What do you think about vending machines? They sell various sodas, coke, and sometimes energy drinks.
However, can you imagine that there are so many unique types of vending machines in my country? Because the vending machine tech in Japan is at a high level, for example, they have good functions to keep any products warm or cold.
So, this time, let me suggest my ranking of which machine is the most unique vending machine in Japan!
My ranking for the Vending Machines
3rd Oden vending machine
It is available that the Oden Vending machine (Oden is a Japanese-style stew) in the Akihabara area.
Thanks for the function which keeps products warm or cold. So, you don’t need to worry like (the soup became cold, didn’t it?).
OK. Let me go to the area and challenge it!
The taste was good! But I felt a little expensive. (300 yen. Which is about 3 dollars.)
2nd Canned bread vending machine
Do you think the bread is always on trays? Let me introduce this machine. It is a Canned bread vending machine. That machine is set on several occasions, for example, at Tokyo station and the Kichijozi area.
OK. Let me report on the uniqueness. In this case, I challenged that when I went to the Kichijozi area.
The conclusion is NOT SO BAD.
It was just the bread seasoned with strawberry flavor. The feature is that you can keep the quality as long as it is in a can. (This one would last for three years unless it opened. I thought it could be good as an evacuation food)
1st!!!! INSECT FOOD!!!!
They don’t stop to take evolution. However, just a few people would consume that one.
Behold! It is the vending machine for INCECT FOOD!
It is in the Kichijouzi area again. You can also choose what type of insects you want. That machine has crickets, silk warms, big water bags, and even tarantulas!!
Alright. Let me try it too…
To be honest… I don’t want to do it. But! Be ready everyone!!

Taste is, to be honest, OK.
That is like a hard rice cracker. I did not feel any taste till I chewed it many times. Strangely, the smell is not so bad. My nose catches only soy or source flavor.
In conclusion! Surprisingly, all of them were good. I figured out that they could be good foods for any evacuation time. Because, at least, they would last for three years and more. On the other hand, they could be a good supply at any party time.
