Appreciation for Simon's effort on calculating everything
Annnishere I love Martinas facial expressions while Simon is doing math. I relate.
@@jno805 Martina is me 😂
yay 600 like
Damn I was so heartbroken when he said he wasn't going to do maths anymore 😩
As I listen to Simons rant about tea... I take a long sip of my black tea ☕️ and sigh... “ poor man will never fully appreciate the teas “
I understand not liking fruity tea but damn what about a nice steaming hot cup of oolong or chamomile?
Tea- straight black or green tea, without adulteration- is wonderful. It’s better than coffee, better than booze, better than milk, better than anything I can think of.
I would drink tea more if it was easier to obtain like coffee. I prefer tea.
Do agree. Though some flavors make me feel like I agree with him ... >> like, a rich earl gray? yes pls. fruit medley? naah.
and thats the tea
HOW IS THE RICE SO EXPENSIVE AND THE SALMON SO CHEAP?!?! 😱
you can get Cheaper rice in Japan from Costco.
Because Japan has a lot of fish and there’s probably some sort of issue with rice companies
I remember reading an article saying that rice in Japan is very expensive because of their history. Back in the emperors' era, rice was only consumed by royalty so therefore it is considered as a high standard (if I should name it that way) ingredient in their cuisine. Like if you're able to afford rice (which I guess it also has to be of top notch quality) that means that you can be considered rich and respectable. Its a matter of honor almost.
Sofie Because most of the salmon are from Russia and other European Countries.
The Japanese rice are high quality.
The most delicious rice on earth.
I also heard that china has a rice shortage and japan has a potato shortage. Too bad they hate each other, cause they could save the world by trading.
(Plays dramatic music) ...for every ad you watch... (music).... you can help support Simon and Martina buy the good cheese....( music)
*never skips a video ever again*
funnily- at 6:51 when the text says "we gonna cut her off", right after that, an ad actually showed up and cut into the video xDDD
Letting a 3 minute add run = a good time to read comments too 😉👍
@@ResaChiic same 😁 lol. Well played guys, well played 👏
*in the arms of an angel plays in the background*
YES TL;DR IS BACK!!!!! This video has made my morning
What does TL;DR stand for? 😅
heartsdeprived too long: didnt read
+
It stands for "Too Long; Didn't Read," Simon and Martina's TL;DR videos are like little mini documentaries about different aspects of Korean and Japanese culture.
Ahhh the best series
when simon started going on about prices my brain instantly went into mii music mode
HI FIVVEEEEEE FROM MARTINA
How does Martina look so constantly flawless what magic is this
Its called a lil bit of makeup
The “Coffee snobs” shade montage. 😂😩👏🏻
The best part of waking up is hearing Martina rant about coffee, YAAAASSS.
"The best part of waaaaking up...is hearing Martina rant about coffeeeeeee"
Clara Lu right?! I love her! Haha I feel bad I have so many Tim Hortons near me...
I literally had to look at the upload date because the intro was very nostalgic
Kahlil Alcala ahaha same
Ikr!
me too!
"Food in japanese supermarkets is expensive"
Australia - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Same in Sweden too - looks very cheap... Even by the UK standards the supermarkets in Japan are not that bad.
Exactly ahah that’s me when I compare between my partner’s home country of Taiwan and Australia ahah
@@svartmetall48 sweden has one of the highest incomes per person tho (even it was the highest??).
@@sallyenki4440 Not really. Take a look at Eurostat and at net income levels. Sweden is fairly okay but only at the same level as the UK.
The emperor's new groove bit when you were talking over your coffee loving self was amazing.
I've missed this so much.
Simon, my dude! Coffee is just bean water. Bean water~
Minty Papaya 😂😂😂😂
and tea is just.. leaf water?
@@az-cv1ql exactly. They're brothers
THIS
Well tea is just hot leaf juice!
My take away from this video. is this: if I want to cut my food costs, eat local. In Japan eat Japanese rather than foreign. And Japanese will likely be better. And my own 3xperience is the same.
or get lots of foreign penpals to send you boxes of stuff in exchange for cool Japanese stuff ;)
Domestic produce is both heavily taxed and Japanese are willing to pay a lot more for it than foreign, so get foreign produce, used in Japanese dishes if you wan't to save cash. Also, pasta is a lot cheaper than rice. At Gyoumu supa, you can get 500g pasta for 100yen, 500 g frozen veggies for 189yen and 400g beef for about 400 yen
Japanese would be better in what sense?
in most countries, the local food is a lot better and cheaper. but i hear in japan, everything is really good! like, japanese make french and italian food better than the ones in the respective countries.
