"out of your depth" ….while holding an Octopus tentacle. Octopus was thinking, "I wish they had been." 😢
Would love to try some of the fish, if someone prepared it for me. Nice grocery store! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Did you get in Trouble for fiming
You can go to Qingdao which used to be a colony of Germany. It still remains a lot of German architecture there.
Please see link for Qingdao city walk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs0xwGb9gtY
Price is very comparable to Canada if not it’s cheaper a bit👍👍👍
I am a Chinese who studied in Japan, and I think both of you in China have realized how much Chinese people love fruits and how active the fruit market is. But I have to admit that China's local breeding program is still catching up, and many popular fruit varieties such as grapes, oranges, and strawberries are either introduced from Japan, or Japanese varieties are used as parents in breeding.
At the same time, though, it's a shame that Japan is very good at growing good things and raising prices to the point where the average person simply can't afford them. It's a source of pride for Japanese fruit growers and a means of self-preservation, but it's really expensive!
Well, that's a first. Hearing someone talking about boners in a grocery store.😂
I'm always happy to find new YouTubers (at least for me) in my timeline showing what I love to see when I cannot sleep. Kind of takes my worries away you know. Calms me down. Thank you for this great and interesting tour my friend. It also never disappoints to see Japan. 👌
camm back to Serbia
That particular supermarket chain is owned by the same company as 7/11, which is why you see that brand of products. Also, 7/11 stores worldwide are owned by this same Japanese company (Seven & I Holdings)
so much plastic lol
The average salary in Japan is 45k cdn. Almost 20k less than Canada😮
That’s the New Zealand flag on the cheese not Australia btw 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Everything in Japan is over packaged and over priced. It’s good for saving money (shopping carefully) and diet (eating less) though😂
Lighting has effect on emotion.
Back in the late 19th century, they discovered that workplace with good lighting increase productivity.
Now if supermarket has bad lighting, it could effect the shoppers with bad mood. Bad mood mean less shopping.
16:20 "crunchy green stuff, might be spicy". Now that is a good description 😂

The American, who lives in a village in Zhejiang Province, China. Her videos are getting a lot of views. Hope you can come to the countryside of Zhejiang Province to explore. The village in this video is Sixi Village, Baizhang Town, Yuhang District, Hangzhou (杭州市余杭区百丈镇泗溪村).
Hey friend. Thank you for introducing me to Japanese supermarkets. Supermarkets in foreign countries are so interesting. When I went to overseas supermarkets, I saw so many interesting things.
Hey, Steve and Ivana, you guys considered all the prices without the tax (8% / 10%). Not a lot difference, but something to be aware next time. Cheers and thanks for spending few days here in Japan.
hey noticed a couple of things in your vid, the healthy drinks you highlighted were calpis a carbonated/fizzy yoghurt drink, the one next to it would probably be the non carbonated yoghurt drink, the prices that you quoted do not include the tax, which appears in smaller print under the price that you quoted. love japan, so, so organised, arigato xjas.
