More than ever, on-the-go eaters in Japan are stopping by convenience stores for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On a recent trip to Tokyo, our supervising producer Abbie Fentress Swanson took a food crawl to convenience stores all over the city. She shares some of the tastiest fare she found on the shelves, from cream puffs and grilled salmon onigiri to fried pork cutlet and egg salad sandwiches. Watch our video to see the smorgasbord of food she sampled.
