Konbini Meals at 7-Eleven Japan: All 15 Under 700 Yen
Every price in this guide comes from Seven-Eleven Japan’s own product pages. The Seven-Eleven Japan beef rice bowl product page is a good example of the format. It prints 598 yen first, then the tax-included price of 645.84 yen in brackets. The first number is the price before tax. The bracketed number is what you pay when you take the meal away.
Our title says under 700 yen, and that refers to the before-tax price. Two meals cross 700 yen once the 8% tax is added. Everything else in the set stays below it, even with tax.
If you want one number per meal of the day, use the three below. Breakfast can be 248 yen, a typical bento lunch or dinner sits at 550 yen, and the cheapest hot meal is 328 yen.
The illustration above matches each meal of the day to one price from the product pages. All three are before tax. Add 8% when you take the food out of the store.
7-Eleven bento and rice bowl prices
Eleven of the 15 meals are rice dishes. Some are bento boxes with rice and side dishes. Others are donburi, where the topping sits on a bowl of rice. Prices run from 498 to 698 yen before tax.
The table lists each one with the Japanese name printed on the label. Use the name to match the meal on the shelf.

The two cheapest rice meals are the pork curry and the ketchup omelet rice (omurice). Both cost 498 yen before tax and 537.84 yen with tax. The nori bento and the oyakodon chicken and egg bowl sit right on the median at 550 yen, or 594 yen with tax.
The gyudon beef bowl costs 598 yen before tax and 645.84 yen with tax. It is the one meal in the set that Seven-Eleven Japan lists for every region. The beef kalbi bento comes next at 620 yen, or 669.60 yen with tax.
Three meals cost 648 yen before tax: the fried chicken (karaage) bento, the pork cutlet bowl (katsudon) and the hamburg steak with demi-glace sauce. With tax they come to 699.84 yen, just under the 700 yen line.
At the top, the tonkatsu bento and the gapao rice both cost 698 yen before tax and 753.84 yen with tax. Gapao rice is a basil chicken rice. Both are listed only for Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo and Kanagawa.
The Seven-Eleven Japan Seven Cafe coffee page notes that the till drops any fraction under 1 yen.
The same page says sizes, prices and release dates can differ by area. Our tuna mayonnaise onigiri page shows how much. We saw the onigiri at 140 yen before tax on a package in a Tokyo store, against 182 yen on the official list.
For a lighter rice meal, see our 7-Eleven onigiri price guide, which lists the fillings and prices.
Noodle meals: the cheapest konbini meal
The other 4 meals are noodle dishes, and one is the cheapest of all 15. The Seven-Eleven Japan champon noodle soup product page lists the champon at 328 yen before tax, or 354.24 yen with tax.
The chart below compares the four noodle prices before tax. Two of them share the same 398 yen price.
| Item | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Champon noodle soup | 328 yen | 354.24 yen with tax |
| Sauce yakisoba | 398 yen | 429.84 yen with tax |
| Soupless tantanmen | 550 yen | 594 yen with tax |
| Mini hiyashi chuka | 398 yen | 429.84 yen with tax |
The street-stall sauce yakisoba and the mini hiyashi chuka both cost 398 yen before tax and 429.84 yen with tax. The soupless spicy tantanmen costs 550 yen, or 594 yen with tax, the same as the median rice meal.
Calories vary more than prices. The champon has 258 kcal and the mini hiyashi chuka has 309 kcal. The yakisoba has 720 kcal. The tantanmen has 955 kcal, the highest of all 15 meals.
Hiyashi chuka is a chilled ramen salad, so you eat it cold.
The noodle meals are more regional than the rice meals. The champon is listed for Kanto, Shizuoka, Tottori, Shimane, Okayama, Hiroshima and Shikoku. The yakisoba is listed only for Chiba, Tokyo and Kanagawa. The tantanmen is a Kanto meal. The hiyashi chuka reaches Kanto, Kinki (Kansai), Chugoku, Kyushu and Okinawa.
Breakfast at 7-Eleven: bread, onigiri and coffee
A 7-Eleven breakfast costs less than most bento. In our database, 10 of the 14 sandwiches and breads cost 300 yen or less before tax. Pair one with a coffee or an onigiri and you have a full breakfast.
The Seven-Eleven Japan sausage and egg muffin product page lists the muffin at 288 yen before tax, or 311.04 yen with tax, and 336 kcal.
Several breads cost even less. Our 7-Eleven melon pan page lists the soft sweet bun at 118 yen before tax (127.44 yen with tax) and 395 kcal. The smooth sweet bean bun (koshian pan) also costs 118 yen. The curry bread (curry pan) costs 158 yen, or 170.64 yen with tax.
The ham and cheese burrito costs 248 yen before tax and 267.84 yen with tax. It is one of the few breakfast items listed for all of Japan. The 7-Eleven THE Egg Sandwich page lists the egg sandwich at 278 yen, or 300.24 yen with tax. If you want the full story of that sandwich, read our 7-Eleven egg sandwich review.
The bigger sandwiches cost more. Our chicken katsu sandwich page lists it at 426 yen before tax, or 460.08 yen with tax.
A regular hot coffee from Seven Cafe costs 130 yen before tax, or 140.40 yen with tax. A regular iced coffee also costs 130 yen. A large hot coffee costs 204 yen, and a regular hot cafe latte also costs 204 yen. All of these are listed for every region. Our Seven Cafe coffee guide has the prices of all eight drinks.