This is very untrue, Japan has a very big range from low to high quality foods, but they tend to cheap out on low and mid range restaurants, when it comes to Italian etc.
The Japanese are people just like us, a lot of people idolize them as gods on the internet, and truth be told, a lot of Japanese consider themselves superior and almost godlike compared to everyone else.
Produce is expensive in Japan, it's also heavily taxed, and the national pride makes people buy 2-3 times as expensive produce, just because it's Japanese. When you buy something Japanese, be it a dish or a basic staple product... you pay the base price, you pay extra tax, and you pay for the "wa".
Also keep in mind, that prices can vary a lot, without quality being relevant, I used to work at a company that used to cheapest and worst products, but sold them for 5x the normal Japanese pricing, just to cater to rich people, and some rich people truly believe that they have to buy extra expensive stuff, just for the sake of spending money.
I love your blue & white flowers in the jar behind you - a tribute to Spudgy whom we love and miss.
Alex Liáng awww thank you for pointing that out!!! That’s so nice to see!!!
“....and I make my own cocktaaaaails” I never snorted so hard before. Coffee through my nose. It’s something I don’t wish upon my worst enemy.
I love grocery shopping around the world!!!
Ana De it’s so interesting!
Same!
I’d just like to mention that this is in a supermarket so things tend to be a bit more expensive by a couple of yen’s. There are way cheaper grocery stores like Gyoumu (their imported food choices are cheaper than most places) and Niku no Hanamasa for cheaper produce. There are also non-chain grocery stores which sometimes may be cheaper. Recently, a grocery store 30 minutes away from where I live were having ¥77 sales so most of the produce like mushrooms, fresh veggies and fruits were priced at that. Don’t be scared to check out drug stores too - I get my eggs for ¥151 at the nearby drug store called HAC. At Seiyu, you can get their local product at much cheaper price too such as less than ¥100 for a bunch of bananas, yogurt and even milk. And keep an eye out when they have promotional days like Meat Day, Fruits Day, Member Day etc. I’m a student living on a budget in Tokyo so these are some of the things I’ve picked up haha!
Yeah they mentioned there were cheaper ones, and they chose a mid-range grocery store just to get a more average price
@@TheFighterfemme yeah but I'd just like people to be aware that not all grocery stores are like that for those who have a tighter budget for students etc. 😊
@@MissTsoisauce Being vegan in Japan is pretty expensive because vegetables here aren't that cheap. But cooking at home will save you a lot of money. Even though I'm not vegan, I cook 95% of the time. Dining out and buying bento feels more like a luxury. It really depends on how much you're willing to spend on groceries. There's an app called トクバイ where it shows you the list of places around your current location and whatever sales that's going on. 😊
@@MissTsoisauce Yeah, I do see them around here but I think dried beans are pretty pricey too? Beans and nuts are expensive, in my opinion. Or maybe, they're just cheap back in my country. You can get cheap-ish canned beans but they're soaked in salt which isn't that good for your sodium intake. :( If you have a bunch of friends, maybe you could try visiting Costco together! 😍
Agreed. They also were buying name brand items (Kelloggs, Lipton). It's cheaper if you buy store brand or Japanese brand. For peanut butter, there are stores where you can grind your own instead of buying Skippy (another name brand). OK market and Life are my 2 favorite stores. Summit is expensive, I don't like to shop there but check for specials. Aeon sometimes has good deals. Gyomu does have good prices. You have buy different items from different stores for bargains.
You guys make 18 minutes go so fast. I'm always entertained.
OMG I MISSED THE TDLR THEME SOOOOONG
I drink tea and coffee, but my god Simon, I've missed your tea rants! 😂🤣
Sometimes the RUclips space gets too dark and serious so I return to your channel and rewatch old wholesome videos like this to remind myself that joyful content for the sake of joyful content still exists
Am I crazy? Or is Martina getting even more Pretty?
no your not
*Bekah Battle* coming from the future, one year later, yes she gets prettier !
