@@eatyourkimchi This is very true and one of the many reasons why I always come back for more. Haha. Quick question, have you two figured out how to steal the recipe from COCO curry hq for those amazing pickled veggies they have? My fiance and I always finish off the container whenever we go.
Martina looks fabulous! I know she has psoriasis/eczema, so I imagine she keeps up with a regular skincare routine. She probably learned a lot of skincare tricks living in Korea. Also, BB cream supposedly works wonders. And spuffs! (sunscreen) Also, having EDS can make your skin look younger for longer; one of the few perks of this damn disease. I still get asked what year in high school I am all the time.
If you're visiting Japan and don't know what to get for your friends and family back home, head to a Japanese supermarket. You'll get all you'll need and more, and you won't have to reshuffle your luggage at the airport :D
Hi Simon and Martina! I used to work at Coco Curry in Hawaii and I have a peanut allergy. It wasn't until after two bowls of curry I realized I was having a mild allergy reaction to it and not a weird stomachache. I assume that's why Coco Curry tastes different, if not better, to other Japanese curries. I was wondering if you know if other Japanese curry restaurants or instant brands also include nuts in their recipe? Or if it's just Coco curry. Love your guy's videos, always puts a smile to my face :)
I'm helping out the lady that cleans my eyebrows at her shop and she's an absolute sweetheart and forced me to go and break and "enjoy UA-cam" so I put this video on thinking I'd be safe.... it was on full volume, she was listening and the client was watching along. They laughed (they love you 2 now) but if this was anyone else 😅
That’s what I did my first day in japan... it’s honestly not a bad way to start your day in japan lol. If you can I highly recommend going or getting McDonald’s delivered and order everything you can’t get in your country. You will not regret it, I promise.
“How dare you dad?!?! How dare you disturb my slumber. Did you forget? You are my servant” - Dr. Meemersworth And I completely agree with you Martina about the Furikake! Yumm ❤️
So normally I do a little trick to skip all the ads on videos. But not for Simon and Martinas. I watch those damn ads because I know it helps support my favorite couple and the videos they love to make and I love to watch. You guys are amazing
I always love the variety of your channel- everything from exotic trips to just simple, fun, informative videos like this. Above all, I love your love for life, and your willingness to always explore and try new things! Also, thank you Martina for your uplifting post on Facebook the other day. I've been dealing with some health issues for some time now, and you've really inspired and encouraged me to not give up and to build my own ladder. Thank you both for sharing your stories!
Gabriela Vega Which is simply Coke made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. In the USA, the price of sugar is artificially inflated, pushing companies to use the corn products. In other parts of the world this is not true. White sugar is SWEET, but not as sweet as HFC. A lot of people (including my family) prefer the less sweet versions. HFC is also very addictive and spikes blood sugar super high - it’s responsible for a certain amount of diabetic conditions and weight gain.
I went to Arizona for the first time during the winter, and had Mexican coke for the first time. I think mart of my affection for it is I love glass bottles, but that stuff was so good!
I feel a sense of justice from when Simon mentioned the difference between Mexican and regular coke. Thank you. 🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌💕 Also yes, supermarkets are the best.
I just got the message that I didn't make it to my college of choice. Was kinda bummed out.. but your videos really cheer me up! Thanks for uploading it on a day that I really needed it!❤
Honesty I love the souvenir culture!! I wished it existed around the globe. It’s such a beautiful cultural aspect. Yes, it can be a hassle but in my opinion it really shows you care about those around you.
Jaemin huh I never really thought about other cultures not giving souvenirs 🤔 It can be hard when you’re younger and you have a lot of family members but not a lot of money lol. And it kinda kills the vibe when someone just expects a present and doesn’t care about your trip. But I love finding something that reminds me of a specific person and then seeing their face when I give it to them!
