Autumn Swordfish Issue 13: I Really Want to Go to a Convenience Store!

Autumn Swordfish Issue 13: "I Really Want to Go to a Convenience Store!" Before spring flower viewing outings, after quenching thirst from summer sports, on a hungry autumn afternoon, or during a cold winter commute in light clothing... From morning till late at night, the companion by your side during every critical moment isn't always a close friend or family member, but perhaps the "convenience store" found everywhere on the street!? This close neighbor, embodying Japanese department stores, curated selections, cuisine, and home living, serves as a local encyclopedia, a hub for trend research, and an all-night diner for gastronomic delights. What astonishing secrets lie within Japanese convenience stores, essential for foreign travelers and relied upon by local Japanese? This issue of #AutumnSwordfish conducts on-site street interviews with 70 Japanese citizens to investigate who truly makes the best fried chicken and cake in Japanese hearts. It gathers editors-in-chief of Taiwanese and Japanese magazines, designers, curation store directors, photographers, and more, to recommend their "ultimate" convenience store finds; it also directly visits the studio of Japan's leading creative director, Manabu Mizuno, to uncover the exquisite relationship between product packaging design and convenience stores... A convenient life, seemingly ordinary yet far from simple, awaits around the corner, ready for your arrival. Ah~ I really want to go to a convenience store right now!