Hey Simon, I can respect your opinion on tea, but I suggest some advice from a coffee hobbyist. "If you don't like coffee, you haven't found the right coffee." The same goes for tea and brewing method. I use a cold brew method for making iced tea. It keeps the tea from getting bitter and extracts more of the caffeine. There are also really nice herbal teas with mint and ginger that I use when my stomach is iffy. I know you prefer cold drinks over hot, and there may be some teas out there that may work for you
Sending all of my love to you two during this hard hard time in your life. I lost my 16 year old husky this past spring, and I know how important it is for you to mourn in your own ways. Please know us nasties are here for you now and forever and will be waiting with open arms whenever you turn to us ❤️❤️❤️
that "you're in love with the coco" joke was so good
I subscribed
it was super nice of the warden to let simon out to shoot this video
feckin lol
Today is my 7 year anniversary and I’m cooking Ramen noodles because the struggle is REAL! Grocery shopping in New Jersey is EXPENSIVE!!!!!
Love you Simon and Martina you guys always encourage me to get up and move and never let the day or anyone drag me down ❤️❤️🧡💜
That's lovely of you to say. Thank you. We've been letting some of these past few days get us down, but we're happy to be pushing forward today :D
Girl the struggle is real. If you can try an Aldis. It was a literal life saver for me.
What? But walmart is so cheap?
Maddie - Walmart is definitely cheap but I shop at shop rite because they always have a lot of deals... listen no matter where you go the struggle is something serious
true, when shit gets real every dollar counts- hope you dont stuggle too hard
I wouldn’t call that being a coffee snob. I live in Puerto Rico and my family travels 4 times a year to the other side of the island and buy coffee beans straight from the coffee farmer (not sure what they’re called in English so I guess coffee farmer, but basically the person who owns land and cultivates coffee trees and then harvests the beans and roasts them). Buying locally is good, better quality and you support local economy.
Yaucono isnt good enough? Maaaan I love that stuff.
Jesse Gonzalez Yaucono was pretty good but for the last couple of years the quality has decreased. If you want good supermarket coffee I recommend something like Laureño.

My grandfather is a coffee farmer in Maricao, PR so i appreciate your family supporting the farmers
Coffee farmer is correct for American English but, equally correct and perhaps slightly more commonly used is coffee grower.
So basically to buy groceries you have to sell your organs. Gotcha
Ok I know I am 5628 years late but OMG MARTINAS LAUGH SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE SOUND EFFECT IN ANIMAL CROSSING WHEN YOU PICK UP AN ITEM! 😂 0:28
Am I crazy? 😅😂
I think that Grocery store is still little bit expensive than other store because of that store locates in urban areas. I’m living in country side of Tokyo, but nearest store is more cheap. For example, pack of eggs are 188Yen.
Oh really?! That is interesting. Thank you for telling me :D
Yeah I’ve never seen ¥288 eggs where I live.
Where I live in canada eggs are between 2-3 dollars.
First tldr you guys are comfy making and it’s about grocery stores-makes sense. I hope you two are doing well everything considered-sending lots of love!
I will math you into the ground.
I appreciate learning that each piece of bread is 15 cents....
You guys are one of the few RUclipsrs that I don't mind watching a whole ad for. 😊 Happy surprise that you guys churned out a TL;DR! Missed this! ❤️
Hey it's a new video! We're gonna tell you what groceries are like in Japan.
Simon and Martina Love you guys! ❤️❤️
Aye! Earliest I’ve ever caught a video :D
Simon and Martina Thank you I like learning 👨🏫👩🎓
Love this, because I loved grocery shopping in Korea.
@simonandmartina is that a Big Bang shirt?
I am dying at all this math 😂😂 it's early for me and my brain hurts.
i just shut off my brain whenever he starts with the math (it’s not only the quantities but also the curreny conversion which is only taking 2 zeros but that’s 2 zeros too many xD) and shut it on again when he reaches the end number 😂
@@AyanamiRei5kyu bro, same. I try to keep with it but nope, nope, nope.
If you are from the US or Canada then a quick trick is to just move the decimal point two places to the left. It not exact but it will give you a rough idea of how much they cost in your currency.
