While the chain is famous for quirky souvenirs and affordable cosmetics, it also sells ready-to-eat bento boxes, sandwiches, and other food items like Henai Meshi, or "Peculiar Preference Food."

The Henai Meshi line aims to create meals that are liked by most people but also surprise and delight some, like the Bento with Fried Chicken Skin Only. The Five Melty Soft-Boiled Egg Sandwich, priced at 430 yen (US$2.70), now contains five eggs, making it a substantial meal weighing 418 grams (approximately 14.75 ounces). Food critics like P.K.
