I tried the Burdock Salad with Sesame Soy Milk from 7-Eleven. It is a prepared dish with a small crunchy texture. It has 147 kcal, 6.8g (0.28oz) protein, 9.7g (0.25oz) fat, 5.4g (0.14oz) sugar, and 5.3g (0.11oz) dietary fiber. 216 yen (tax included).

Burdock Salad with Sesame and Soy Milk

Ingredients are colorful: burdock root, carrot, edamame, hijiki, konnyaku, steamed chicken, and walnut. It is dressed with a sauce of sesame paste and soymilk cream. There is also a hint of mayonnaise.


When you pick it up with chopsticks and bring it to your mouth, you will first feel the crunchy texture and unique flavor of burdock root filling your mouth. Next comes the crunchy texture of edamame and walnuts, and the konnyaku's crunchy texture on the tongue, which together make for an energetic eating experience. The combination of the flavor of steamed chicken and the texture of konnyaku makes the dish very satisfying.


The sesame seeds, soymilk, and mayonnaise make it smooth to the palate, and the salad is well put together. I have the impression that it is good for sharing with several people in a small bowl at dinner time.