@@undetestable1 Oh I know that. That's not the math 😂😂
The math part is EXACT cost per serving. That's the part that has me blanking out. I am good with estimates, that's how I figure these conversions.
Martina looks shell shocked. My same look at this early in the morning.
My Mom and I also love going to the grocery store whenever we travel! We try to always bring back home some of the different seasonings and ingredients that are typical from the place we're visiting - things the locals eat on a daily basis, for example, and that we don't have here in Brazil. People always think we're weird when we say that, so I'm glad to see that you two also do that. I knew we were not alone!
Really glad and excited to see the TL;DR back!!
Just a reminder to watch the adds to give them more money/ support them :)
Because Simon spends too much at the grocery store on FRUIT! Tehehehe
Nikole Trevino i did huhu..
copy captain! no ads were skipped during my binge.
Simon, that Hamadayama joke literally killed me and I need to both thank you and curse you for it. It is the worst joke ever and I love it.
I can't even begin to tell you how happy it makes me to see a tl;dr again. They were some of my favorite old school videos and it's nice to see a return!
You guys are my new favorite RUclipsr couples lol I really appreciate your videos and how informative you are. We're planning on moving to Japan once we get our bachelor's degrees, you guys are SUPER helpful. I have yet to find any videos of people with kids who moved to Japan, but your videos for pets were so helpful 🥰
Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! We missed you! What are you eating tonight? We just had beefy macaroni with ketchup. Classy AF.
Falafel, the 100% traditional swedish meal
I missed you guys too!!!❤️❤️❤️ I had beef caldereta (filipino food) and pizza cause it's my aunts birthday!
Simon and Martina im having a Mac and cheese rn, a spaghettiii and cheese to be more accurate lol
Chicken glass noodle 🍜
I'm having sleep for dinner.
Sorry to break it to you Simon. They don't sell the eggs by the dozen in Japan. The video in 4:06 say its 10pc for 288円. So its actually 28.8円 per egg 🤓
OH FUCK MY MATH BROKE! Damn.
YESSS!! I missed this so much! Love the video, more TL;DRs!!! You guys are the best! Here since 12’
How much does an average japanese person make in a "regular" job? I want to know how expensive groceries are to them (since "expensive" and "cheap" are a little relative)
Seconding this. Does the price of living reflect these prices? If you're "poor" in Japan, would kind of things do you eat?
Maybe that’s why they’re so skinny? Can’t afford to eat much! Lol
A little less than in America for professional work (anything with a college degree). I think unskilled workers make more though.
Avarage is approx 250000yen per month. Most houses/flats are small so you can't stock up much even if there's sale, hence u go to the store nearly every day. Thia equals to spending more. Also, even though online shopping ia huge, same is not true for groceries. Barely any option for online groceries and they tend to be the pricier stores only. Back in Europe we have tesco, auchan, sainsbury's etc, huge affordable supermarkets and most deliver either for free or cheap. Also products sometimes seem cheap, however packaging tends to be small so you actually get a smaller quantity.
Depends on age and if the Company is traditional/unethical or modern/ethical, but on average, the 20-30 year old with a degree makes 210 000 - 250 000 yen,
Minus 14 000 for national healthcare, 16400 nenkin (money that goes to old people, that middle age and youths will never see), about 10% tax, and about 5-10% ward tax.
rent in Tokyo is about 80 000 (for a dump) - 200 000 (slightly better than average)
Fruits, cheese and veggies are going to be the most expensive groceries, followed by domestic meat (Australian meat is still good and costs half price)
It's common for girls to live with their parents until their 30's and for men until their late 20's
Guys also pay for girls when it comes to almost everything in social events, and girls also sometimes have reduced pricing.
Keep in mind that I am talking about Tokyo, rent is much cheaper outside of Tokyo, and the minimum wage is also lower, I believe the lowest minimum wage (legally) is around 700 yen. In Tokyo the lowest minimum wage is 1 000 yen, but since companies are allowed to include 30 hours of unpaid overtime in your contract, your hourly pay becomes much lower.
Inner coffee monologue where you cut yourself off, because yourself was arguing with yourself and you can't stand how yourself was arguing so you silence yourself. XD
*virtual hugs to both* ☺️
Tea is delicious!!! So glad to see you guys again. I really like going to the supermarket when I travel, it’s the best way to get to know the culture, what people eat, the standard of living. So I’m glad I got to see this video.
