Nichirei 24 Hour Hot Foods Vending Machine Japan TRIBUTE: It was with great sadness that, at the end of March 2021, Japanese food company Nichirei announced that they’d be discontinuing their line of vending machines. In a country with as many vending machines as Japan, the loss of one particular type might not seem like anything to despair over, but Nichirei’s Hot Food machines were special.
Unlike the standard beverage-only machines that dot Japan, Hot Food offered, as promised, all sorts of hot food. The machines were especially common at highway rest stops, regional train stations, and other transportation hubs, and the flavor of their food, while not necessarily fine dining, was a telltale sign that “Yep, you’re on vacation and traveling in Japan.”
But after more than 30 years of faithful service, Nichirei decided to shut down and uninstall its Hot Food vending machines. Why you ask? Because over the past few decades convenience stores have proliferated across Japan, and extended their hours of business to a full 24 a day. Basically, Nichirei’s Hot Food machines can’t compete against the wider selection of snacks, meals, and munchies offered by convenience stores. RIP Nichirei 24 hour Hot Foods Vending Machines.
