FamilyMart stores sell typical Japanese convenience store goods, including basic grocery items, magazines, manga, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks like sake, nikuman (steamed pork buns), fried chicken, onigiri/omusubi (rice balls), and bento. FamilyMart is known for its distinctive doorbell melody, which plays upon entering the store. The doorbells are exclusively made by Panasonic. The melody is referred to as Melody Chime No. 1 – Daiseikyou, and was originally developed for Panasonic by Yasuhi Inada in 1978.
