I know this video was uploaded a long time ago but I'd like to thank you for your time and effort you put into showing us people who live in different countries how it's like inside Japan's store :D
I watched the whole thing, never once losing interest. Really gives me a bit of helpful insight as I plan on moving to Japan in the future. Thanks Cory! :D
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to show us this part of Japan. You were so thorough that it felt as if I was actually there shopping. This is my first video of yours that I’ve watched but I subscribed before I was even half way through and look forward to watching more of your videos.
The selection of anything and everything at this market is wonderful. I could indulge my love of Japanese foods to the extreme. The selection of fish and prepared foods are amazing. I would love to be able to shop at a place like this.
@@CoryMay81 yeah men don't be sorry longer means better views on what japanese supermarket sells and how big is the supermarket as well and the prices as well . In japan supermarket when the products is nearly Gonna be expired don't they sell it cheaper ?
Love the video! Planning a trip to Japan next year, hopefully all the quarantine/restrictions will be lifted by then. I didn’t think the avocados were that small, where I live they’re about that size. As far as price goes very similar to what I pay for food, thanks for showing. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
LOL, the candy Aisle IS actually what I was waiting for! I saw it in the thumbnail, and thought maybe I recognized a bag of a reloatively-modern/recent product addition we have here in the US.... "Smart Sweets" Sweet Fish gummie candies. The bag on the shelf in the picture is, of course, something else, but it got me curious and had me skip to the candy section 😆Good vibes in this video though, thank you for taking us on a tour!
@@CoryMay81 Yo Cory! thanks for the reply! Yes, you are exactly right, they are stylized after Swedish Fish, and even contain the Carnauba Wax, but are a more recent product produced by a startup company and formulated as a healthier reconstruction of a popular candy, not even containing any standard sugar, or any artificial sweeteners or sugar-alcohols. They skip gelatin also on several of their gummy-products, and most items from the company are heavy on using pectins and various plant-based soluable (soluble?) fibers. Pretty interesting... their peach rings have awesome flavor. Take care and enjoy this springtime 💚💗
I loved every minute of this video. I watched in its entirety & learned so much about some of the packaged items I was afraid to buy & try. I knew what the item was but didn’t t know the exact flavoring. This video is perfect & I’ve even used it as a reference for my Asian market in the States. Thx 😊👍🏾🙌🏾
I'm glad you got to see this one, too! The great thing about lots of the sushi and bento is when they get marked down as much as 50% in the evenings when they're just trying to sell it all as fast as possible. That's when the magic happens and you can walk out the store with a $15 sushi set for $7. GASM!
I love that they've packaged items such as veggies and meat in smaller portions. It would be much easier to live as a single person there and buy what you need without waste.
OK I'm glad. I saw other people had supermarket tour videos only 10 to 20 minutes long, and I was thinking to myself "How is that a tour???" they must have clipped out so much stuff. Thanks for watching!
A little reference u.s. grapes are usually average price at $2 a pound. We've been seeing some specialty grapes like cotton candy at $5 a pound and up. Freshness is sometimes a question.
Thanks so much for taking the time to film this for everyone! The camera you have is fantastic and I love the way that you get close to all the items so we can all see it so clearly. Thank you for explaining things out to us too! I really enjoyed watching this and look forward to more :)
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed so many aspects to the video. Stay tuned for more! And make sure to check out the Japanese Store Tour playlist for other videos I've already filmed. ^^
I would absolutely go nuts in a store like that. I love Japanese food. I love all the variety you have, so many choices. I love Sushi, and sashimi; ramen bowls and udon ones too, rice bowls, and katsudon. Simply amazing! I so appreciate it. I think I'm living in the wrong country, lol. Great video. Thanks!
Sounds like a great idea! Did you see my latest video (Don Quijote tour)??? It is 1-hour long also. If ya haven't subscribed, please do so because I'll keep uploading store tour videos for ya. ^^
I live in Southeast US and we eat all kinds of pickles and relishes with beans and greens and cornbread. I live in Tennessee and we can’t find fresh or frozen squid or octopus, only breaded squid. Maybe in the international market. I’ve learned to make dashi and katsudon and omelet rice on You Tube. I love noodles.
How wonderful! I so enjoyed this video, I lost my job and been living off of scraps that I had stored all of what you showed looked so good. I was impressed with how clean the store was! Great video!
Loved the tour, i wished that you spend a bit more time at the mushrooms, but its so sad to see all those vegetables wraped in plastic. We, here in Hungary eat a lot of pickled vegetables with our main meals, I love them so much, I even eat it as a snack sometimes.
