If you want to try 7-Eleven’s Kansha Mori (感謝盛り) supersized lineup, this is the week to do it. Wave 2 launches today, May 19, adding six more items to the campaign—and for exactly one week, through May 25, all 12 items from both waves will be available at the same time. After the 25th, the six Wave 1 items are gone for good. That makes May 19–25 the only seven-day window where you can grab everything from a 1 kg bowl of ramen to a 2.5x cheesecake, all at regular prices with 50%+ extra food.
The Wave 2 Lineup: 6 Items (May 19 – June 1)
Beef Bowl (Gyudon) / つゆまで旨い 牛丼 (¥645)
7-Eleven’s take on Japan’s most iconic fast meal gets a serious upgrade: 1.5x the rice, 2x the beef, and pickled ginger now added on top for the first time. Sweet-savory beef simmered in a soy-based broth over a mountain of rice—this is a legit gyudon experience without having to find a Yoshinoya.
Chilled Grated Yam Soba / 濃厚だし割りとろろの冷しぶっかけそば (¥529)
Cold buckwheat noodles with a rich dashi-infused grated yam topping—noodles, broth, and tororo all upsized. As the weather heats up, this is exactly the kind of meal you want: cold, savory, and refreshing.
Sausage & Egg Muffin / ソーセージエッグマフィン (¥311)
A chewy English muffin stacked with a thick Bologna sausage patty and a fried egg. The bread, sausage, and cheddar cheese are all upsized. If you need a hearty grab-and-go breakfast, this has you covered.
Chocolate Cream Pull-Apart Bread / チョコクリームのふわもちちぎりパン (¥170)
Soft, chewy, pull-apart bread rolls filled with chocolate cream, now 1.5x the regular size. At ¥170 it’s one of the cheapest items in the lineup, and makes a great breakfast or mid-afternoon snack.
New York Cheesecake Bar / かじるニューヨークチーズケーキ (¥291)
The standout of Wave 2. The Kansha Mori version is roughly 2.5x the usual size—at under ¥300, the value is hard to argue with. Rich cream cheese flavor with a clean hit of lemon on the finish. Easily shareable between two or three people, though you might not want to.
Salt Rice Ball / 塩むすび (¥156)
Just rice and salt—nothing else. This simple onigiri is the purest way to taste the quality of Japanese rice: subtly sweet, perfectly textured, and more satisfying than it has any right to be. Extra rice this time around.
Why May 19–25 Is the Only Week That Matters
It bears repeating: May 19 through 25 is the only week where all 12 Kansha Mori items are on shelves at the same time. After May 25, the six Wave 1 items—the Flame-Seared Chashu Fried Rice, the Tomita-supervised Mega Pork Ramen (over 1 kg for ¥734), the Nama Dorayaki with 2.4x whipped cream,
THE Egg Salad Sandwich, Corn & Mayo Bread, and Veggie Sticks—are gone for good. They won’t come back in “Kansha Mori” size. The Mega Pork Ramen and Nama Dorayaki in particular have been getting a lot of buzz on social media and in food media, so if you haven’t tried them yet, this week is your last window. Heading to the store in the morning is your best bet for finding them in stock.
Quick Tips for Visitors
If you only try two things from Wave 2, make them the New York Cheesecake Bar and the Gyudon. The cheesecake has the highest volume increase of all 12 items (2.5x at ¥291—hard to beat), and the gyudon is the most satisfying full meal in the bunch with 2x beef.
All prices listed include 8% consumption tax (reduced rate). Stock varies by store—items may not be available at every location.
