Eating a slab of roast beef in Tokyo used to require trekking to fancy schmancy parts of town and forking out a lot of money. Now you can just walk over to your local Lawson and grab the new Roast Beef Bowl (¥690).
This hefty offering features rice, onions, a yogurt sauce and some nicely sized hunks of the titular meat — just don't expect decadence.
It is, after all, a convenience-store-born meal. It tastes OK, with every element at grocery-store-level quality. There is, however, one thing the Roast Beef Bowl excels at: volume. It provides enough meat to keep you stuffed for hours.