I went out with someone from Japan for a few years, and there were two food commandments that still stick in my mind. 1. ALWAYS buy Kewpie mayonnaise. DO NOT buy any other kind - ever. 2. There is no such thing as too much Kewpie mayonnaise.
13:11 OMG PAHAHAHAA I'M SORRY BUT DID ANYONE SEE THE PURPLE SEARCH, IT SAYS *STOP TRYING TO PEEP MY SEARCH HISTORY* I'M DYING PAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA DAGNABIT I'VE BEEN CAUGHT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
The whole jelly thing. I was laughing so hard while simultaneously wishing it was a thing I did not know 😂 Thank you Simon for trying to share the local culture.
I love Japanese supermarkets. For non-edible gifts I like to go to 100 yen shops (e.g. Daiso) and just get a bunch of little cute things - anything from stationary, school supplies, stickers and decorations, to kitchen sponges, tissue packets, or even nail trimmers (they have cute ones!). Most 100 yen shops also have Made-in-Japan dishware that’s really impressive for the price. Dollar store gifts might seem boring or cheap in theory, but in my experience Japanese 100 yen products are pretty good quality and people really love those kinds of practical-yet-unique gifts.
TheRealSala That’s the downside to having millions of followers that know your favorites.....expect to receive it all the time in the mail. 😂 I’m thinking he got sick of it. Nearly every package they’ve opened for years has had a bottle, dry packs, or multiple of each. 🥴 😂
You two are truly unique when it comes to your content! I have never seen a video like this with so much fun but so educational at the same time. Proud nasty over here!!
I have a mild obsession with lychee konyaku jelly. When I go grocery shopping and I find that it's in stock I usually get it as a treat for doing errands XD
I live in Texas and my local Asian store recently started selling kewpie mayo after I watched this video and I took it as a sign of divine intervention and bought the mayo 😂😂😂
Soo agree with the Jap mayo can buy them in Australia Woolworths so easily usually $7au for a big 700g mayo or $4-$5au for a small 200g mayo. My partner and I can go through 1 in less than a week hahaha we absolutely love it
My Mom says it tastes like all fashioned salad dressing more than mayonnaise. It also reminds her of Cool Whip mayo, which is not her fave, but she likes Kewpie more. Asian markets often have it. :)
So for people in North America (specifically those located in the Midwest): if you want to try the stuff that they mentioned in this video, go to Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield Ohio. I went yesterday and found most of everything in this video and some other yummy things that they have showcased in other videos. The only thing I couldn’t find was that specific candy and the Chinese cucumbers. I just made tuna with kewpi mayo and Simon was not lying, it was tasty. Not only that but they have sections for many many other countries.
Your video is there just in time. I’m having a really bad week because of my anxiety and watching your adventures help me a lot. Thank you for making our day better. ❤️
I always went to supermarket when travelling. Each country has their own taste in their supermarket. I always find best gifts to give to friend after travelling in supermarket. It's just awesome!
Bryton Jenkins It’s good to cut back on it though, it’s a common addiction, but not a healthy one. More advanced tastebuds begin to enjoy flavors instead of constantly looking for that flavor over-punch.
I'm Belgian, we're pretty obsessed with mayonnaise. Kewpie mayonnaise truly is delicious 😊 The only brand I've had that I love even more is Devos Lemmens.
My mom is a chef so we always check out all the grocery stores. It's so interesting to see what stores stock in different parts of the country, and even town to town!
I have the Pokemon furikake! 😂That's hilarious! My favorite is the salmon. But the vegetable ones pretty decent too. I would have to say a lot of these things are great gifts especially for somebody that cooks. Daishi teabags are awesome, because they're such a time and space saver.
