gate.

Hello, I'm Chi, a reviewer of "Other". Today is a parent-child day out for Poke Go series with my son. My son was looking forward to it. Before meeting up, my son wanted to go to Kamakura for a walk, but we ended up leaving an hour later than planned and had to change our initial plans. We gave up on leisurely touring on the Enoden line and decided to head straight to Enoshima on the Odakyu line. While transferring from the Musashino line to the Nanbu line, we stopped here to get some drinks. Since I missed breakfast, I decided to buy an onigiri here. I happened to see this product here (no longer available) supervised by a tonkotsu ramen shop. There were two types: tamagokake gohan-style and with chashu. I picked up the "with chashu" one, which was a bit pricey. It was a saltier cooked rice with a very subtle presence of chashu. Hmm, it felt like putting rice in ramen soup, but maybe the tamago one would have been better? It's fun to occasionally see challenge menu-like items.

"I went on a training trip to Tokyo with a junior female colleague for 2 nights and 3 days, leaving my husband at home. He only traveled back and forth on the JR train for the training session. The souvenir he brought back this time was the 'Naruto Mikan Petit Cake' purchased from JR (NEW DAYS). Now, for a serious food review from the serious food information corner by the serious TV daughter (pat pat)... I tried the Naruto Mikan Petit Cake!!! Opening the bag, a refreshing citrus scent fills the air... It has a pleasant deliciousness. However, upon taking a bite, it crumbles and feels dry. The enjoyable texture of the orange peel adds to the taste. But, it's unbelievably dry and crumbly, with an amazing ability to absorb moisture. Delicious, bursting with flavor on the Orange Road!! [Overall impression] After eating this cake, the best way to replenish moisture in your mouth is with a deep kiss. Wait, the bag says 'Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture,' but isn't 'Naruto' supposed to be the 'Naruto Whirlpools' in Naruto? Where did my husband go with the junior colleague for 2 nights and 3 days...? Doubts deepen. It was a delicious cake from New Days."

This NEWDAYS is located in the concourse inside the ticket gates of JR Fuchu-Hommachi Station. Fuchu-Hommachi Station is an important transportation hub where the Musashino Line and Nambu Line intersect. It is also the nearest station to the Tokyo Racecourse, so on race days, it is crowded with racing enthusiasts. It is also the nearest station to the famous Okunitama Shrine, known for its Kuyami Festival and Sumomo Festival. In April 2014, on a weekday evening, I stopped by alone to look for a beer for drinking at night. I found a limited edition Asahi Super Dry labeled as "Convenience Store Limited" and "Limited Quantity." It was shipped from the factory within 3 days. When I drank it at home, I found it to be delicious. According to the website of East Japan Retail Net, which operates NEWDAYS, there are a total of 506 NEWDAYS and NEWDAYS Mini stores. In May 2014, on a weekday evening, I stopped by alone again to look for a beer for drinking at night. This time I bought a "Convenience Store Limited Pro Baseball Legends" campaign Clear Asahi. It claims to have "20% more barley" and "creamy foam." I remember buying and drinking Clear Asahi a lot when it was first released, and it does seem to have become tastier with creamy foam. In June 2014, on a Saturday, I stopped by alone to look for a lunch box for lunch. They were running a campaign offering a 50 yen discount on lunch boxes over 300 yen. I bought a Hiyashi gohan bento box (tax included 360 yen). It was a fun bento box with various side dishes like tsukune and tamagoyaki. Although the portion was small for a man like me, I bought it with the impure motive of wanting to eat cup ramen with it! In July 2014, on a weekday evening, I stopped by alone again to look for a beer for drinking at night. This time they were holding a "Delicious Hokkaido Fair" from July 1st to August 1st, and I found and bought the Hokkaido limited edition "Sapporo Classic." It made me want to visit Hokkaido! In July 2014, on a Saturday, I stopped by alone again to look for a lunch box for lunch. I bought an Onigiri lunch box (tax included 298 yen). It was a fun bento box with two types of onigiri, salmon rice and shiso rice, as well as chicken karaage and boiled egg. Once again, the portion was small for a man like me, but I bought it with the impure motive of wanting to eat cup ramen with it! In October 2014, on a weekday evening, I stopped by alone again to look for a beer for drinking at night. This time I bought a "Tokyo Station 100th Anniversary Can" of Yebisu beer. According to the Yebisu beer website, it is only available at stores within JR East Japan's (JR East Japan Retail Net Co., Ltd., Japan Restaurant Enterprises Co., Ltd., and other JR East Japan related companies) and JR East Japan Tokyo Station ticket gate stores. In November 2014, on a Saturday morning, I stopped by alone to look for bread as a substitute for breakfast. I bought the "Tartar White Sesame Chicken Fillet" and "Croquette Bread (using Kobe sauce)." The "Tartar White Sesame Chicken Fillet" has a large piece of chicken inside and is my favorite bread as I love chicken. The "Croquette Bread (using Kobe sauce)" was delicious when I bought it at the JR Tachikawa Station kiosk, so I repeated it. The bread sold at NEWDAYS is of a high level compared to the bread of other convenience stores. In December 2014, on a weekday evening, I stopped by alone again to look for a beer for drinking at night. This time I bought a "JRA Arima Kinen Can" of Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label. I don't follow horse racing, but I wish all the best to the racing experts. In January 2015, on a Saturday morning, I stopped by alone to look for bread as a substitute for breakfast. This time, I repeated the "Tartar White Sesame Chicken Fillet" and also bought the "Chicken Nanban Dog." NEWDAYS' bread satisfies me, a lover of deli bread, with a wide variety of options. The "Morning Curry Udon Bread" I bought the next Sunday morning also has a texture that seems addictive.

