Yes, Europe has almost no convenience stores, I think there are some 7/11 in Scandinavia.
But here's the thing: We don't have convenience stores because we value or food and local cuisines. US and Japan uncultured compared to us, to a similar extent, so as you're American I am not surprised you like Japanese convenience stores.
No classy Japanese, of which there are not many, would think of them as suppliers of actually good food, though.
And of course there's trashy gas station food in Europe, but nobody from the middle and upper classes would ever touch it, we would rather starve. That's mostly for Bulgarian truck drivers, Russian farm helpers, etc.
- presentation 5y agoLol what Japan is uncultured, doesn’t value food and local culture? Must be why the hottest food trends globally are mostly second rate knockoffs of Japanese food, and the world over treats pretty much any ordinary Japanese food and cultural goods as among if not the finest you can find anywhere (wagyu beef, high end seafood, so on). Let alone the fact that “classy Japanese” go to convenience stores all the time since they really are great, and is also known for preserving its culture better than practically any developed culture. Have you even visited before? Must be a troll, or at least have a prohibitively closed mind.
