Mon: a bean paste based dough and calzone-like. The bread is supper soft. They are served hot and in wrapped in paper. There are all kinds of filings, the one below appears to be a pizza mon. If you were really desperate to describe them---they could be loosely compared to an American Hot Pocket.
A 7-11 in Tokyo.

"If you think convenience store food is limited to potato chips and dodgy dried meats, then come to Japan, where chains such as Lawson’s, Family Mart and 7-Eleven offer salads, pasta, fruit cocktails, and sushi. Push past the cup noodles and corn dogs and you’ll find a bounty of (relatively) healthy and reasonably priced meals, and you won’t have to stoop to anything freeze-dried, deep-fried, or impaled on a stick."
