Konbiniya Japan Centre

Vancouver


Like walking into a Tokyo convenience store, the shelves here are crammed with brightly packaged Japanese goodies from Calbee potato chips to Pocky chocolate sticks. Pick up a can of Pocari Sweat and save time to peruse the wall of vending machines near the door; where else will you find the latest Peach John figure to add to your collection?

Expect to see lots of homesick language students looking for Melty Kiss candies here. And if your accommodations are self-catering, this is a good place to pick up cheap instant noodles and Glico curry mixes. Don't want to cook? Buy some onigiri triangular rice snacks or hit the crepe hatch on the store's exterior.
