Maybe in regards to konbini bread. But I'll be shucked if I haven't seen a crowded DONQ, Chococro or even a Russian pelmeni place (that last one was somewhere in Ginza this year).

However, there must be a market for them, seeing as there are more varieties out than colors of hair on a Sunday in Yoyogi Park.
