7-Eleven Minamiazabu 5 Gaiennishi-dori Shop — Konbini in Azabu, Tokyo

This is a branch of 7-Eleven on Gaien-Nishi Street in Azabu, and the first thing you notice is the shape of it: a long, narrow room that runs back from the street, with the toilets in the back-left corner once you are inside.

The reason to pick this branch over another one close by is the eat-in area. It turns a quick stop into a place to sit down with a light snack and take a break, which is more than most konbini give you.

Those toilets are worth knowing about: two of them, spacious, with a baby chair and a fitting board, plus toilet seat cleaner. If you are travelling with a small child, that changes how long a stop here can be.

Spending is modest and predictable: ¥200–1,000 covers a snack or a bento. One thing to keep in mind is that items listed in the app coupons may not all be carried here, so treat the coupon list as a guide rather than a promise.

Staff are often from overseas and get the register moving quickly. It does its job well.
