It's a distinct memory that stayed with me when visiting Japan for the first time. One of the first places I went after the train from Narita to my Shinjuku hotel was a 7/11 to use the ATM and pickup local currency. When I walked in, I walked back out because I assumed I went in the wrong door. No, it was in fact a 7/11. I ended up buying some small meal and coffee (with a barista preparing it) because I was so shocked that it looked like a decent quality, albeit small, grocery store, so I wanted to give it a try. The coffee was just great no matter where you go. The food was ok, it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to have but was so much better than anything you'd find in a US convenience store. I wanted to sample it but didn't want to waste my food adventure too much on convenience store food.
