7-11s’ rice microwaveable?

My husband and I are currently traveling in Japan. We're trying to keep basic food costs down as much as possible, and we've been doing ok, but quite fancy some rice. Most hotels/hostels have microwaves, so I was wondering if those containers you see in convenience stores, with the solid bottom and rip-off tops, are microwavable. (Can't read Japanese).

that is what the are for. you open a corner and microwave for 1 to 2 mins.

you can also buy them at the supermarket.

And at the 100 yen store! Keep an eye out for them - they have loads of good cheap food items. There is one in Asakusa, about a 5 minute walk from the station.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

How much is the cost of the rice from 7-11?

Thanks.

A typical pack of 200grams (1 portion) worth of cooked rice should cost about 150 yen.

Btw, I hope you know that convenience stores like 7/11 will microwave almost any prepared food merchandise for you at the spot.

Also, if you fancy rice that much, you may want to consider purchacing/bringing a tiny electric rice cooker and cook the rice yourself.

7-11 also provide hot water for instant ramen noodle snack.
That may be cheeper than rice.