Great Video. Looking forward to seeing more of daily japanese life. I'm from Canada and found the prices very reasonable. I was under the impression it was much more expensive than Canada.
I feel like strolling at Mammi Mart.. i miss Japan! Thank you for uploading this video.. My sister lives in Nedo, Kashiwa, we always stroll around the area and she's near Mammi Mart..
Nice video! I watched it while preparing dinner Japanese style! Most enjoyable! Nice to see what’s available in this supermarket. They really have everything!
hehehe Thanks for watching! I've been a bit busy recently so I'm sorry I don't have more "Store Tour" videos uploaded yet. There are 2 more after this one, so far, in my playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLzd_i7csEemZXwCZ4ga0-dDUUw1B52L4S
Never apologise for anything like this😊We know how much work it takes to make these videos and plus the recent situation doesn't help.So just keep up the good work 👏 👌 Can't stop watching your videos and think...one day I'll be there too😁
I lived in Tokyo in late 90's. Back then there weren't many ultraprocessed foods in the supermarket. I am absolutely shocked by the crap being sold now and the sizes sold have gotten bigger.
In eastern Europe it's very common to have side dishes such as pickled fruits (peaches, pears, cherries...) for sweet taste or pickles, peppers, chillies for some kick :D you can buy them or my grandma used to make her own as the food spoils much slower and it's very tasty to have with anything. Every family has it's own preferences what pickled food goes with what food.
I just joined today . I enjoyed. How ever when you were picking up items and saying what they were good for you should have explained the dishes I was lost
Thanks for subbing! Oh, sorry, I think explaining all the dishes for each item I picked up would take too much time. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, though! Cheers!
Well in my country we place pickled cucumbers in our food specifically in our bread covered meat patty. We also have a really extraordinary restaurant here where I live you’ll find it if you follow the yellow covered squiggles.
That was awesome! I'm so surprised at how much English writing there is in the store, such as Quality Meat, Our Meat Selection, etc. There must be a large non-Japanese population there? Or is that usual all around Japan?
It's common to see English everywhere. American and British merchants opened up the country from their 200+ year Isolationist Period back in 1856 or so, when U.S. Naval ships first entered Tokyo Bay. From that time on, Japan began to westernize and modernize. And especially after Japan's surrender in WWII, American military basically took control of the country for a while. During this time, many big changes happened with policy, and English language was taught more and more in schools. The influence of American culture, the tech boom in the 80s and 90s, plus the internet, have made English the main language outside of Japanese seen everywhere. But it doesn't mean everyone knows how to read, write, or speak English. I hope this super brief explanation helps! Cheers for watching!
Yep, after I said Biotic, I was thinking something was weird... then I remembered later it was Probiotic. lol I haven't said the word in years so I forgot.
Canadians are obsessed with pickles of all kinds, they will throw them on anything especially during summer BBQs, Thanks giving, Christmas and Easter. Actually, we eat pickles of all varieties every day. Half the pickles we eat, we make from scratch and can ourselves. Pickles go with half the food we eat. One thing I noticed is you have a small meger selection of beef cuts and you pay way more for it than fish. In Canada beef is plentiful, high quality and cheap compared to fish.
Hi! I’m from Turkey 🇹🇷 11:31 We eat pickled vegetables (just mini gherkins or mixed pickles that contains cabbage, carrots, sometimes even tomato included inside.) We eat them as a side, generally with baked beans or chickpeas( Turkish style) And with plain yoghurt, like 99%. Every meal except breakfast lol. My English is not very good but i hope i can explain myself correctly.
this is so interesting & not once during the whole over an hour video did I think "Hey, this is to ridiculously long" LOL !!!! I'm looking forward to seeing future videos 👍 OK, now for the question "what was the weirdest thing I saw in your video?" Well - at 40:00 you are holding this package with clear round balls with some seasoning packages. Can you please share more on what exactly those are, how their made & how you eat them. Thank You!! Also Great Job on Your Videos!! 👍
I thought it odd the big signs on the walls are in English. Actually the prices are not that high compared to the US. The Fish section is incredible. You should have shown The KitKat section.
Wow this is so interesting these supermarket sushi look so big and good! In the Netherlands supermarket sushi is terrible and these from Japan look bigger than from some restaurants over here 😂 I love supermarket videos keep them going 🥰
T.T miss Japan so so much!!! Love and miss the fresh Fruits、snack and foods... Wish the COVID-19 pandemic pass very soon. Pray for the world!!! Can only get some snack from local Japanese store or thru Japan proxy now days~
Awwww yeah, I hope we can return to a normal life where travel is back to normal. I hope you can still enjoy some foods from online ordering. Thanks for watching!