The chart below adds a regular hot coffee to three breakfast items. We did the sums from Seven-Eleven Japan’s own prices.
| Item | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Melon pan + hot coffee | 248 yen | 267.84 yen with tax |
| Sausage egg muffin + hot coffee | 418 yen | 451.44 yen with tax |
| Tuna mayo onigiri + hot coffee | 312 yen | 336.96 yen with tax |
A melon pan with a regular hot coffee comes to 248 yen before tax, or 267.84 yen with tax. The sausage and egg muffin with coffee comes to 418 yen, or 451.44 yen with tax. The Seven-Eleven Japan tuna mayonnaise onigiri product page lists the onigiri at 182 yen. With coffee it comes to 312 yen before tax and 336.96 yen with tax.
The tuna mayonnaise onigiri has 258 kcal and lists egg and wheat as allergens. Would you rather sit down to rice, miso soup and fish? Our guide to breakfast in Japan covers teishoku diners, hotels and kissaten cafes.
Heating your bento and asking for chopsticks
The Seven-Eleven Japan English FAQ for visitors answers the two questions most people have at the till. Most stores have a microwave, and the staff will heat your food if you ask. The staff may also offer to heat a bento when you pay.
Some items cannot be heated in the store. Chilled dishes such as hiyashi chuka are eaten cold.
Cutlery is not always handed out automatically. For bento, salads, frozen food and other ready-to-eat items, ask at the till for chopsticks, a spoon, a fork or napkins. The staff may ask you first.
The illustration below lists what the staff may ask you at the register.
Some stores have an eat-in area. Food you eat there is taxed at 10% instead of the 8% take-out rate.
Two short phrases help at the till: 温めてください (atatamete kudasai) means “please heat it”, and お箸ください (ohashi kudasai) means “chopsticks, please”.
Pork, allergens and calories
The bento and noodle pages list only the 8 required allergens under Japanese labelling. That list covers items such as egg, milk, wheat and shrimp. Pork and gelatin are not on it, so the page cannot tell you whether a bento contains them.
The allergen lines are short. The gyudon page lists only wheat. The champon and the gapao rice list egg, wheat and shrimp. The nori bento, karaage bento and tonkatsu bento list egg, milk and wheat.
For pork, the name of the meal is your best guide. Three of the 15 say pork in the name: the tonkatsu bento (a pork loin cutlet), the katsudon pork cutlet bowl and the pork curry.
For the other meals, read the ingredient list on the package. The illustration below shows where the allergen label stops.
The hot counter is easier to check. On the allergen pages for hot snacks, oden, steamed buns and Seven Cafe, 22 of 108 items list pork. Another 14 list beef, and 6 list gelatin. Our 7-Eleven Japan food database marks those items, and our 7-Eleven hot snacks guide covers counter items such as the nikuman steamed pork bun.
An allergen list is not a halal or vegan check. It does not cover alcohol, other animal ingredients or how the food is made. In our database, 18 of 119 items list none of the 8 required allergens. That does not make them vegan, since fish and meat are not among the 8.
To be sure, read the full ingredient list on the package. It is printed under the heading 原材料名 (genzairyo-mei), which means ingredient names. If you cannot read it, show the package to the staff and ask. Our guide to vegetarian, vegan and halal food in Japan has more phrases for asking.
Calories run from 258 kcal for the champon to 955 kcal for the tantanmen. Among the rice meals, the omurice is lightest at 503 kcal, followed by the oyakodon at 517 kcal. The pork curry and the gapao rice both have 524 kcal.
The heaviest rice meal is the tonkatsu bento at 914 kcal. The beef kalbi bento has 753 kcal, the katsudon 726 kcal and the nori bento 716 kcal. The karaage bento has 697 kcal, the gyudon 610 kcal and the hamburg steak 596 kcal.
Which konbini meal you find depends on the area
Only 1 of the 15 meals, the gyudon beef bowl, is listed for all of Japan. The other 14 are listed for some areas only, so the shelf in Osaka or Sapporo will not match the shelf in Tokyo.
The table below shows which of the 15 meals each area’s list includes. Tokyo, Kanagawa and Chiba get all of them.
| Area | Bento and rice bowls listed | Noodle meals listed |
|---|---|---|
| Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba | All eleven | All four |
| Kinki (Kansai: Osaka, Kyoto) | Gyudon, kalbi bento, pork curry, omurice, hamburg steak | Mini hiyashi chuka |
| Hokkaido | Gyudon, nori bento, oyakodon | None of the four |
| Kyushu | Gyudon, nori bento, pork curry, hamburg steak | Mini hiyashi chuka |
| Okinawa | Gyudon, oyakodon, katsudon, pork curry, hamburg steak | Mini hiyashi chuka |
The narrowest lists belong to the most expensive meals. The tonkatsu bento and the gapao rice are listed only for Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo and Kanagawa. The karaage bento adds Tochigi and Gunma to those four.
The gyudon is the one meal on this list that is sold everywhere. It costs 598 yen before tax and has 610 kcal.
Seven-Eleven Japan notes that a store may not carry every meal, even inside a listed area.
If you are planning by city, our convenience stores in Tokyo page shows how 7-Eleven compares with Lawson and FamilyMart there. For the wider picture beyond 7-Eleven, our guide to Japanese convenience store food picks the konbini foods worth trying first.
