In this Costco Japan Tour we'll see the Japan Costco Food Court along with other Japanese Only products in the store. This is our normal Coscto Shopping trip. We'll show you our Japan Costco haul at the end of the video. It is fair to say that we haven't been to all the Costcos all around the world so maybe some of these products are available, but we wanted to share anyway to share with people what shopping in Japan Costco is like. Let us know if some of these Japan Coscto products are available in your part of the world. We hope you enjoy our Japan grocery shopping trip at Costco.

GOOD MORNING PAOLO AND EVERYONE ❤
big fan
Great video! I hope I can visit Japan soon :)
Lol, looks like Paolo's discovered that b-roll of Wolfy running around being cute is good click bait. 😆
Funny thing about Bokksu. I just got my Onsen box today and already finished it 👍
I wasn’t actually listening to Paolo, but looking at Wolfy dancing around, clapping hands, enjoying by himself. He is just a happy go lucky kid- he has a good soul 🫶🏼
Snap x
I was doing the same! Man, I wish I could go back to the days of being so carefree.
Do you know how video editing work?
Costco sells a standard line, but they also have items specific to the local area. Go to the Hawaii Costco, very unique items. I wish they would bring more Japanese items to the US, but I think that there may be a language/packaging problem.
Or that its just that not everyone likes japanese food
@@Rjean-paul that can't be.😂
@@darrylk808 it is
Costco in Canada is somewhat similar to US, except for seasonal fruits and vegetables.
@@Rjean-paul Japanese food is actually big business in the states lol don’t get it twisted
Wolfy is just so cute dancing around and having a blast!
Wolfy is absolutely adorable! Would you ever do a "Day In the Life" of a Japanese pharmacist? Or a behind the scenes of a Japanese pharmacy?
Thank you for another great video!
I freaking LOVE your Japan videos, Paolo. Thank you! My wife and I visited Japan (Tokyo/Kyoto/Fuji-San) on our 10th wedding anniversary, and.... seriously, I did NOT want to leave. It felt like it was my personal Disneyland. My wife could not get me out of Akihabara for 2 days straight! I even went back by myself for a third time! And the Ramen..... oh man.... and Tsukiji market's sashimi and sushi.... aaaaah, melts like butter in the mouth. I miss it so much!
I worked in an American Costco for 10 years and had always wanted to transfer to a Japanese Costco. For a retail/grocery store, Costco pays their employees well and give awesome benefits. They use to be one of the highest ranking, for their category, for taking care of their employees. That is why now I still like Costco, not only for quality of products, but for how they take care of their employees.
Our ‘international family circle’ here in (rural) Mie Prefecture regularly make a kind of pilgrimage to our nearest Costco. It takes a couple of hours but we carpool and make a day-adventure of it. Costco here is the perfect combination of Japan quality and American goodies that we usually kind find here. (Still have a couple of slices of pepperoni pizza in the freezer right now!) Never tried the poke though. Looks good!
I guess there’s not much to do in your area?
@@DoctorEbot well, it’s no Tokyo. But we actually have a lot of cool stuff to do in Mie. (Ise Jingu aside) we have a couple of decent amusement parks, nice beaches, and as of this November… Ghibli Park!!
(Not actually in Mie, but in Aichi, which is next to us.)
@@missplainjane3905 Well, it tastes very…American. (I’ve actually gotten to like Japanese-style pizza, but sometimes a change is nice.)
@@Jordan-inJapan Genuinely curious, what exactly is Japanese-style pizza? I visit my relatives for months at a time in Kansai and the pizza options are American/NYC-style or Italian/Neopolitan-style, no in between? Or maybe I just haven't seen enough lol. Can you recommend a Japanese-style pizza joint? Would love to try it out!
@@hirotanaka3296 Maybe he means the toppings. There are pizza places but the Japanese like to put mayo, corn, mentaiko and seaweed as toppings.
Just came from my local costco on Maui. We have poke but very limited.
Thanks for sharing what you have at your costco. Next time we’re in Japan we plan on visiting the cisco there.
I can't believe it☺️ , I just bought a House after I invested $ 5000 and I now make $ 31,500 every 14 days . It's been a life changing experience🤗
What's is the minimum to start trading with Mrs Angelia Marie Brown ?
