7-Eleven Japan is pulling out a serious deal for early June: from Wednesday, June 3 through Saturday, June 6, every piece of hot fried food at the register counter goes half price. There’s a catch—the discount only runs from 4 PM to 8 PM each day—but if your sightseeing schedule puts you near a konbini during those hours, this is one of the best snack deals you’ll find in Japan.
The star of the show is Nanachiki (ななチキ), 7-Eleven’s signature boneless fried chicken. Normally ¥232 before tax, it drops to just ¥116 during the sale. Here’s everything you need to know.
How the Sale Works
The “Agemono Super Sale” (揚げ物スーパーセール) runs for four consecutive days. Every day, the discount window is 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM—a four-hour flash sale. During that window, all fried items and frankfurters at the hot food counter are marked down to half their standard tax-exclusive price. No app needed, no coupon required—just walk in and buy.
What’s on Sale and How Much You’ll Save
Here are the headline items and their sale prices (all prices before tax):
Nanachiki (ななチキ) — 7-Eleven’s signature boneless fried chicken. Normally ¥232, sale price ¥116.
Zakuchiki (ザクチキ) — A spicier take on the fried chicken with a crunchier coating. Normally ¥232, sale price ¥116.
Agedori (揚げ鶏) — Classic Japanese-style fried chicken. Normally ¥232, sale price ¥116.
American Dog (アメリカンドッグ) — Japan’s version of a corn dog, dipped in a slightly sweet batter. Normally ¥139, sale price ¥69.
BIG Pork Frank (ビッグポークフランク) — A thick, juicy sausage. Normally ¥198, sale price ¥99.
Beyond these highlights, the sale covers the full range of hot counter items: karaage sets (5-piece packs), fried takoyaki (3 or 6 pieces), fried gyoza (4 pieces), and more. Basically, if it’s behind the register and it’s been deep-fried, it’s probably half off.
What’s Not Included
Bakery items from the “Seven Café Bakery” line—like the in-store curry bread and donuts—are not part of this sale.
The deal also can’t be combined with other in-store discount promotions, though coupon discounts can be stacked on top. If an item is already marked down with 7-Eleven’s “Eco-da-ne” food waste reduction label, the half-price discount applies to the already-reduced price, which means even deeper savings.
Why Travelers Should Care
Japan’s convenience store fried food is in a league of its own. Nanachiki isn’t some limp gas station chicken—it’s a thick, juicy, boneless piece that’s freshly fried in-store. For travelers walking all day between temples, train stations, and shopping streets, a quick konbini stop for fried chicken is practically a cultural experience.
During this sale, you could grab a Nanachiki and an American Dog for roughly ¥200 before tax (about ¥204 after tax, or under $1.40 USD). That’s a filling late-afternoon snack for less than the price of a bottle of water at some tourist spots. 7-Eleven has around 21,000 stores across Japan, so you’re never far from one—just look for the orange, green, and red stripes.
One practical tip: popular items like Nanachiki can sell out during the sale window, especially toward 7–8 PM. If there’s something specific you want, aim for the earlier side of the 4–8 PM window.
