Now thats crazy! Does it come out cooked to your liking? And to think I was amazed when my daughter bought hot corn soup from a vending machine in Kyoto.

Doesn't come out cooked, haha. There are some cooked food vending machines, but I was less than impressed with the one I tried years ago.

And that corn soup is so tasty, it's one of the things I was anticipating on this trip. Hot cans of coffee during the winter are also great. Nice, heavy steel (not Al) cans that always fool you into thinking there's one more sip left because of the weight, haha.

What about my cans?

gboss - When you're standing on the train platform in some out of the way location where the station is not protected from the weather and it's freezing, you really appreciate a hot canned coffee machine.

Only in Japan! That is amazing.

I can just imagine the conversation, "Who needs a butcher?I have a great relationship with the vending machine."

I would starve if I had to figure that out! 😂

The entire nation is a vending machine. I went to the Inari Shrine in Kyoto and the higher up the mountain trail you walked, the more expensive the stuff in the vending machines was

I was amazed at the vending machines when I lived in Japan. I remember when saw vending machines that sold 6 sizes or more a one beer. Everything from 125 mL cans to 2 liter bottles. My favorites were 2 L cans of Kirin with the plastic dragon head nozzle and integral handle. When you poured the beer, the dragons jaw would articulate and it made a kind of swooshie sound.

When I was in Okinawa, vending machines were everywhere. You could even get a Heineken @Elton’s BBQ

I was in Japan from 1966 - 1970. Where we were we didn't have the trains like they did on Honshu but on Hokkaido they had no vending machines but they had lots of vendors on the station platforms which were more than welcome - fruit, hot tea, coffee and pastries. Golf courses were wonderful. Every 4 holes there was a cart selling beer (Kirin and Sapporo), Suntory whisky, sushi, sashimi and other taste treats. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

There is a vending machine full of fishing lures in front of trophy tackle in Emory TX