Inside the ticket gate, there was a sign at the convenience store saying "We have draft beer"... huh? JR is really something allowing you to drink draft beer at the station. I was able to get a well-chilled draft beer (420 yen) poured from the server behind the counter. Then they asked, "Do you need a lid?" I requested a lid just in case it spills. Although there's a slit in the lid where you can drink through a straw, it's dangerous because you can get drunk quickly. Now, where should I drink this? I take the escalator down. I want to take the Musashino Line, but it would be bad to bring draft beer on board, so I chugged it all down on a bench. Chug, chug, chug. Whoa! I'm getting drunk so quickly, almost like drinking through a straw.

My fellow reviewer and I went off to the racecourse (Japan Derby edition). Before heading to the racecourse, I always make sure to stop by the "supply base" to stock up on drinks. As someone who plays within a limited budget, the draft beer at the venue is a bit pricey for me. I purchase drinks until I hit a winning bet. Especially when I bring my child along, I also prepare juice and snacks in advance, as the convenience store inside the venue can get crowded and shopping can be difficult. This convenience store has multiple registers and is accustomed to handling customers efficiently, so the stress level is relatively low. They organize lines for each register, and the side near the entrance is usually less crowded. Today, we came for the Derby. I got my usual beer and soft drinks for heatstroke prevention. Oh, I almost forgot. I tried the "Om Sushi" that my fellow reviewer recommended - a slightly sweet thin omelette wrapped around ketchup rice. The overall taste is mild, but the strong acidity of the ketchup in the center adds a fantastic accent. You might want to take a big bite to fully enjoy it. Alright, let's do our best! (In terms of food review activities)

I happened to make an impulse purchase at a convenience store I don't usually go to. It was a convenience store onigiri that I don't typically buy (because, let's face it, the cost-performance ratio is low), but... "Omusubi (130 yen)"... really!? Oh... I love this simple naming sense (｀･ω･´)ｷﾘｯ Before I knew it, I was standing in front of the register (ﾟ- ﾟ) And I forgot to buy the tea I was originally planning to buy, the man with the brain of a chicken, that's me. So, let's sit on the bench at the platform and have it right away (ﾟ- ﾟ) Here we go. I can see tiny bits of carrots? Tomatoes??, but I can't find any other ingredients (ﾟ_ﾟ) The rice is seasoned with a tomato sauce-like flavor, rich in umami. I can taste a minced meat-like flavor, adding depth to the taste (even though there is no meat in it). Oh, I found ketchup (｀･ω･´)ｷﾘｯ In the zone where the usual onigiri fillings are, meaning the center of the onigiri, there was ketchup. It complements the acidity of the rice, creating a well-balanced flavor. But, I'm not that thrilled... It would have been nice if there were chunks of chicken or something (｡_｡) As for the egg... well, it's kind of... meh. This type of onigiri tends to lack unity between the egg and rice. It was firm but slightly fluffy in texture, which somehow made me feel like it was interacting with the rice at least to some extent. Done in a flash. As a convenience store onigiri priced at 130 yen (this was the price in the 5% consumption tax era. It's now 134 yen)... well, it's not bad considering the current trend of convenience store onigiri shrinking in size and density while prices keep steadily rising. However, the content is on the verge of cheapness, so... it could be said that it's an omurice essence-like omusubi that has eliminated unnecessary elements, but some may feel like it's a boxer who failed at weight loss. For those who think, "I need more omu in my life," "I really crave something omu-like," or "life is so unpredictable," I recommend this for now. It might provide temporary comfort (^_-)-☆

I found this onigiri and couldn't resist buying it. It had okaka rice with chikuwa, white fish, fried chicken, and tamagoyaki inside... sound familiar? Yes, it's basically a noriben from a bento shop turned into an onigiri. It's convenient to eat with one hand and the taste is just like a noriben.

I stopped by alone on a weekday morning in April 2021. This NEWDAYS is located in the concourse inside the ticket gates of JR Fuchu-Hommachi Station. Fuchu-Hommachi Station is a key transportation hub where the Musashino Line and Nambu Line intersect. It is also the nearest station to the Tokyo Racecourse, and on race days before the pandemic, it would be bustling with racing enthusiasts. It is also the nearest station to the famous Okunitama Shrine, known for its Kuyami and Sumomo festivals. On festival days before the pandemic, this station would be very lively. At that time, they were holding a "Supporting Tohoku! Ekimae Gourmet Fair" at NewDays and NewDays KIOSK, and I bought the "Sanriku seaweed rice with fried chicken & fried chicken bento (using Stamina Genta sauce)" for lunch. This bento, which boasts of mixing Sanriku seaweed into rice and combining it with fried chicken and fried chicken marinated in Stamina Genta sauce, was a delightful meal for someone like me who loves chicken. I enjoyed the Sanriku seaweed and felt like I was able to support the Sanriku region a little bit.

I stopped by this NEWDAYS on a Saturday morning in March 2021. It is located inside the JR Fuchu-Honmachi station concourse. Fuchu-Honmachi station is an important transportation hub where the Musashino Line and Nambu Line intersect. It is also the nearest station to the Tokyo Racecourse, where on race days before the pandemic, it would be crowded with racing enthusiasts. It is also the nearest station to the famous Ōkunitama Shrine, known for its Kura-yami Matsuri and Sumomo Matsuri. During festivals before the pandemic, this station would be bustling with activity. At that time, they were holding a "Kyushu Okinawa Delicious Food Fair" at NewDays and NewDays KIOSK, and I bought the "Oita Flavor Chicken Tempura & Karaage Bento" (tax included 498 yen) as part of the event. It was a hearty bento, but as a chicken lover, I enjoyed it deliciously and happily.