@@wilbane1052 I advise you start trading with her with $2,000 OR $5,000
dude im so sorry about your reply section these bots are mad crazy
SMH 🤦♂️ UA-cam
The general category for all those cooking sauces and dressings is usually called condiments. Your son looks so cute dancing through the isles
The costco here in Honolulu, Hawaii is actually the busiest Costco in the world. It sometimes is in second place to one in South Korea, but most of the time it is in the #1 spot. And yes, they have poke there. But not always. Depends on the season and availability.
The reason you see the HI Costco on the top 10 list is due to time differences in reporting. If they delayed that report by 24 hours and just showed what each Costco made in the last 24 hours you would only see SEA stores on the list. In a 24 hour period they make quite a bit more.
Paolo, You are 100% correct that Hawaiian Costco' has a ton of seafood and lots of Poke in all of them!
The Filipino meats is from Siwin Foods which is a Canadian brand made in my city, Edmonton Alberta, good on them for their products reaching Japan!
I always love seeing what is available in Costco's in different countries. They have the strawberry shortcake in Canada too. We have the sesame dressing but it is a different brand. I swear the hot dog is like a staple at the Costco food court everywhere.
James (Jim) Sinegal, one of the original owners of Costco, was the one who instituted the hotdog and pop deal in the foodcourts at all Costco stores in the world, as he said that the low-priced food acts as a hook to get customers to come into the store in the first place. Once the customer was safely inside, they would be more inclined to buy other deals as well at that point. At one point around 1984/85-ish, one of the then, head bean-counters of Costco approached Jim Sinegal and noted to him that Costco was operating at a loss over the price of the Hotdog and Pop deal of $1.50, and that they should raise the price a few dollars to return them to profitability. Jim turned to the bean-counter and is quoted as having said to him, in a not so subtle, angry and threatening voice (for real; this is not a joke), "Touch my Dogs, and I will End You!!" The dogs and pop have remained at their current price selling point ever since. 😂😂
@@steadholderharrington9035 It wasn't a head Bean Counter lol. It was the current CEO Craig Jelenik. The quote is, If you raise the price on the hot dog I will fucking kill you. This used to be in our early training videos. (Bleedped out of course.)
@@ThePawn02 I was told it was an accountant by an apparently lesser informed Costco employee here, where I live (we've got eight(8) of these stores here if you can believe that! Why a city of just over 1 million people need 8 of these stores is beyond me!) As for the rest of it, call it creative editing for family friendly ears. I didn't know where it had originated from.
i have never had a hot dog from costco before bc i'm not a fan of them lol
lol I love hearing you and your wife talking with one another in this video. She gives pretty good insights on what's in Japan. That chicken nugget potato bucket would be my ultimate comfort food. Wish we got that here in the States. I feel like most people would love it.
Such a happy toddler, love him dancing/running down the aisles. I totally forgot you were talking 😂
Can we get an hour long video of Wolfy just running and dancing through varies aisles and super markets? 😂🤟🏼
I know!! He is just too cute!
You have such a beautiful family, Paolo! Love you, guys! ❤️🤗
You are so kind
costco will always be costco regardless wherever you are in the world
Hi Paulo. I can tell you pour your heart and soul into your productions! Love the "day in the life of" series. Some suggestions for future shows: conbini employee, rickshaw driver, nurse, golf course caddie, and maybe a special behind-the-scenes. Keep up the grade work and thanks for sharing your life in Japan with us. My wife and I love Japan and try to visit when we can. Can't wait until it (for "reals") opens back up!
I enjoyed this video. It was very interesting. Watching Wolfy running around was the best part😂🥰
I have some Kewpie Roasted Sesame Dressing in my fridge right now! also regular Kewpie mayo and Kewpie SMOKED Mayo (which is SO GOOOOOD -- eat it on a tomato sandwich)! I'd love to shop at a Japanese Costco someday.
I love that they have longganisa and tocino now. I usually boil them until the water evaporates. Then just let the oil from the longganisa finish the cooking for me. That way it's not too oily and you can get a good caramelization coating the sausage.
I live near a place called Jungle Jim's International Food Market. They have everything you've got there and eating raw fish is becoming more common. Almost every Kroger here has a seafood department where a Japanese company comes and makes fresh sushi.
I would love to see you both sitting on the couch and talking about the differences between Japan and the west. The chemistry between you two seems so cool!
3:49 bro hit the griddy
Hey Paolo, nice to see this video showcasing stuff that can be bought at Costco. I've always been curious about what things they have since I've never been to one.
My suggestion with the longganisa or tocino is to cook it in plain water, but make sure to use nonstick pan, until much of the water evaporates.
That way, the meat gets cooked in its own oil (like literal: igisa sa sariling mantika).
