Fujisawa groceries

"How can you feed yourself without a car?", some Americans and Canadians ask.

As mentioned before, a Lawson's conbini (convenience store) is directly downstairs, though that's admittedly unusual.

This is just from popping in and out of it, without mentally cataloguing everything it does carry (thus the 'presumably'.) You could probably cook a balanced diet just from it alone, if you wanted.

[Edit: okay, so I checked several other conbini today, and mine is unique in passing for a small grocery store.]
