What’s the best way to kill time while waiting for a tire change? Eating your way through an infinite amount of retro vending machines, of course! Rat Sunrise, the creatively named tire repair shop, added a collection of older, rare vending machines to keep their customers entertained while they wait. From its humble beginnings, “The Retro Vending Machine Place” has become a hit on social media and attracted many visitors to check out its unique offerings.
Shizuka went to explore this collection vending machine on a cold winter day; in order to warm up, she sought out the machines serving hot food. From ramen to burgers, these machines offer all sorts of meal options. Check out all the things you can buy from these blast-from-the-past vending machines, and stay tuned to find out Shizuka’s recommendation for hot(!) vending machine food.
FEATURED FOODS
-Black Sugar “Genmai” Rice Drink: a sweet drink made from brown rice
-New Yorker Sandwich: “New Yorker” in name only; a random mix of pita bread, fried chicken, mayo, and some mystery potatoes
-Spicy Curry: the classic Japanese comfort food served with rice
-Cheeseburger: The accidental burger, this cheeseburger comes out of the machine hot and ready to eat. Hopefully, Shizuka will get her teriyaki burger next time!
-Chashu Ramen: Soy-sauce based soup served with ramen noodles and braised pork slices
-Taiyaki: Fish-shaped waffle-like dessert filled with azuki (red) bean paste
