3 DIY healthy convenience store lunch ideas

With most konbini being open 24/7 on every block in the city, everything you need is within an arm’s reach at any moment. This is great when you forgot to pay a bill, but not so much when you’re craving something junky or have decision fatigue from the sheer amount of food choices Japan has to offer.

A common mantra of healthy eating is to “shop the perimeter,” where the fresh, healthy stuff usually lies, but this isn’t always the case for konbini. As soon as you walk in, you’re surrounded by fried chicken, hyperpalatable sweet bread that can clock in at 500kcal a piece, and tiny, yet carbohydrate-rich lunches. That said, the konbini is a godsend for busy Tokyoites with jam-packed schedules or for when you woke up a little too late to make your own bento.

So if you’re in need of a quick and healthy lunch but found yourself at the konbini, don’t rush to the readymade food corner. Instead, make one yourself — it will cost less and be healthier.
