Tully's goes through Itoen in Japan for its line of canned coffees. They have introduced an iced honey milk latte. I have tried it and it is pretty good for a canned coffee.

Like all convenience store chains, Circle K Sunkus has an ATM looking machine in each store which sell a variety of items such as concert, movie, amusement park and sports tickets, as well as test registration (and there are many, many standardized qualification tests offered in Japan). Now they are offering long distance bus tickets also. Long distance buses are becoming very popular because many are overnight buses so not only do you save a lot of money on the transportation, you save on hotel costs also.

If you go to the site below you will see something you don't see everyday - dancing fish sausages (The Fishman Brothers フィシュマン兄弟). Marudai sells fish sausage, which are not to be confused with kamaboko. Kamaboko are also processed fish, but are considered traditional Japanese food and even a delicacy. Fish sausage are pretty much what they sound like - processed fish make to look and taste somewhat like pork sausage. This is made easier by the fact that Japanese sausage is generally less spicy and greasy than Western sausage.
In any case the dancing sausages are a treat, as is their recommendation for a personalized bento for the kids featuring the Fishman Brothers. Note especially the Elvis-type hairdo made from nori seaweed.
