/ck/ - Food & Cooking

this one has been there since the Edo period

it's cock

abandoned in the snow, poor thing

fucking hell, for a country renowned for it's vending machines there sure aren't many. this took way too much time to find.

very sneaky one

Ahhhh, i see, now that i'm in the city theres vending machines everywhere.

>>13486798
I thought sapporo only made beer

>>13486811
I found one in an abandoned road literally in the middle of nowhere during the last game, not sure were does it get electricity to work

>>13486640

what even the fuck is this place? looks like the moon or some kind of base, I'm sure you are not cultivating pumpkins in there, you can't fool me japan!

>>13486811
But you always find one.

>>13486840
>hiroshima
oh no!

It's not a vending machine but it pisses me off that Japan has 7-11s but there are none in Western TN.

>>13486922
well, they are more japanese than american now, can't compete with wallmart

Found one with what I assume is cigarettes.

where are the panty machines?

>>13486948
I wonder how do they keep kids away from buying cigs on those things

>>13486980
mini nazis roam the streets enforcing justice.

>>13486978
>they worship rocks
>not even cool rocks or rocks that resemble something
>just plain rocks
at least my ancestors carved dicks on their rocks, wtf japan?

>>13486984
>saitama
one punch man confirmed nazi skin head

>>13486980
Those machines require a special card only adults can apply for, but it wasn't always this way. Before that there was nothing stopping kids from using them.

a dull machine, but a pleasant tableau

this website and i have differing opinions on what constitutes urban

I started off inside some kind of store. Going by the display it could had been a pawn shop.
I take one step outside and this is what I see.

>>13487026
>urban
>stone brick street
Reminds me of Old City, although the street looks better done.

>>13487056
you probably didn't check the "urban" slot, because if you started inside of a building it most likely you had the "indoor" slot checked

here's an infographic from one of the past thread

>>13487116
My taskbar is being fucky so I couldn't tell what the last options were. I guessed blindly.

My god I found them

>>13487909
Now I'm in the middle of farm country and I found this beauty

>>13487008
Rocks are incredible

>>13486978
You are rreeeeaallly pushing the definition of machine there pal

>>13488001
The city at last, actually pretty close to Akihabara, going to look for a fabled panty machine.

>>13488024
First food one I have seen

>>13488032
What does Fujisoba mean?

>>13488001
Comfy

>>13488047
It seems to be a noodle shop chain. Also I found a fucking cat cafe, unfortunately the camera crew didn't go to the sex shop in Akihabara so I can't find the panty machine

>>13488067

>>13486812
Sapporo has one of the largest red light districts in the country. Much better prices than in Tokyo.

>>13488070
Ok I have no idea what I have stumbled upon. I think I'm done

>>13486922
We used to have 7-11s all over memphis in the early 00s

i found a herd of them

>>13488047

>>13488211
Thanks.

>>13488087
My guesses:
Gumby cosplayer
People in pajamas
Guy about to get into a fight with two assholes
Outside Go-Kart racetrack where you have to dress up in stupid costumes
Some Japanese bullshit.
People with a cunning plan to troll the internet when they know a camera car is rolling by.

>>13486922
Jap 711s are really based. You can get actual food there, pay bills, cash checks etc. They're like ACTUALLY convenient.

>>13486723
can you imagine what the blacks did to that machine the minute the moon came up?

Started in some dense residential, no machines for a while. But followed the crowd of people walking and found a street with this one. This makes me really excited for my trip in September.

I know that Japan is low crime, but some of these places look like American ghettos.

>>13488531
Not even close.
t. Detroiter

These things always drop me in some nice semi-rural area when I pick urban but there is this vending machine outside what I assume is a general store.

The site dropped me out in the middle of some rural coastal town.
I think I made a mistake by heading NW towards the mountains...
I forgot that there are probably a few vending machines near the fishing ports and piers.

>>13488087
>unrelated to nintendo

>>13488632
Imagine living in a tiny box.

>>13488645
I think its abandoned, actually.

>>13488645
I'm not convinced that's a house.

>>13488654
Probably not.
Looks like some kind of storage building perhaps.

>>13488531>>13488559

They look nothing like it and I live in the Detroit of the south.

even though I checked urban it kept putting me in wooded rural areas and heritage sites, got to tour some really cool temples before finding this shy white kouhai with a crush on blue senpai

>>13488680
Try saving them in .jpg so they're not 22MB.

>>13486840
This looks like one of the ghetto parts of Las Vegas.

>>13488690
People like you are why we can't have nice image quality.

