      Really like Japanese supermarkets (and even the ones you get in the basements of department stores. Have had times when we, for a change, hit them up for snacks and pre-done food and have a picnic in the hotel room in the evening after a hectic day. I remember a really good one by one of the stations in Namba which had lots of salads and other things freshly made onsite.

      Hi Norm san
      My girlfriend and I are obsessed with supermarket as well.
      Love this vid so much.
      I just started youtube in English thanks to your inspiration.
      Thank you for a great content.

Not a lot of people would think a supermarket trip could be interesting, but I think this video just goes to show it is! Thank you kindly!

    Yay toilet paper run!! 😂
    I love walking around in Japanese supermarkets and try to find all the matcha related stuff I can.
    Tips is to come by later, like 20:00 in the evening, then you will most likely find discounted fresh stuff that the store want to get rid of so they don't have to throw them away. Time can differ from place to place.

    Hey, Sharla and Norm! I'm so jealous of you guys at having that KitKat apple pie. I used to have this obsession of trying as much of Japanese KitKats as I can. I actually got to about 20 flavors, at least 6 of it I sampled on my monthlong vacation in Japan. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no other flavor where I live other than matcha_ and as much as I love matcha, I've already tried it a dozen times. I was hoping to try the really weird ones, like soy sauce. At least I got to sample the _wasabi_ and _sake_ once. Anyway, nostalgia over. Love both your videos. Cheers!

    For some reason, this is my third time coming back to this video, and I'm always so overwhelmed when I think about how many goods you can come across at the grocery store... How much more when everything is in a different community/language/cultural context?
    I will say, though, that I did try those apple pie Kit Kats when I last visited, and it is probably my favorite flavor so far. Tastes exactly like an apple pie; it blows my mind.

We put it on bread when we were trying to finish what we had in the hotel. It's sweet.

    I love seeing what foreign supermarkets have.

    They have those types of registers in Tokyo too!

    Aomori is a great prefecture! I spent about 6 weeks in Hirosaki in 2017. The apples are next level - there must be some good Aomori cider (alcoholic) somewhere...
