Rising star in Japan\u2019s foodie scene is making its 7-Eleven debut<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Walk into a 7-Eleven<\/strong> in Japan and, as you\u2019d expect, you\u2019ll quickly find all sorts of very Japanese foods and drinks, such as green tea rice balls<\/a>, matcha lattes<\/a>, and takoyaki<\/a>. However, 7-Eleven Japan is really all about offering a broad range of deliciousness. They\u2019re more than happy to look beyond the country\u2019s borders for inspiration, so soon they\u2019ll be offering banh mi, Vietnamese-style sandwiches.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the world\u2019s truly great fusion foods, banh mi stuffs a short baguette with traditional Vietnamese ingredients and seasonings<\/strong>, with some sort of protein (most commonly pork) accompanied by carrots, radish, and plenty of cilantro\/coriander<\/strong>. While long popular both in Vietnam and in parts of other countries with sizable Asian populations, banh mi has taken some time to catch on in Japan, perhaps because pho already occupies so much of Vietnamese-intrigued Japanese foodies\u2019 hearts. In recent years, though, the number of restaurants and takeout shops offering banh mi has been on a slow but steady uptick in the Tokyo area, and now the fanbase has become large enough that 7-Eleven Japan is getting into the banh mi game.<\/p>\n The Sweet Chili Sauce Banh Mi <\/strong>is filled with roast pork, and 7-Eleven says the umami of the meat, tang of the pickled vegetables, and bold herbal fragrance of the cilantro make for a flavorful but refreshing sensation that\u2019s perfectly suited to the upcoming hot summer weather. Sweet chili sauce is a less-than-ubiquitous banh mi condiment, but 7-Eleven says it\u2019s used here as an added accent within the flavor profile, so it doesn\u2019t sound like it\u2019ll have a domineering presence and each ingredient will get its chance to shine.<\/p>\n 7-Eleven Japan\u2019s banh mi is priced at 430 yen (US$2.75) and goes on sale June 23<\/strong> at branches in every prefecture except Hokkaido and Okinawa. And if you\u2019re looking to make your convenience store run even more multinational in theme, 7-Eleven Japan now has Korean gamja cheese balls too<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source, images: PR Times<\/a><\/em> Rising star in Japan\u2019s foodie scene is making its 7-Eleven debut.
