★The Seven Eleven at the north exit rotary of Tachikawa Station is usually quite quiet, but it gets really busy when J-League matches are held. Tachikawa was a place I had no reason to visit except to buy American-made T-shirts in high school. It's hard to believe that now, the Ajinomoto Stadium has been built and it's the home stadium of J1 FC Tokyo. There is no parking lot, but there is a secret spot where you can park and quickly buy what you need. Today, there seems to be some event related to Amino Vital, but the selection of products was limited, so I ended up microwaving this yakisoba for lunch. It's cold and not really tasty, just a bit sad... (+o+)

On a weekday evening in January 2016, I stopped by alone to look for some beer for drinking at home. This Seven Eleven is located at the north exit rotary of Hatagaya Station on the Keio Line. Hatagaya Station is the nearest station to Ajinomoto Stadium, and it gets busy on days when there are soccer games or concerts. At this time, I bought Suntory's "Gold Beer" and enjoyed it at home after taking a bath. The "Gold Beer" seems to be exclusive to SEVEN & i. It is described as having a "luxurious richness and flavor", and I found it to have a slightly unique adult taste. In May 2016, on a Sunday afternoon around 5:30 pm, I visited alone again to look for beer for drinking at home. This time, I purchased "THE BREW," a joint development between Seven & i Group and Suntory Beer. As an ordinary person, I find this type of beer more than enough, not needing a premium beer. It is advertised as having a "refreshing throat," and indeed, it is a nice and refreshing drink after a bath.

Seven-Eleven at the north exit of Todoroki Station. Todoroki Station is the nearest station to Ajinomoto Stadium, so many shops around here are colored in FC Tokyo colors, but this Seven-Eleven is not fully dedicated to FC Tokyo. I bought "Cheese Rings". It's a crispy snack with rich cheese, and the simple taste is so addictive. It's similar to Umaibo, but I feel like the quality is higher and the flavor is more defined.

Keio Line, Higashifuchu Station, just a 1-minute walk from the station, right in front of the Seven Eleven. The store is fairly spacious and sufficient when there are no events. On this day, I purchased the chewy custard bread. It was a soft-textured bread with a subtle custard flavor. It was delicious.
