There are so many things you can buy from vending machines in Japan.
Flowers, toys, cigarettes, hamburgers, ice cream, fresh vegetables, DVDs, cup noodles, and so on.
I found this vending machine which sells curry udon and Oden (Japanese style pot-au-feu). At the price of 300 yen, you can enjoy hot meals.
Oden-kan (means canned Oden) were sold in vending machines at Akihabara. Because it was displayed and sold like regular drinks (yeah it's a bit of surprising when you see it at the first time!), Oden-kan became so popular among Akihabara boys in late 1990s. When media covered the trend, Oden-kan became a mainstream hit! Now, Oden-kan are sold outside of Akihabara.
