Snacks to BUY at a Japanese supermarket Local's favorites! 17 savory and sweet products

I drink a lot of mugicha. It can be brewed in cold or boiling water (a bit of a stronger flavor in boiling). Amazon carries it if I run out, although the price is much higher.

this is amazing! thank You!

❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉

Remember we cannot bring things into the USA that have any meat products even in powder form. It would be nice if you could tell us if the items contain pork, beef or chicken vs seafood.

I love the Dango from the oshiruko, do you know if there is some dango sold separately?
I really enjoyed this video! Greetings from Brazil

Thank You. I am so curious about Japanese cuisine and snacks. Watching from Colorado USA 🇺🇸 ♥️

I usually add a little bit of meat, onion, or nasu, etc., to the ready-made curry and it’s delicious! But you need japanese rice to get the real thing lol!

Great video! I live in Japan but I love to learn what ingredients and items Japanese people buy and how they use them. It's also interesting to see how my tastes change over time. When I first came to Japan, I didn't like wakame or nori very much, and I was definitely not a fan of mugicha. But now I really enjoy them! An ice cold glass of mugicha in the summer is perfect. I also didn't like furikake the first time, but I guess it's time to give it another try. Thank you!

What brand? This video does not do anything for me😢

I will definitely look for the Mugicha.

78K views....I would be tempted to do all videos like this one, but who want's to do the same thing all the time🙂 Keep up the variety Sarah, I have been here since your NiziU debut reaction.

a friend of mine brought me spicy furikake. it was freaking delicious. i'm coming to japan in november and lightweight food souvenirs was exactly the info i was looking for. thank you!

Snacks!! Yes!!!! Watching that video after finishing this one

Great vdo

This was super helpful! But I'm struggling to get into cooking here because actually the ingredients are so different. Could you go into more depth about what to buy from a grocery store to be able to cook cheap, easy weekly meals in Japan? And also how to store and how long items last after opening is also confusing here. Most of the time it says "consume as soon as possible". But what does that mean? Do I have 1 or 2 days? 3 or 4 days?? Just a few hours?

Hi, put romanian language in automatic translate if you want to increase your Chanel! Arigato!🎉

So helpful❤❤

Are the foods halal? I really want to try them 😢

Hello! Thank you for the recommendation. If possible, next time, i hope you can add the prices of each item. 😊

Why Japanese buy prepared food

Such a cool video! If only I had found it before my last trip to Japan. ;)

Thanks so much! There is a little Japanese grocery store that opened in my New England town. I want to try things, but I don’t even really know what the possibilities are.

めっちゃ食べたくなっちゃった〜

Love this.

All my curry packs were confiscated by Japanese customs on the way home as they contained liquid which is banned by the airlines

フリカケはバター塗ったトーストにかけても美味しい😋

Great video ❤

What can i buy to make miso soup at home thanks

A lot of these are my regular purchases. I think my husband would like
amazake :) Looking forward to the video for snacks :D

Please do vegetarian friendly grocery products!

We're going to Tokyo and Shizuoka in December, so this is so helpful. These are great tips -- and Jack Cat loves your nails! 😎

Can you give us idea regarding air bnb god fir big family

Morning from the U.K and OMG it's amazing and interesting viewing, I wish we had some shops over here.I have always been interested in Japanese History and Culture, thank you for explaining everything ❤❤❤

Japanese supermarkets are a treasure trove! 🛒🍣 Don’t miss out on matcha treats 🍵, authentic soy sauce 🥢, and unique rice crackers 🍘. Stock up on instant ramen 🍜 for quick meals or pick up sushi-grade fish for homemade sushi night 🎣🍙. For souvenirs, grab adorable bento accessories 🍱 or beautifully packaged sweets 🎁. And if you love cooking, Japanese curry blocks 🍛 and miso paste are must-haves! 🧑‍🍳✨ Fyi.

I love ume paste and yuzu kosho so much that I have 500g packs in my fridge! I love shio koji for marinating food as well!

Thanks for the video! The yuzu kosho and moromi miso sound really good!
Is there anything from the UK that you miss/crave?
This falls outside the parameters of your video and isn't something most people would want to bring back, but I try to get the boss cafe concentrated coffee. I keep it in the fridge and find it convenient in the summer.

"This is a sea urchin." Reminds me of Filthy Frank.

Snacks!

thanks for the recommendation! i would like to know what steak sauce you recommend to buy?

I have a question, In America we have this kinda orangey sauce we get at hibachi restaurants called Yum Yum sauce or shrimp sauce depending on the restaurant and I was wondering if thats a thing in Japan or if thats an Americanized thing with Japanese food?

Love sea weed n matcha ❤🎉

Fantastic.

Love your enthusiasm and all the tips along with stories and suggestions of how/with what to use things. Thank you! ☺

i love your programme and i love japanese food, but japanese curry is terrible.

Interesting information of combing package with cucumbers. Thank you❤

Thank you. How about for fresh food products? Konnyaku etc? I will have a kitchenette in my accommodation while in Tokyo.

Thank you for the recommendations! Is there a supermarket chain in particular that you would recommend? 😃

Tea brewing time dipends on the type of tea leaves, the place its from, japanese green teas like sencha needs only 30 seconds to 1 minute, and you can Brew it a second or third time. Chinese green tea are fine with 1 to 2 minute. Some can go up to 3 minute. Black tea usually needs 3 to 5 minute.

Hey everyone! How is your weekend going so far?? 😊
As mentioned in the post-video small talk, I had to think about lightweight/not-too-bulky/long-lasting products whenever I was going back to the UK from Japan 😆 I actually brought a lot of these back to the UK when I was a student haha
Please make sure to check the regulations when entering your country though! Some countries don’t allow fish/meat products to be brought in, and in this case you won’t be able to take back some of the products I mentioned in the video 😢
