- TOKYO, JAPAN - Shopping in Tokyo Japan is a unique experience. In this vlog, I went grocery shopping at a luxury grocery store in Japan called Queen's Isetan in Tokyo. Then I bought Japanese department store food and desserts from a depachika in Mitsukoshi Ginza which is a famous department store in Ginza Tokyo. I also went grocery shopping in Japan at another popular grocery store in Tokyo. #groceryshopping #tokyovlog #japanshopping #japantravel

I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture actor and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to work in Japan.
You put on a lot of the same comments EVERYWHERE.
When what you coveted weren't meant to be why not just move on and visit Japan as a humble, ordinary person?
Even the high-end food products are still cheaper than the States. Example: Croissant is $4-5 each. Beautiful products and cheap too. I a, looking forward to my trip in May.
Also, fine dining would be cheaper here and tipping is not customary.
that's too short of a video for the department store food court. you should get still images of each display cases. they are unique.
Keep up the wonderful work. Thanks for the english subs.
Thank you so much for the kind words. 💕🌺
Aloha friend! I'm a little late watching your video. Wow! Such beautiful food! Everything presented like it is art. I guess it is! So would you say that Ginza is like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills? The weather has been amazing here ~ finally! I hope you have a happy Mother's Day!
Thank you, friend! I'm so happy the weather's been nice for you. It has been raining here a lot lately - still. lol. Yes, it's similar to Rodeo Drive in terms of shopping. Hope you got to do a lot of gardening. 🌸
That package of tomatoes at the expensive store was a good price. They are 5.00 here for half that package great video
Wow, that's crazy! Thank you for sharing!
The fruits section in Korean supermarkets are somewhat superior. Are fruits hard to come by in Japan?
Fruits are abundant in Japan like in Korea. I would love to go to Korea and eat all of their yummy food. 💛 The first grocery store I featured in this video specializes in luxury fruits.
@@adoboramen I went to school in Japan and lived in Ebisu neighborhood while there. I shopped all the time at the local grocery store nearer my house and also at ATRE in Ebisu station.
My experience is that fruits are not abundant in Japan. There were instances like in December, there are only green grapes along with some bananas in the supermarket, and the juice bar in Ebisu station only have the orange colored fruit juice (with the rather chalky taste) and strawberry juice. In ATRE there's of course those squared watermelons, but they're not everyday fruits, I must say.
Maybe I'm not going to the right local market, who knows. But where I come from, fruits come aplenty and we have dragonfruits, apples, oranges, kiwis, melons, avocados, papayas, durian, all sorts of grapes, grapefruits, starfruit, alongside the "traditional" fare like salak, rambutan, srikaya, mangoes and bajillions others I don't even know the name myself, that I NEVER find while I was in Japan. All these fruits I can eat all year round in my home country. Growing up like this, I gotta say fruits in Japan are pretty scarce. Just my humble opinion. Hope no offense. Cheers 😁.
OH, let me add that for one type of fruits, we have several types. For example mangoes. We have about 15++ types of mangoes. Bananas also, there are several types that are used for fruits, the other for cooking/fried, etc. There are also types of fruits that are best served fried and taste salty, Mmm.
Edit: typos fixed.
Thank you so much for sharing. 🥭 You are so lucky to be surrounded with so much abundance. I have been daydreaming about going back to a tropical country just to buy kilos of rambutan and mangosteen and eating them. Nevermind doing the touristy stuff! lol.
I have fond memories of sitting in the bus as a kid and the prompt would say "Ebisu-eki-mae." It's so nostalgic. I have an upcoming video tomorrow with a few clips of Hiroo and Arisugawa Park, which you might enjoy. 😊 We grew up with the same type of tropical fruits so I totally understand your perspective. I can relate to you so much. I snacked on steamed bananas with shrimp paste with my grandma. 😊 By the way, what does salak taste like?
@@adoboramen I find the reason as of why fruits are so hard to come by and very expensive in Japan. This answer is by Johnny. Smith who lives in Japan, and I found it from Quora.
Why is fruits so expensive in Japan?
The real reason is that Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA or nokyo), a kind of a farmer union lobbying collective, holds a monopoly over the Japanese agricultural market. Their practices are highly inefficient, and hence why they’re so expensive.
There are some “explanations” on why they’re so expensive, like “Because they are very high quality” or “Because Japanese people are picky” etc. Those answers and “explanations” are obviously bogus.
Obviously, Japanese people would rather have cheaper fruits than more expensive fruits. The average minimum wage for Japan is around $10, while a single apple costs anywhere between $1-$3. Who the heck can afford them?
In fact, that’s exactly what happens. Cheaper fruits are sold out very quickly no matter what the quality, while more expensive fruits are rotting away on the shelves.
Almost no Japanese people complain that the quality of fruit is too low, while almost every Japanese will complain that fruits are too expensive.
Obviously, they’re not happy with the situation, but they’re unable to change it. Why? Because the lobbying collective holds a powerful voting power over the ruling party that has ruled for over 55+ years.
Even if the quality of the fruits were high, couldn’t they keep it high AND at a cheap cost? If there were plenty of competition, then sure. There ought to be more innovations to keep the farming practices cheap and efficient, and the quality of the fruits and vegetables high.
Aren’t the Japanese known for making cheap and durable products?
But there is no competition, since they hold a monopoly over it, and they accept no challengers.
That’s why fruits and vegetables in Japan are so expensive. All the other “explanations” are mere justifications on why they’re so expensive and inefficient.
@@adoboramen salak has a rather weird texture in your tounge and it's a very dry fruit. They taste sweet and acidic while being dry in your mouth 😊.
Its too bad about the farmers union in Japan making it so hard for regular Japanese people to otherwise be able to enjoy great variety of fruits. But I am nor Japanese so I won't judge or say bad things about the union. It's just sad, that's all. For something that's should be easily available for the masses, they had to make the beaurucracy difficult and winded and people gotta pay very high for things that's supposed to be able to be bought CHEAP and in abundance.
Edit: google search has written salak as tasting like this, please find because I'm not a very good writer and not smart enough to describe it 😅.
The complex tropical flavor of Snake fruit is often described as a blend of apple, pineapple, and banana. It has the sweetness of honey with an acidic finish, leaving a citrusy tingle on the tongue, and leaning more sweet or sour depending on the variety.