Also, the oil from the longganisa or tocino gets extracted out of their meat so it gets less fatty.
That's the way I cook both dishes here in Japan. Before, I used to let both swim in so much cooking oil, because I did't know how to cook it any other way.
You're little guy is so cute to watch running around enjoying the store. Fun video and thanks for posting another one.
Another awesome video! I go to the Costco in Kanazawa, Yokohama. It reminds me of home. Thank you for the inspiration Paolo! My videos are are inspired by you and your content.
I checked out your videos. I can see Paolo’s inspiration in your content. Good job!
@@waiakeadaze thanks! I really appreciate it. Keep supporting Paolo too👍
Wow!! Thank you so much for highlighting my comment! At only 386 subs I can use the help lol. Seriously though, thank you for the inspiration and the positive vibes. Aloha from Yokohama🤙
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all.
I love your videos, especially seeing other Costco's. Longanisa as well as Chorizo is a Hispanic condiment mainly used for breakfast but is used in other occasions too. Glad to see your happy and blessed.
I know this video was posted a year ago, but an update: we have Black Thunder at Costco in California now!!! 😍😍
Also, this video is absolutely precious with Wolfy walking around with such pep and joy 🥺💗
Wolfie dancing is such a mood! He's so cute!! The "cooking" section you were talking about with the sauces, we call it the Condiment section. We get like Ketchup, Salad dressing etc there.
I just had Costco pizza not that long ago over here in California with the family. What I love with the membership is not only getting buck items and the food court but also the gasoline price discount, especially with California higher fuel cost per gallon. I only go to their gas stations early in the morning or 30 minutes before they close since most of the day the lines here are very long.
Honestly I love the energy from this video. Very relaxing and informative. Thank you!
It's the sushi that's a deal at Costco Japan. In the US we don't have that, but we usually have maybe two Japanese scotch's and no beer. The instant noodle options for Japanese brands is also much better there, but we do have a few good Korean noodles in the US. Strawberry shortcake has been around forever in the US too. It's usually individual sponge cakes sold separately during strawberry season and you make it fresh with whipped cream as a single serving. At least that's how we used to make it.
Wolfy has got to be the cutest kid. He had more fun at Costco than at the playground, I think.
Thanks for sharing Japan's Costco.
You seemed so relaxed, like you were having fun with the family!!! Nice vibe! Keep up the great content!
"it's a little bit hot" as sweat POURS down paolo's face
I need that bulgogi bake in my life! Was totally over chicken bakes here in U.S. about a decade ago. Thanks for a great video!
Omg I have a son your age, and he just loves going to our local bjs (like another costco). He really has fun getting down to run and dance around the store. Too cute 😍
I think the word you were searching for to describe sauces and such is condiments. Strawberry shortcake is made differently in the US depending on the region. In the Northeast, biscuits are made, then strawberries in juice is poured over an opened biscuit with a plop of whipped cream on top. In the Southern part, it’s common to have spongecake and strawberries on top, and then a spoonful of whipped cream. Wolfy is adorable. 🚂
Thanks for this video. I was back home in Hawaii last month and visited the Costco. Yes, they sell poke and some sushi-grade fish there. I love how every Costco sells local products. We live too far away from the nearest Costco here in Japan, so we are not currently members.
Thank you for this video! Love it!
I am so happy I got on early enough to catch one of your videos right when you posted. Your videos are amazing, and watching them is just like entering a different world. And I love the ability to be able to escape for even a short fraction of time thank you so much for these videos
Glad you like them!
Thank you for sharing! I've never been to Costco, I'll go there someday😊
Cool! Costco in Nagoya is 2.5 km from my house. When we first moved to Nagoya we used to travel to Kobe just for Costco! That’s over 3 hours away. Now I can pop over to our local Costco just for a Hotdog for lunch!
I still love how informative this guy is I gotta get to Japan for a few weeks and go to all these places
Paolo, I am so happy to have found your unique and fun channel! Thank you sincerely!
Japanese people are hardworking ! ❣️
Can't wait to visit Costco Japan soon!
The little tour guide was very helpful.
Getting to watch Wolfy grow up is precious
i wanna see paolo's behind the scene of a day in a life of a Japanese
Maiko with black hair, so beautiful!
Wolfy is so cute! Such an adorable and easy going kid.
You guys are such fun to watch! ☺️
Love seeing Wolfy having fun.
I love this. Totally should have visited the Costco in Tokyo when I was there.
Very entertaining ... thanks!
