love watching this kind of video as I also go back to Japan once a year. Never heard of the sekken before- I hope I can find one next time in Japan! Seijo Ishii usually got lots of great items for souvenir. Have you tried to go and shop at Kaldi? I also love shopping there. The sunglasses look very cool! Lots of interesting gift items! Thank you for sharing.
Really interesting to see what you want to bring back. Barrett! Another plus for you, I might imagine, is that you can get those items "Tax Free", saving another 7%. I searched for "Sekitan Cough Medicine" but couldn't find anything other than a retailer in Jakarta selling it. I have a hard time finding effective cough remedies that don't have weird side effects.
Thanks! We end up shopping online a lot though which makes it hard. Yeah we didn’t know about Sekitan either… we had to search for it online when someone asked us for it. I wonder if it’s good…
I just came back from one month in Japan, it was my second time,and I can’t stop looking for flight tickets to go to Japan again 😂 I regret not bringing more food
Thanks for your tips, very interesting! I need to look for that chili sauce and throat powder, will come in handy. Most of the time when I go to the store, I usually go by myself. Since I can't read Japanese, I usually walk by all that stuff without knowing what it is! The things I usually bring back to California when I visit my family are many types of Japanese snacks, awamori (okinawa alcohol) , and whiskey made in Okinawa. (they use rice). I recently tried Shouchu, It was very smooth and tasty.
Thanks for watching! haha I know what you mean, I used to spend such a long time at the supermarket or store trying to figure things out. Things like the throat powder, I wouldn’t have figured it out on my own to be honest. Japanese snacks are awesome. Whiskey from Okinawa made with rice? I had no idea, I’m curious now!

Thanks for watching! Yup, Kaldi has always been one of my go-to spots, lots of good stuff there! That’s great that you get to go back often :)

Yeah the nori is way better in japan. We usually bring back a ton of good nori.
Ah you notice it too! Good call!

What about baby product, are they cheaper in Japan?
I’m not sure actually, but I’d assume they generally are. Some clothes might be expensive. I’m not familiar with this category much though.