I am from Brazil and we don't usually have pickled stuff, we don't like pickles, actually most people here hates pickles (me included). Also the size of the broccoli you complained about is the regular size of broccoli we have here in Brazil as well.
I love it !!! I was stationed at Yokosuka Naval Base the last time I was in Japon. USS America CVA 66 V-1 DIV....1968-1970...VIET-NAM ERA...TONKIN GULF...
No te preocupes que el video sea largo, mientras sea entretenido mucho mejor ( Don't worry that the video is long, as long as it is entertaining much better).
I came here by chance and enjoyed the tour thoroughly as a vist to the local supermarket is my go to place in any city. All said, the usage of plastic in that supermarket seemed way more than necessary
In Afghanistan pickels are called achar and are enjoyed with meals as a side dish. I think the fermenting pricess makes it good for the bio culture in the belly
nuts and jerky meat is also very expensive in the US. We just have one flavor kit kat. chocolate. WOW. Your pickle section is sad. I worked at a super target in minnesota in the condiment section and there were at least 100 different types and brands of pickles and olives. So much plastic. it is a good video. i would like more explaination as to what the foods are made of.
I'm from the UK and we don't usually have pickled foods other than red cabbage and onions i like them both with a hearty cottage pie to some that would not be a normal combination
In the UK we tend to eat pickled onions or beetroot with a meal, but it's mostly as an accompaniment to other veggies. So often roasted chicken with salad and then the beetroot and onion. Or with a sandwich. At least that's how my family eats it, but that stuff is dying out now as it isn't particularly to the younger generations tastes. Also you should definitely try the burgers and stuff I'd be super interested to see if they are any good especially for how cheap some of those were. Also I wish we had baby beers here! I'm intolerant to alcohol (It's always made me flush and made my neck and cheeks blotchy) because of either my disability or the medication I am on for the disability so that now if I have any alcohol I pass out very soon after drinking it and get really sick. But I do enjoy a little beer or mixed drink, but due to the alcohol content a whole can or bottle of beer or a mixed drink I can't have at all and I do miss it with some fried foods or going out with friends. I'd also like to see you try a bunch of the non dairy ice pop/ice cream type things too as I am also very lactose intolerant 😂 and I always see such nice dairy free options even at my own asian supermarket I often pick up something like this one time I picked up a fruit stick thing like the sugar glazed fruit but this one was supposed to be like an ice pole version. Was really good and SO big me and my boyfriend shared it because I could not manage.
I noticed that it took 15 minutes into the hour before you bought the first item. [smile] How long does it usually take you to do your grocery-shopping?
hehehe Please keep in mind this is just a tour video. It's not an actual shopping video about what I buy when I go to the supermarket. I just happened to see a few items along the way and decided to pick them up. And this type of small shopping is common for Japanese people. People buy just a few things they need for their next meal or two, or just some essentials. Then they visit the supermarket 2 or 3 times per week. Some people visit daily. Just depends on the person and their needs. Thanks for watching!
What you saw in the video is the standard shopping cart style and size. The only place to see a big Western-style one is at Costco. Thanks for watching!
Pickled vegetables aren't very common in germany except for pickled cucumber - especially "Spreewaldgurken" from east germany. Uh and the fish is really cheap in japan! Here in germany food is cheap - especially meat. But fish is very expensive and in most supermarkets its hard to find fresh fish - sadly! I really love fish.
Oh, nice. I'll have to try and find that one day. What about sauerkraut? That is kind of pickled, right? I'm sorry to hear fresh fish is hard to get there. I'd kill for cheap meat, especially beef. Beef is pricey here. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
@KitsuneHB @@CoryMay81 I agree pickled veggies aren't very common here in Germany. I think every country or culture has some pickled veggies because they can be stored forever, but it's not an everyday thing here. I guess the most common and popular are pickled cucumbers (my favorites are Cornichons, especially the one's with Chili), sauerkraut, red cabbage (or blue cabbage as we call it in the south) and asparagus (or white gold :D). Gotta say i don't really miss the fish though, i mean there are barely any, you can only find them in big supermarkets, but that's because a lot of people here, me and my extended family included, don't eat fish. It's like a once or twice a year thing.
Yeah, the nostalgic candy section exists in almost every supermarket I've been to. I might have to make a complete video just showing and trying the nostalgic candies and snacks. ^^ Thanks for watching!
It's going to be raining on and off where I"m at in the US. I really want to ride my motorcycle, but I don't really want to get wet. I'm just going stay home, and take a nap. I've already ate breakfast, and I'm freaking drowsy.
