Eating ONLY what I can win from Japanese claw games #japan #japantravel #travel

For the next 24 hours, I only get to eat what I can win from Japanese claw games. Thankfully, Japan is so obsessed with claw machines and chance games that this is possible, but I’m absolutely terrible at them. So, I might be going very hungry. I wanted to win two entre, a snack, and a dessert. So, I went for this machine here. It was filled with Japanese chowters and soups. My thought process was they’d be hardier than ramen. Every time I thought I’d won, the little arm would go up and nothing would fall. But I persisted and persisted and on what I told myself would be my last try. Absolute jackpot. Man, I hope these things aren’t disgusting because I won a month’s worth. Now, back for lunch. I went with the corn pottage. And let me tell you something, it wasn’t terrible. But I’ll be trying this one for breakfast. Time to win my snack. I failed miserably here. So, I decided to move on. I thought this one would be good because it was a big box. Clearly not talented enough for this one. But then I saw these chocolate covered ruffles. Bingo. Finally, for dessert, I’m ashamed of what went down on this machine. 2,000 yen later and I went a single Kit Kat. When late night rolled around, these were a 20 out of 10. Now, another cup of corn pottage. Had my Kit Kat for a late night snack and finally woke up to this. Really wanted to start my day with anything but this. But this was actually a winner. Genuinely enjoyed this. And boom. To answer the question no one has ever asked, can you survive in Japan on nothing but arcade winnings? Yes. Yes, you can if you love corn.

This went better than expected. Thanks Japan.