Hello Simon and Martina, I've been a subscriber for more than 5 years already, and I'm always Happy to see a New Video pop up on my UA-cam notifications so I can see what you bring to us :3 However, I loved mostly the TL;DR Segments where you provide information about Social and Legal norms in Korea back then, It gave me an insight to how Korean culture and society is, and I was even more excited about the new Segments from Japan's Social and Legal phenomenons, I saw a couple of them already but they were more about Daily life rather than Controversies and interesting topics. I would do some research online but you guys make it so interesting and delightful to watch, the closest thing to such a TL;DR that I've seen from your time in Japan was the video on how to get a house in Japan, specifically the Rent and Regulations to it, not to mention Tattoos in Japan. Anyways, I know you guys read your comments so I hope you guys consider this point of view and make a new video about the Japanese society :) P.S: I LOVE YOUR FOOD VIDEOS, and I'm over here waiting IMPATIENTLY to see your new bundle of Doggy Joy that will grace this channel, LOVE YOU GUYS
I live in the usa, I work near a Japanese grocery store. I switched to using that Japanese mayonnaise brand about two years ago. It is so much better then the stuff made here.
Traveling around supermarkets is totally NOT weird! I love doing that is every country I visit! Best way to get a feel of everyday life in that country. Supermarket or outdoor markets are great!
Love going to supermarkets when I travel abroad. Gives a sense of what it's like living there and I like to see how packages are different. I usually hit the drinks, chips, snacks, candies, and gum.
We have the kewpie mayo here in Australia It is the best! Hehe All of the suggestions are so good! Thank you I have often thought when I go what to get for people This has given me a lot of ideas 😊❤
Hands up - I am a supermarket freek and proud ; - ) Best things include the variety of produce, local language packaging and trying new products, especially when not knowing what to expect - surprise! Love you guys. Hello from sunny London x
Every time I wander through a new city, I find a reason to visit any grocery provider. I am enthralled by what a new food the place can bring me. Gets my hunter-gather instincts all in a frenzy. Must hoard new foods.
"Once you mix the cockade..." From the Creators of Terrible UA-cam Autocaptions Comes: Cockade, a delightfully refreshing beverage! Cockade, now available in Diet Cockade and limited edition Cucumber Cockade, pick yours up today! (Furikake. But nice try.)
En Igmah Actually I got it from the friend I talked about in the video who eats the package, Ryan, he’s an artist! HauserHands is his art name. He gave me that sushi shirt everyone loves and also this huge scarf. I wasn’t sure what to do with it so I googled it and was able to make this colourful head wrap. We’ve known him since we all lived in Korea together! We were all team Korean indie music.
OH MY GOSH!!!! When Simon said he finally had the pickle recipe (despite having read the title of the video) I flailed my arms in excitement and surprise and almost tossed my phone across the room by accident. I had to pause the video to recover from my excitement and write this comment. Thank you for being our wonderful family across the sea 🌊 love from 🇨🇦
Supermarkets? Absolutely- even traveling to other regions within the US and seeing really different products is fun. I send pictures to our kids of the unusual things I see while shopping.
I live in south Texas and I am lucky to be able to have access to quite alot of Japanese candy options! Love y'alls videos!! Can't wait for the next one! ❤
I'm visiting Japan right now with my husband and this is the best!! Can't wait to get some of these to bring back home. We've been watching you guys for years now and now that we're in Japan we always wonder if we will randomly run into you guys, lol!
When my partner and I go traveling we love heading to supermarkets and farmers markets! Looking at local produce, different brands and odd products, as well as comparing prices is part of the tourist experience!!
If I'm thinking of the same candy, then the first ones are called Puchao. They have them(or something very similar)at Daiso here and they market them as Puchao 👌 They are delicious!