Very nice video, Amazing shopping place (Costco),Thanks for sharing
These videos are definitely getting me ready for my move to Tokyo.
man i love your content paolo, all the love to you
Truly enjoyed your video - very insightful....👏👏👏👏
We buy those sweet longanisa every time we go to the nearest Costco Japan from where we live. They're surprisingly good! Have to check that sweet tocino as well next time.
Your kid's energy! Really nice!
I love ur blogs,i love Japan.just recently watched ur old blog saying ur a filam,so nice to hear that.from Philippines
Love your content man keep up the good work.
Tank you paolo its a good expérience with you bro
One of the staples that Costco sells in the US (I believe in Canada as well), are Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice frozen dinners by Ajinomoto. It's a chicken fried rice with vegetables (carrots, yellow carrots, peas, edamame, red pepper, corn) and the pieces of chicken are grilled. (So are the corn kernels.) They're quite good and work out to slightly over $2 a meal (six in a box).
I feel like condiments is the word you guys were looking for! Love the videos as always!
Here in Australia we don't actually have any of these items, but we have lots of similar things. It's interesting to see what they have at Costco in other countries
Hey Paolo I love your videos. I’m on my third month of getting Bokksu and I love it. Cheers my friend!
Cool to see we are close to seattle lynwood area. Love to shop and eat at costco.
In the states they don't have you buy the pharmacy stuff separately, however, in some parts of the country you will get your ID checked depending on the pharmacy item you buy (cough medicine usually triggers this in the checkout system). For alcohol, in some states you can only purchase it in the alcohol section, they have a separate cashier there for this purpose (and they will check ID, of course).
Always here supporting you Paolo!
It's always awesome seeing just how different Japanese Costcos are! It's almost like an entirely different establishment 🤩
We indeed do have strawberry shortcake at costco and loganisa!! :) The seagrapes I haven't seen ):its hard to find a place here in the US where you can buy raw salmon to eat, usually do take out or find a japanese specialty store
Amazing video !! I love these videos that features unique products that we don't have it here
It's a small world, my husband and I grew up in the Seattle area, now in the Midwest and enjoying your channels with our kids.
We just love these video's 👌
Grate work Paolo your videos makes me want to live in Japan in the future keep up the grate work
Wow. Your kid is a mini you. Bless him
Yes!!! I love Japan Costco 🤩
I appreciate your family videos so much!
3 or 4 years ago, the Costco I went to in Dallas sold poke. They got rid of that after a few months, as well as cutting down on food court items like the cheeseburger, chilli, salad, and acai bowls. Really hope they bring some of that stuff back one day, it was quite tasty.
Certified Gold!!!!!
My Costco (USA) has had a Kewpie Deep roasted seasame dressing. I love it.
Nice) I wanna try all seafood section😁 And all snacks, and that awesome cake)
Morning everyone 🤗 yass my fav on an saturday morning thank you paolo sir 😁
Now I have to put Costco on my to visit list when I next visit Tokyo!
LOVE IT! The Japan's Costco is out of this world! Wish we had all these goodies back in the states :/
Costco Japan is so cool!
Costco is all about the food sampling, croissant, and food court.
Hi from Seattle! Not sure about the Eastside stores, but Seattle SODO and Shoreline carry a ton of Asian products now. More every year! We have poke, sushi, and seaweed salad, Sapporo and Suntory, dashi "tea bags", Kewpie mayo, Bachan's Japanese sauces, kimchi and kimchi-jeon pancake mix, pork belly and cured pork, Indian curries, instant noodles from like 5 different countries, and many many more! Check it out next time you're back to visit, it was a big surprise for us just being gone a few years.
Sake and Sushi! Awesome!
I love your Costco!!! Aside from the Asian merchandise, your store looks cleaner and a lot less traffic 😍😊
Poke in the Hawaii Costco is pretty awesome. I’d be interested in trying the Japanese strawberry shortcake as I find the variety we have in North America a bit too sweet for my taste. As for food court items go I’d have to say my favourite was the BBQ pulled pork sandwiches in the US but unfortunately they were too time consuming to make so Costco stopped offering it.
Disagree. Had the poke in the Hawaii Costco and it was just as bad as the poke at the local Costco back home. Costco poke is pretty bad and surprisingly overpriced.
@@disciprine I mean, you're better off getting poke from a local place or Foodland than costco
i love this guy!!!!
Thank you for showing us Costco in Japan. Yes, you are correct.......such items you showcased are only available in Japan. I hope to visit Japan Costco one day!
