Mario-Themed Food at 7-Eleven
Nintendo’s Mario has taken over the popular Japanese convenience store 7-Eleven across Japan as part of the Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary Campaign. 7-Eleven currently has 6 original menu items and various limited goods that will be available for a limited time.
Here’s a look at the 6 original menu items that are available for a limited time:
Mario’s Mixed Roll (Croquette, egg salad, and spaghetti)
The Mario’s Mixed Roll costs 183 yen ($1.74 USD) and is a bread roll filled with a creamy croquette, egg salad, and some spaghetti. Believe it or not, it’s a great combination and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Bowser’s Fire Breath Super Spicy (Fried chicken and chili sauce)
The Bowser’s Fire Breath Super Spicy costs 354 yen ($3.36 USD) and is a bread roll filled with succulent fried chicken coated with a spicy chili sauce that will hopefully give you the ability to spit fire like Bowser. It was quite spicy.
Yoshi’s Green Melon Bread (Custard and whipped cream)
Yoshi’s Green Melon Bread costs 151 yen ($1.43 USD) and is a green melon bread filled with custard and whipped cream. It’s a great counter to Bowser’s Fire Breath Super Spicy!
Princess Peach’s Dolce (Strawberry Jelly & cheese mousse)
The adorable Princess Peach’s Dolce costs 323 yen ($3.07 USD) and is a strawberry rare cheese with a bottom layer of strawberry jelly.
Super Star’s Milk Agar (Pineapple Sauce with agar)
The Super Star’s Milk Agar costs 226 yen ($2.14 USD) and is a milk agar pudding combined with a pineapple sauce to make the star really shine.
Fire Flower Steamed Curry Bun
The Fire Flower Steamed Curry Bun costs 140 yen ($1.33 USD) and is a mild tomato chicken curry steamed bun. While it won’t give you the power to throw bouncing fireballs, it’s a great item to pick up and eat on the go.
During the Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary Campaign at 7-Eleven, selected drinks will include a Mario-themed bottle cap with a total of 12 types to collect. The bottle caps we got were the Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986), Super Mario USA (1992), and Super Mario 64 (1996).
The 7-Eleven I visited also had some Mario-themed designs up to celebrate the Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary Campaign!