oh my good gravy you two make me laugh I just love your videos !! I will tell you something sometimes when my soul is so sad I watch your videos twice & they always bring happines within me. Thank you so much for the both of you & just being you ! Have a lovely week ( Judy )
AHHHHH NEW VIDEO!!!!! MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE WEEK!!!!!! Your content always makes me feel so much better and REALLY helps me cope with my mental illnesses... You guys have really inspired me to take traveling into my own hands and REALLY enjoy vacations in foreign countries! I'm actually leaving to Iceland from Canada later today :> I'm planning on possibly vlogging a bit and at least photographing everything/travel journaling ALSO I LOVE PUCCHO SO MUCH!!!!!!!! They come in bars like Hichew do! Sometimes they collaborate with different companies/cartoons and the bars come with a little charm, I find them at my local asian supermarkets (Korean ones) THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING A LONG COMMENT BUT HI IVE BEEN WATCHING SINCE THE KOREA DAYS AND AHXJXKDKDKCKFKFKCKFMFNNFKCKFJFCN SPECIAL TIME KONYAKU CONDOM TIME
I also love going to other countries grocery stores! It gives me an idea of how local's live/eat. I've always had that curiosity, but I think it's been amplified because I've worked at a grocery store for 6 years. I'm still interested for the sociology? of if, but now the business aspect as well. Seeing how they merchandise, the products that are being sold, the layout of the store.
You guys are just the BEST!!! I absolutely adore watching y'all! No matter where you are or what you're doing, your videos are ALWAYS amazing! You could literally make a video about dryer lint and I would watch it! That's how super cool you guys are! 😊❤️
NO ONE ELSE EVER UNDERSTANDS THE GRAPE THING I had grape flavor grapes for the first time in Korea XD I always thought grape flavor was nothing like real grapes.
Thumbs up on your recommendations! You listed many of my favs although you missed Cheeza snack crackers (!). Also, a tip, from another daily cyclist who grocery shops for a family of 5: consider buying a Burley Travoy trailer. Amazing design and they fold up into a very small package. (Get the rain cover add on because... monsoons). The trailer goes into the grocery store with you and can be used as a hand cart, not just a bike trailer. I can haul cases of beer, garden mulch, tp or paper towels AND my groceries, even though this is a very narrow trailer that tracks easily without creating a problem on the bike path.
Yes I love going to supermarkets, especially when I travel. It kinda gives a sneak peek of the food culture of that country/area. Also kinda feels like a treasure hunt searching for the good local stuff!
I confirm. The jelly thing is true people !
Upvote this comment. The world needs to know !
oh God XD tho I am a bit curious what it would feel like
*dying of laughter*
Hahahahahahahahahahhaha

Thanks for the tips! I'm going there in less than a month!

My plan for my first day in Japan:
1. Convenient store
2. Grocery store
3. Bing Eat
4. Regret nothing
for me coco curry first and the sleep... supermarket ... binge eating again x3 xD
That’s what I did my first day in japan... it’s honestly not a bad way to start your day in japan lol.
If you can I highly recommend going or getting McDonald’s delivered and order everything you can’t get in your country. You will not regret it, I promise.
Gurl you have to try the egg sandwiches (so soft!!!) and eat the cup noodles right there in the store. The warm fried chicken too...
@@starsaint yes yes YES!!!😆 plus those cutlet sandwiches ( KUTOSANDO!!) and some yakisoba ( which is my favorite ) 🤤
Eat at coco curries too hehe
Finally the Japanese cucumber recipe! I've been waiting for this!!

This video was brilliant haha I want dem jellies! 😏
You would, wouldn’t you! 🥴
Food is thoroughly infused with culture, so souvenir food really is the perfect choice. Thanks for the tips!
I HATE American mayo....BUT JAPANESE MAYO IS GOD!! Okay...that is all
EyeHeartThePanda Amen!
Sadly, Japanese mayo has too much sugar in it, for me... Maybe I should try making my own with a non-nutritive sweetener. #ForScience
How would you describe the difference?
Ada ada I have both and I honestly can’t tell the difference I use the Japanese mayo just because it’s easier to control.
@@Ada-me6ge Japanese mayo is sweeter, richer, and has a thicker texture.
I live in Texas and my local Asian store recently started selling kewpie mayo after I watched this video and I took it as a sign of divine intervention and bought the mayo 😂😂😂
quality. content.