>>13488962
You're taking a low res picture of a transformed and blended set of lossy low res pictures. Not really magazine cover stuff.

Found a standard looking vending machine near what looks like a store.This looks more rural than urban, oh well.

>>13488984
Nice .jpg - you are the all-star of this thread.

Thanks, I try my best

didnt check the urban slot, literally landed in the middle of a rice field, but still found a vending machine ~ 200 metres away

>>13489042
God bless ye japan.

I found this one in the middle of a bunch of housing.

>>13486640
Oh man I remember this thread from last year, good times. Love this ck minigame.

>>13486844
GUNDAM construction facility

>>13488024
look at those gringos in the background, disgusting

>>13488087
do they really believe nintendo invented Go karting?

>>13486810
Not as sneaky as Pearl Harbor tho

>>13488659
>when your house looks like shit but at least the government funded coke machine looks good

also fuck this! wasted like 10 minutes going around what appears to be the only town in japan without vending machines, so here's a picture of what looks like a bar for people with hydrocephalus, and no, I'm not going to activate my windows

>>13489434
ah! my picture

>>13489434
>house

thats more like a garage/workshop

>>13486812
They produce soft drinks in Japan as well as beer. So does Suntory which is mostly known for Whiskey overseas.

>>13488285
And all that amazing Onigiri for the picking, anytime.

>>13486820
I've been to Japland a couple times now and one of my favorite places is Ishigakijima, in the south pacific, tropical, jungles, beaches and that. I remember cruising down a random jungle road, grown in on the sides, really rural and foreign feeling and lo and behold at the side of the road a vending machine. Stopped and got a melon soda. Ice cold. I'll try and find it on Google but I don't remember the exact road and there's a bunch.

>>13488204
you can just tell the alpha male

I'm not sure why this is partially blurred.

>>13489688
probably the labels had the face of a person printed on them and the google algorithm fucked it up. it usually happens with Colonel sanders a lot too

>>13489697
That makes sense, thank you.

after miles and miles of endless creepy mountain roads I finally found signs of civilization

>>13489728
if it wasn't so blurred this could make a good wallpaper

>>13489387
There's a thing in Tokyo where some companies convince dumb tourists to dress up as Mario Kart characters and take go karts onto the streets of Akihabara, presumably as gaijin natural selection

The authorities fucking hate it

i dont know if this is even a vending machine but its the closest thing ive found and clearly isnt in working order. fuck japan. third world hell hole outside of major cities. no wonder suicide is so high here

>>13489776
coffee machine, very old, probably from early 90's

>>13489776
That's a canned coffee vending machine.

>>13489764
Are go karts street legal there?

>>13489764
>tfw it's real

looks to be coke and suntory. i also saw an old farm shack with kawaii sign flags selling orchard produce.

coke and boss pretty nice.

>>13489981
disappointing, I thought they were selling stuff

i swear to fucking god
everytime i do these, they always throw me right on the outskirts of the city where its still inside the city's define borders

>>13490177
welcome to the rice fields gaijin!

two machines in the background plus 2 weaboos in the front

>>13486640
i found these two so far

>>13486640

>>13488984
this looks like a place I would want to live bros

>>13486640

>>13487021
was the same in the US
course now we outlawed cigarette vending machines entirely

From Yonezawa, Yamagata.

>>13490088
Very kino.

>>13490655
This is great. Is it a range?

>>13489883
The 2 vending machines ARE the urban center

>>13489764
Something about it really irritates me. I guess because it's just tourist trap gaijin shit, I've never seen a picture of those go karts with a japanese person in them.

>>13486922
>but there are none in Western TN.
US 7-11's have been shit since the Japanese bought them out.

>>13491850
Yeah I remember these into the 90s, there being one at one specific grocery out of a few in the area. It was the only one, even then I found it odd. You can still find cig vending machines in bars though.

>>13488087
These are street legal go carts in japan it’s famous around the area I work. You can pick any costume also Nintendo tried to sue them thus the not related to Nintendo stickers

>>13489809
Yeah but you need a valid lisence of course

>>13488666
You from Shreveport too>>13488680

>>13493479
country roads, take me home

>>13493471
Don't they tend to be crushed by SUVs and trucks because they're too low to see? Seems like the sort of thing that should be outlawed on public roads.

>>13492167
Ran into one just like that

>>13486980

Here in the Netherlands to buy cigarettes you first have to scan your id-card before the purchase.

>>13489434
That's not a house dude.
Looks like a storage shed or some kind of workshop.

