Bistro SMAP features four members of the band cooking for celebrity guests. Guests are able to order anything they want and the boys battle it out in two teams. SMAP leader Masahiro Nakai is the owner and hosts the segment.

Japan Australia being a big SMAP fan had to give these a try, so we headed down to our local Seven Eleven to check them out. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the Smoked Salmon and Lemon Cream Pasta and Shogayaki Omusubi (onigiri), but we managed to find the rest. Here is what we thought of them.
Meat Sauce Wafu Style Omuraisu
This was really tasty and more like a good restaurant meal than a convenience store bento. The meat sauce was rich, sweat and tasty. It was a little more expensive than your regular conbini meals but worth the extra for the taste.

Handy Wrap (chicken & bacon)
The Chicken Handy Wrap was really good with a nice herby dressing/sauce and lots of salad. We thought the Bacon Wrap was a little plain in comparison.

Ichigo Milk Daifuku
This was delicious and the strawberry milk filling sweet and morish. This is a traditional Japanese dessert that anyone would love.

Caramel Mousse Coffee Jelly
Shingo Katori is definitely the dessert master with another tasty winner here. This wasn’t as sweet as I was expecting (that’s a good thing) with a bitter coffee jelly well balanced with a caramel mousse and whipped cream topping.

There you go! If you are in Japan and want to give these a try head down to a Seven Eleven near you.
I might give them a try when we get to Japan. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lina, I hope they stick around for a while as they were really good!
DeleteSome of these actually look delicious, especially the daifuku and handy wrap. There's not 7 Eleven nearby, but I'll check it out if I come across one. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks ZJ, They were all very good and I definitely recommend you try them if you stumble across a 7 Eleven. The desserts were amazing including the Ichigo Milk Daifuku :)