The scene of Martina having candy rain on her then realising the reality of it, them candies will scratch - it's too adorable xD
Soo agree with the Jap mayo can buy them in Australia Woolworths so easily usually $7au for a big 700g mayo or $4-$5au for a small 200g mayo. My partner and I can go through 1 in less than a week hahaha we absolutely love it
If you have an Asian grocer near you, sometimes they have 1kg bottles for $10! Same with Furikake and various packs of Curry Roux.
yeah boi!!!!!!! woolies for the small bottles, Spud Shed (in WA) for the biiiiig assssssssss bottles
My Mom says it tastes like all fashioned salad dressing more than mayonnaise. It also reminds her of Cool Whip mayo, which is not her fave, but she likes Kewpie more. Asian markets often have it. :)

This has given me a lot of ideas 😊❤
Simon: *Rubs “curry toothpaste” on gums*
Martina: Ewwww
Simon: *instant regret*
It's been a while since King Fat Fat Taco Head made an appearance. Good day, Your Highness. 👑 Please drink some water 💧💧💧💧
Hands up - I am a supermarket freek and proud ; - ) Best things include the variety of produce, local language packaging and trying new products, especially when not knowing what to expect - surprise! Love you guys. Hello from sunny London x
Every time I wander through a new city, I find a reason to visit any grocery provider. I am enthralled by what a new food the place can bring me. Gets my hunter-gather instincts all in a frenzy. Must hoard new foods.
"Once you mix the cockade..."
From the Creators of Terrible UA-cam Autocaptions Comes: Cockade, a delightfully refreshing beverage! Cockade, now available in Diet Cockade and limited edition Cucumber Cockade, pick yours up today!
(Furikake. But nice try.)
Martina, you look stunning in that coral pink.
And Simon, your workouts are really paying off.
I'm so glad you brought up Kewpie mayo, literally SO GOOD.
Every time I'm in another country---"to the supermarket we go!"---. It's a great way to get an overview and familiarize with the local foods! :)
Would love a part 2 to this video. Seeing you guys geek out like this is the best!
Martinaaaa where'd you get that gorgeously beautiful looking head wrap from I love the colors 😍😍😍😍
En Igmah Actually I got it from the friend I talked about in the video who eats the package, Ryan, he’s an artist! HauserHands is his art name.
He gave me that sushi shirt everyone loves and also this huge scarf. I wasn’t sure what to do with it so I googled it and was able to make this colourful head wrap. We’ve known him since we all lived in Korea together! We were all team Korean indie music.

That cucumber recipe looks so good wth! Wish I could get my hands on that! 💖
Yes!! I'm going to Japan next week and this video is exactly what I needed!
Helen K My husband and I will be there next Saturday for two weeks! Our first time!
OH MY GOSH!!!! When Simon said he finally had the pickle recipe (despite having read the title of the video) I flailed my arms in excitement and surprise and almost tossed my phone across the room by accident. I had to pause the video to recover from my excitement and write this comment. Thank you for being our wonderful family across the sea 🌊 love from 🇨🇦
Supermarkets? Absolutely- even traveling to other regions within the US and seeing really different products is fun. I send pictures to our kids of the unusual things I see while shopping.
I live in south Texas and I am lucky to be able to have access to quite alot of Japanese candy options! Love y'alls videos!! Can't wait for the next one! ❤
Kerry Sue Same! We have a cute little Japanese grocery in SA called Minnano - they have a good selection of candies and snacks.
Wow!! We go to World Market and and Central Market! I will have to try that place too! Thanks!
Today is my birthday so I made a special trip! Loved it in there, thanks again!
Nice! Happy Birthday!
Simon? Not like ranch!?
Should have known with the facial hair that the true Simon got replaced by his evil twin; Nomis!
