What this Shin-Okubo branch is like
This is a branch of 7-Eleven on いせ市ビル 5f in Shin-Okubo, a short walk from Shin-Ōkubo station, and it works the way a konbini should: shelves kept stocked, a hot cabinet by the checkout, and a small eat-in corner where you can sit down with what you bought.
Start with the onigiri. The rice balls are the thing to grab first, fresh enough to carry you through a morning, and they cost little. The bento boxes are the other dependable buy, a full boxed meal for a cheap lunch or dinner. From the heated counter, the fried items, karaage-kun among them, come out better than the price suggests. Chilled egg sandwiches and strawberry or mixed fruit sandwiches are what people pick up for breakfast.
The layout is tight. Shelves and stock crowd the aisles, so moving through with a bag takes a little patience at busy moments. The eat-in area holds only about five to seven seats, and in the morning tourists tend to fill them over breakfast. The ATM and the printing services work as they should, which matters if you need cash or a document printed mid-trip.
Spending stays small: ¥200–1,000 covers a snack or a bento, and the hot cabinet items sit at the low end of that. Staff move fast behind the counter.
Come here for a quick, cheap meal at any hour, or to stock up on breakfast before a day of walking. It suits anyone arriving late or leaving early, and anyone travelling with kids who need a snack on demand.

Anyone staying in Shin-Okubo who wants a cheap meal and a few eat-in seats will find it useful.
If you want to cook Korean food yourself rather than buy a ready meal, Chonggak-ne in Hyakunincho stocks instant noodles and snacks for Shin-Okubo's Korean Town.
The verdict
The aisles are cramped and the eat-in corner holds only a handful of seats, so it is not a place to linger, but for a cheap 24-hour meal in Shin-Okubo it does the job.
