Recently found your content, and I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. I have always found the Japanese culture very beautiful ❤️. I am about to travel there to see my favorite sumo star Hoshoryu in person in the July Basho. I've been to many countries while I was in the military. But i recently retired and I have always wanted to see sumo live. While I am in Japan do you have any suggestions for me to do while I am there? The July Basho is in Aichi prefectural gymnasium in Nagoya. So any suggestions? Thanks again 🙏

Japanese Costco sushi is cheaper and higher quality than the best sushi restaurant in my province. The tray of curry pan is just magical. My baby loved them. And the huge trays of BLT wrap slices is an amazing deal. So many other unqiue Japanese items too.

@bigmikeobama5314 Месяц назад

@SC-mf1gc Месяц назад

@bigmikeobama5314 Im on an island province that was famous for having shoals so dense they stopped ships from sailing. Nobody would live here if not for the abundance of fish. There are countless other regions and nations you could apply the same reasoning to, but it doesn't coorelate to fish prices, or quality, or standards, or work ethic, or cleanliness.

I wouldn't say it's better, I'd say that Cosco smartly caters to their customers. It would be nice if they integrated foods from other countries. It would be fun to try new things!

I went there in January. It’s not better as you said the products are catered to the local population.

Yeah, that would be nice. They probably already do, though. Costco has limited space, so we can't expect to see too many limited time offerings.

There's not quite as big a difference as I thought there might be. Now if you want to talk big differences, other than the kind of food offered, Japanese/Korean/etc/ 7-11's are SO much better than US 7-11l's like, it's night and day.

@TheSmark666 26 дней назад

Depends on where you're located. They don't cater to the midwest locations. They more or less say this is what's available this month and you either will or won't buy it. They regularly take away things which sell out and add items which barely sell at all. I really only shop at Costco for their meat and frozen food departments. Sam's Club has anything else I'm looking for and I can almost always guarantee it will be available and won't be placed in a new location on the sales floor which is an asinine trick Costco loves to pull so you walk past newer items you have zero interest in buying whilst hunting for the tortilla chips that have been relocated for the 4th time in three months.

I have to say one thing that Japanese Costco is lacking in is the food court. There is normally not enough seating in Japanese Costco. In Kawasaki, there were only like 4 tables in the place! In one Osaka Costco, there were 6 tables inside, and the rest were outside. Everyone rallied for those coveted inside seats. 😢😭

Home saunas are available in the states, though they have to be special ordered because of home space. They have to be custom to each house.

Not really true, you can buy many "off the shelf" brands and have it shipped to your house, you assemble a few pieces and poof a sauna. From Barrels for outside your house to infra-reds you can stick where ever you have space and a proper GFI outlet.

Dear Japan, we in Wisconsin are concerned your block of Co-jack as we call Colby-Jack is lasting you months. You showed a Wisconsin person's daily ration of cheese, in that "brick" as you called it. Well Colby cheese is from Colby Wisconsin, down the road a bit from me. Walmart in USA sells wagyu ground beef, which seems to me a perfect waste of wagyu beef, but I think the same of the top prime rib ground hamburgers we sell too, like man why murder a good cut of beef. No costco's around me, never been in one, looks like a slightly fancier Sams Club.

@videopsych7838 20 дней назад

I used to go to costco a lot and i will say besides the food it looks pretty similar to ours here in the US. The reason i stopped going there is because unless you shop there enough per month paying the fee for their membership isn't worth it and after a while you're just eating the same junk over and over and if you aren't extremely careful about it a good portion of your food goes bad before you can eat it so i only maybe recommend going to costco for most maybe once every other year at best.

@AlanGoldwaser 25 дней назад

WE lost onions and relish due to the pandemic. Same with sauerkraut. In fact, we lost half the menu in the food court! They stopped the combo pizza because they could keep up with 2 different pizza types but not three. No more froyo but we do have soft serve ice cream and they just brought in chocolate! We used to have chocolate croissants from the bakery but no more.