>>13489797
Are you certain that it's from the early 90s? By looks of it I would rather say 80s or perhaps even 70s.
>>13489776
>third world hell hole outside of major cities. no wonder suicide is so high here
Isn’t rural Japan suffering the worst from depopulation due to the fewer and fewer young people all packing their shit and moving to the cities, causing the villages, together with the subtropical climate, to fall into disrepair very quickly?

>>13494160
jap cars are pretty low and small

Driving school

Wew that took a while. What's the little cabin, is there actually someone working in there?

It's kinda eerie how you almost never see anyone in these pictures. Everything always looks closed too.

I didnt use mapcrunch because I'm a phone poster so I just zoomed into a random rural area and it took me 15 seconds lmao

Maybe they have a reputation for being shit at driving but they sure seem to be great at parking with all these nice cars carefully backed into tiny ass places.

>>13497888
Forgot pic

>>13497896
>backing into a space is an accomplishment
Do you have a licence anon?

>>13497858
yeah, it seems only big cities have people walking in the streets, rural places seem to be abandoned Silent Hill style.
my theory is probably their respective city council previously announced the day and hour the google car would be taking photos of the local streets and asked people to stay inside so they don't interfere with it, and japan being japan they probably listen. completely the opposite from other places were they paint dicks on the walls or run around the google car naked.

>>13489820
>>13489764

being asian i can guarantee the japs are loling @ these dumb gaijin inside

with the japanese you can never tell because they are masters of the 2 faces

>>13497930
Backing into a regular parking spot is one thing, backing into a space that looks barely wide enough to even get out after, from a road less wide than the car's length have is somewhat impressive. Not that much on an absolute scale, but relatively speaking.

>>13497935
Probably something like that. Even if it's not as capitalistic as the US, surely the vending machine being there (and often 2-3 of them) means there's enough people buying drinks to be profitable or at least break even.

>>13497952
notice how every single japanese car is new, they get them for cheap form their local car making companies, the ones they hit and dent trying to park in those cramped spaces are shipped to third world countries in latino america.

Looks like a stone carver.

Who /boss/ here?

>>13497952
>Backing into a regular parking spot is one thing, backing into a space that looks barely wide enough to even get out after, from a road less wide than the car's length have is somewhat impressive.
It's the same thing.

Wala you can reverse into any parking space now.

>>13497978

>>13486640
Checked urban, got Hokuto, Yamanashi in the middle of a bunch of farms. Apparently wikipedia lists it as a "city" even though it only has about 200 people per square mile.

you came to the wrong neighborhood baka gaijin

>>13497965
And New Zealand. Loads of second hand jap cars on the road there. They call them "NZ new".

Probably the one and only vending machine in this cute little farming village. Right next to a couple seed stands, which is fitting. Several garden plots nearby but not within view.

>>13494160
>SUVs and Trucks in Japan
It's not America dude

>>13498248
They still have commercial traffic, dingus.
And yes, it's common knowledge that any accident in a keitora is a death sentence.

>>13498248
Saw only about 3 or 4 Itasha when I was in Akihabara over the course of 3 days.
One of the nights there was just a plain 10th gen Suburban parked by its lonesome near the electric town side exit street of the JR exit. Felt so massive compared to everything I had been seeing till that point

Is it so much to ask? For a world where I can buy any and all of my needs from a vending machine a la Japan? A world where I never again shall need to interact with another human being, to lay against the warm humming case of a wonderous machine as these on a cool fall night replete with shining stars and moon?

>>13498447

>>13498605
*on top of three
I can't even count to three, sad times

I saw a vending machine inside of the Akihabara Don Quijote near the Sofmap.
it had logos on women and contained bottles of fluid and some other shit in it
but i doubt its visible from the outside because it was in the right corner of the corner entrance

>>13489764
i was looking for work recently and actually found the ad for this job

So much of Japan is ugly, concrete streetscape devoid of life and character.
Why does Japan get a pass on this? How does this happen to a people so predisposed with aesthetics?

Japan sure has a weird amount of variety in just about everything. Here we have Kirin and Asahi vending machines. Both are well known internationally for their beer, but here they are with (I would assume) several non alcoholic products

>>13499997
From what I've seen, that's just the business districts. The housing is rather pretty when it's not in the city or slums.

>>13499997
>>13500008
Case in point, I've been seeing a lot of houses like this one.

>we will never find the legendary pantsu machine

Japan is so odd. I've never seen a vending machine not against a wall, or at least not in a location that could be viewed as a wall. They just put them anywhere the want.

