When I collected them and lined them up, they all looked and sounded almost identical. But are there any differences in taste? We decided to compare and verify.
A comparison of "thick fried eggs" from convenience stores
In conclusion, Lawson and Famima stand out for their sweetness, while Ministop and Sunkus stand out for their broth flavor, and 7-ELEVEN is somewhere between the former and latter. Based on the above, let's take a look at the characteristics of each store.
7-ELEVEN "Kiretteiru Atsuyaki Tamago" 100 yen (tax included, same below)
The texture is relatively firm, similar to that of cotton tofu. When you bite into it, the flavor of the broth spreads quickly.
