[2026 Edition] Vietnam's convenience stores are actually a treasure trove for souvenirs! 6 items recommended by local residents

Hello, I'm Hazuki from ít ít Việt Nam.

When you travel abroad, convenience stores are filled with products you don't see in Japan, which makes you want to peek inside, doesn't it?

In fact, there are many convenience stores in Vietnam, and they are surprisingly convenient for finding souvenirs. A nice perk is that they are more casual to drop into than supermarkets.

This time, I’d like to introduce some souvenir items you can buy at Vietnamese convenience stores, carefully selected by me, now in my 8th year living in Ho Chi Minh City♪

While traveling in Vietnam, shopping for souvenirs at convenience stores in town is surprisingly convenient.

You might think, "I should go to a supermarket for souvenirs, right?" but in reality, convenience stores also stock a variety of Vietnam-style snacks, coffee, and drinks.