>>13500542
took me a while to notice the little paper with /ck/ written on it. now vandalize the machine, put your dick in it

>>13500646
i have penis inspection day this week cant take any chances

>>13500542
why does that coke look different? its more light brown and different bottle shape. buy some pls anon

>>13500659
It's exactly the same. The thing in the picture is a fake bottle with an image of coke on paper inside a plastic bottle for show.

>>13500659
they are fake, made of plastic and there's nothing inside, japan and china have a big industry of fake looking food, the only difference is the chinese will actually feed it to you

>>13500667
>>13500670
im guessing everything else is just for display too?

>>13500654
>i have penis inspection day this week cant take any chances

>>13500809
in this particular vending machine yes

What a homely little spot

>>13501700
that looks like a crack den desu senpai

>>13486640
The one thing that's amazing is the streets are absolutely clean and the vending machines aren't behind jail bars like the US. I guess that's why /pol/tards get so butthurt about japan.

I'm kinda curious how the business agreements are established for placement of these

Do the municipalities or private owners sell rights to use the area as a placement?

>>13500542
How are you enjoying Okinawa, boot?

>>13501968
this is in shinjuku

>>13501998
You didn't answer the question.

>>13501776
obviously the owners sell the space or in case of convenience stores the machines are usually given to them for free and they keep a percentage of the sales

This looks like something out of a commercial. Its a hot muggy day, you're out driving and pass this bad boy on the side of the road. You bring your rambler to a screeching halt and step out.

kinda aesthetic.

So many drink and cig machines but not a lot of food machines.
I know there's not really a "eat while walking" culture over there but it still seems kind of strange.

>>13504808
because there is a convenience store every two feet. The amount of money it would cost to power a machine that makes food wouldnt be worth what it would bring and and would likely not be very tasty. Even at the simplest level of keeping something warm that is in a package, thats what the convenience store is for. you basically never eat outside because there is nowhere to throw the trash away unless you go to a convenience store which brings back the first point. there are occasionally ice cream vending machines however.

is it possible to go to japan and live entirely off vending machines?

>>13506218
How do they stop kids from using it? Do they just never put one out of sight of a store worker?

The hunt for this one was cozy.

I'm really enjoying this game desu

80 clicks! BEPSI!
With a mousepad no less.. last year I played this damn game and got stuck on the healthiest stretch of jogging track in all of Japan. With a mouse, after about 200+ clicks I gave up.

It keeps putting me in Wakayama
Isn't this supposed to be random?

As an american it's so crazy to see these vending machines stocked with money and goods just sitting at the end of a street or parking lot right next to some skeezy looking apartments, not tipped over and looted. Not damaged, not placed under bright light conspicuously, not chained to a wall, no mesh rock shield on the front, not even bolted down. Apartments = poor minorities, and they don't play nice with OPP.

Like how do young punks not kick these things open to steal what's inside? Or throw rocks at them? Or even unplug them to purposely spoil what's inside.

Damn you seem like you're from a shithole neighborhood.

>>13510049
>Like how do young punks not kick these things open to steal what's inside?
There's usually a guy, or group of people that watches them. Like security guards, but a more informal Japanese version.

>>13510050
Yeah okay nobody fucks with vending machines in your gated community, great, so therefore the vending machines I drive by by the dozens every day in places I don't live must be the anomaly.

>>13510053
So if some turds were walking along this road >>13486840 and started kicking that machine, some hunched over sensei would come out with a bamboo rod and chase them off?

>>13510054
>Yeah okay nobody fucks with vending machines in your gated community, great, so therefore the vending machines
Nobody really fucks with the vending machines in my city, because they're usually in high traffic areas, and/or armoured the fuck up.
Plus everything has a camera pointed at everything nowadays.

>>13510057
>and started kicking that machine, some hunched over sensei would come out with a bamboo rod and chase them off?
Yea, something like that, or whoever owns the vending machine will start posting up guys to watch it.

its called upbringing/social expectations

in general east asians dont vandalise for no reason/just for kicks

same reason why you wouldnt dirty up a nice clean toilet for no reason

What shithole city do you live in?

fucking farming towns....
470 god damn clicks

that's what i'm wondering. if i were drunk enough, and i was still hanging out with some of my friends fro high school and we came across a god damn treasure chest of beer in the middle of no where?
ppfffffttttt yeah right. i'm in college, and i shake the shit out of every vending machine i can already.

japan lacks certain kinds of people that usa is full of...if you get what i mean

>>13510080
Nah. The Japanese has their criminal element. They just handle most of everything without police intervention, and the police will ignore a lot of things unless a foreigner is around to take the blame.

