7-Eleven konbini in Tokyo are now offering fresh fruit smoothies

Leave it to our trusty convenience stores to stock everything you could ever want, and more. While freshly brewed coffee and ready-to-eat hot meals are a regular sight at our local konbini, some 7-Eleven outlets have jumped on the health food trend by offering fresh fruit and veggie smoothies.

Since July 2021, selected 7-Elevens around Tokyo have started stocking cups of frozen fruit in the freezer section; these cups are similar to the ones used for iced coffee. Once purchased, the cup just needs to be placed in the special DIY smoothie machine, where the frozen fruit will be blended up instantly into a delicious cooling drink.

Currently there are four Seven Cafe smoothies available at ¥300 each: Strawberry Banana Soy, Double Berry Yoghurt, Mango Pineapple and Green Smoothie. In Tokyo, fancy juice bars often charge a hefty price tag, so these affordable and convenient smoothies are definitely a welcoming sight. 

The photos featured here were taken at the 7-Eleven in front of Tokyo’s Kojimachi Station (4-3 Nibancho, Chiyoda). Seven Cafe smoothies are available at a growing number of 7-Eleven locations around Tokyo and Japan.

To find one close to you, 7-Eleven now has a dedicated search function on its website where you can look up locations that offer smoothies.