I'm willing to bet that Simon and his evil twin Nomis are both Slytherin. I remember the egg. You remember the egg. He's a Slytherin.
*jelly scene
Simon: Any questions?
Me: Yeah, wtf
I'm visiting Japan right now with my husband and this is the best!! Can't wait to get some of these to bring back home. We've been watching you guys for years now and now that we're in Japan we always wonder if we will randomly run into you guys, lol!
When my partner and I go traveling we love heading to supermarkets and farmers markets! Looking at local produce, different brands and odd products, as well as comparing prices is part of the tourist experience!!
If I'm thinking of the same candy, then the first ones are called Puchao. They have them(or something very similar)at Daiso here and they market them as Puchao 👌 They are delicious!
I love you guys. You put me into the best mood with your humor. Thank you for the laughs 😂😂😂 and great recommendations.
OMG Martina! Your gray hair with the pink beanie is so delightful 😍 🌸🎀
普段食べてるお菓子がこんなに面白く食レポできるのか…！
oh my good gravy you two make me laugh I just love your videos !! I will tell you something sometimes when my soul is so sad I watch your videos twice & they always bring happines within me. Thank you so much for the both of you & just being you ! Have a lovely week ( Judy )
AHHHHH NEW VIDEO!!!!! MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE WEEK!!!!!! Your content always makes me feel so much better and REALLY helps me cope with my mental illnesses...
You guys have really inspired me to take traveling into my own hands and REALLY enjoy vacations in foreign countries! I'm actually leaving to Iceland from Canada later today :> I'm planning on possibly vlogging a bit and at least photographing everything/travel journaling
ALSO I LOVE PUCCHO SO MUCH!!!!!!!! They come in bars like Hichew do! Sometimes they collaborate with different companies/cartoons and the bars come with a little charm, I find them at my local asian supermarkets (Korean ones)
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING A LONG COMMENT BUT HI IVE BEEN WATCHING SINCE THE KOREA DAYS AND AHXJXKDKDKCKFKFKCKFMFNNFKCKFJFCN SPECIAL TIME KONYAKU CONDOM TIME
Now konnyaku will become super popular across the world. 😂
I've loved konnyaku for my whole life. I'm glad Simon has been converted XD
Specially with that slogan 😂 For special a special time make it konnyaku time. 😂😂😂
Video music on point, as always. I would seriously listen to your music if you decided to produce a spotify playlist.
I also love going to other countries grocery stores! It gives me an idea of how local's live/eat. I've always had that curiosity, but I think it's been amplified because I've worked at a grocery store for 6 years. I'm still interested for the sociology? of if, but now the business aspect as well. Seeing how they merchandise, the products that are being sold, the layout of the store.
You guys are just the BEST!!! I absolutely adore watching y'all! No matter where you are or what you're doing, your videos are ALWAYS amazing! You could literally make a video about dryer lint and I would watch it! That's how super cool you guys are! 😊❤️
i LOVED that reference about the mexican coke
Kewpie mayo is the best. I'm so... grateful they sell it in the asian markets near my house.
NO ONE ELSE EVER UNDERSTANDS THE GRAPE THING
I had grape flavor grapes for the first time in Korea XD I always thought grape flavor was nothing like real grapes.
Thumbs up on your recommendations! You listed many of my favs although you missed Cheeza snack crackers (!). Also, a tip, from another daily cyclist who grocery shops for a family of 5: consider buying a Burley Travoy trailer. Amazing design and they fold up into a very small package. (Get the rain cover add on because... monsoons). The trailer goes into the grocery store with you and can be used as a hand cart, not just a bike trailer. I can haul cases of beer, garden mulch, tp or paper towels AND my groceries, even though this is a very narrow trailer that tracks easily without creating a problem on the bike path.
Yes I love going to supermarkets, especially when I travel. It kinda gives a sneak peek of the food culture of that country/area. Also kinda feels like a treasure hunt searching for the good local stuff!