It's been ages this I've seen this thread, always enjoyed these threads. I found standard vending machines, but I really can't do justice to just how pretty the scenery is around them
>>13502053
I landed somewhere similar in the last thread, very aesthetic.
>>13510049
As a brit, it is weird for me as well, I don't think I've ever saw one outdoors in a public place like a park or a street. Even if it is vandalised, the police will do fuckall, I doubt you will even be able to get insurance for it.

>>13510067
>>13510086
Japan doesn't have a 12=50 element.

i cant find vending machine but only big marshmallows

>>13510086
and they dont do mindless vandalism like wrecking of vending machines (its like public property)

everyone uses vending machines so why would you want to damage them?

>>13510095
>I don't think I've ever saw one outdoors in a public place like a park or a street.
They have them in parks, and a lot of public places in America. That other anon is probably from a trailer park in Detroit.

>>13510100
They call them Koreans, and sinos.

>>13510107
>and they dont do mindless vandalism like wrecking of vending machines

I'm pretty sure that most of the vandals aren't vandalising for shuts, and giggles, and are actually targeting the merchandise, and money.
Japan does have their share of amphetamine addicts, and extorted individuals that need to acquire money.

This makes me want to go to the more rural places in Japan. I have yet to be placed anywhere that I would qualify as "urban"

免許証とか読み取らせないと買えないようになってるよ

Something that occured to me when I was travelling Hokkaido in February when temperatures are consistently below freezing, the vending machines are keeping cold drinks warm.

>>13510995
that sounds cute

Too lewd?

Hard to tell but it seems to just be drinks

BONUS: overflowing trash bin

Man. American here.

Cruising around... a LOT of Japan looks like complete shit. Rusty tin shacks, unsafe looking structures, old shitbox cars, moss covered walls, untidy roads, everything looks cheap, small and dilapidated. Sad.

>>13514521
A lot of japan is destroyed and rebuilt repeatedly. Tokyo for example is usually unaffected by natural disasters luckily because of location but many part of japan are destroyed during events that end up being a small rumble or just heavy rain for a day. The last major typhoon earlier in 2019 was just a day of strong rain but just an hour outside tokyo for example, cars were dragged away and buildings completely destroyed. Civilians on small boats riding around in what used to be their neighborhood. A lot of buildings are built with the intention of being temporary. Also the traditional lifestyle of pre modern japan is something the people that live in rural towns still enjoy. Older people that grew up without electricity or heat don't have a problem with it. Basically everyone moves to a major city when they become an adult. Small towns are almost exclusively old people and children. However one thing to understand too is that it costs nothing to live in these places compared to most other countries.

Dropped i the middle of a field somewhere, wasn't more than a 5 minute walk to the nearest machine tho.

Literally took me three seconds.

I didn't know japs had coin laundries

>>13515755
why? they sound like a god send for an autistic sararyman living in a shoebox and having anxiety about talking to people

>>13515755
They have coin laundry facilities everywhere in Japan. I spent a few nights in an adult DVD rental shop they provide a private booth to 'sleep' in and they provided showers and coin laundry machines. If you can travel light, you really don't need to stay in hotels in Tokyo.

>>13515755
does any country not have them? japanese people seem to all think coin laundry is a unique japanese thing and are surprised others have them

>dumped me in the middle of some mountain
>walk for like 10 minutes, no civilization in sight
>see some isekai truck in the distance and decide to follow it
>another 10 minutes of walking around farms and old broken houses
>finally a gas station!
>only vending machine I could find is pic related, not even sure if it works.

The "overseas reactions" fags did it again. See if your post made it.

Probably a greenhouse/farm

>>13519320
lol, I can't believe my post would end in that place

I'm just stuck in this picnic area. It's very nice but I can't click anywhere.

reminder 40% of vending machines are in fact japanese people cursed to live as vending machines for 100 years

>>13516392
They're usually in the ghettos with lots of weekly rentals, because even halfway decent apartments have built in washer/dryer combos.

found this one pretty quick and HOLY fuck bro! like, fix your house, all the other houses around are pretty neat, this one is the only one who shits in the neighborhood.

Holy fuck and you call us nanny state.

>>13510095
The concept of putting alcohol in a vending machine in the middle of nowhere or even on a random street corner is such a foreign concept because here some random chav would just smash it open and steal the contents.

>>13520622
This is my fetish.

>>13520783
it's not russia my dude

>>13488024
A rare Dr. Pepper sighting. I think I only saw it around Akihabara.

>>13488032
Oh, I've eaten at that place. Nice little comfort food shop. The vending machine actually just gives you a ticket of what you want to order, which you then hand to someone inside. It's a fairly common method of ordering fast food in Japan.