I honestly love these kinds of videos of looking inside grocery stores in different countries. Thank you for the video Simon and Martina! ❤️
HOW DARE YOU SIMON. Tea is life ☕️
Yes!
Whenever my boyfriend and I go to another CITY we like to look at different grocery stores. It's amazing how much stock is completely different just one city over! (back to the video for me! lol)
A wild TL;DR has appeared! Loved your video guys and I'm glad to see you doing well. One thing I'm curious about is how are the prices of grocery compared to Korea or Canada? More so Korea since you lived there for a while and more recently. Are things roughly the same or different for certain products? And it seems like good cheese will always be hard to find in Asia lol.
P.S. Simon, tea is delicious.
Super great to see you guys back at it! I'm fairly new to the tl;dr series, very informative.
YESSS!! I love your TL;DR series. I'm so happy it's back with a new episode! 💜
I miss these TL;DR’s TT It’s so nostalgic!! 💜💜
I've been having such a hard time at work and literally just seeing you guise posting a TLDR made my whole week
Missed this segment so much! Thanks for bringing it back 😊 Martina, your music is the best, so nostalgic ❤❤
YEY!! Tl;DR is back....luv u guys..glad to see you up and about!
omg I missed the lil TLDR introooo!!
I love your TL;DR !!!!! Thank you so much for bringing it back!!
WHOO!! So excited to see TL;DR back! This was awesome guys thanks!!
the only thing that bothers me is the huge amount of plastic... everything is plastic packed, even small amounts of food
Don't worry literally every person in Japan recycles , their garbage system is highly categorize since most of there waste is burned.
@@ss14dk hmmm even if it gets burned it still affects the environment in some kind of way
@@ss14dk wait recycling isn't the same as burning at all?
Secret Diary of a Foodie not at all ! Recycling uses fossil fuels, while burning things releases the chemicals inside to go up into the air.
@@ss14dk iirc the burning method is one that minimizes the chemical release as much as possible. This is why their trash cans are categorized so meticulously, so they can burn each stuff at the best temperature
This is so interesting! It never ocured to me that it's a privilege to have meat. Thank you cowntry, it's the one thing you're doing right. I'm Argentinian and you always have it cut in front of you. Not just cold meats for sandwiches, regular meat too, they slice the cow right there in the back of the butchery stand.
Inu The Changa cool!! That means you get to know just how fresh your food is. So is it that you get to specify what cut you want and they'll slice it right off? Or they do the cuts and package it right there?
@@LacedWithOreos actually both. They make generic cuts and leave them packaged there or you can ask for something and they'll cut it. It's nice knowing that everything is fresh. I just kind of asumed it was like that everywhere.
1) I love that you call it "cowntry"-in the little town where I live we call it "cow country." 2) I love that method, so much less wasteful than the method we use in the U.S. (which is basically butcher all the cows and stuff the grocery store shelves with it). Your way seems so much less cruel and greedy, and more ecologically-friendly.
FINALLY OLD CONTENT THAT MADE ME WATCH THEM!!! I enjoyed them so much when they lived in Korea!!! I hope to continue enjoying their content this way in Japan too! I love your humble videos :)
Thank you for this upload, love you guys..
woah I am really early for the first time! 😍 sending you guys love from Singapore!!!
Yay Im Singaporean too
The only thing that really looks expensive there from an Australian point of view is the coffee. Everything else seems pretty reasonable 😅
After a long day I was hoping for a video from you guys.. and got blessed with not 1 but 4!! Thanks guys❤️
The editing on this was fantastic! Martina, your voice-over of you, when you cut you off, caused major chuckle-snorting on this end. lolol Great job as always.
I just moved to Japan this month! OMG this going to help a LOT!
They helped me when I lived in Korea.
8:00 Simon loves coffee but argues that tea is just diluted crap. I love the contrast! Simon apparently also eats his coffee beans for the full flavor! LOL
I'm also a coffee snob btw
I’m so glad y’all did this episode. I rewatch the videos when you go into a Korean grocery store all the time. I love this stuff. I wanna know how the locals live and a grocery store is the perfect mundane activity to explore.
WOW it's been so long since I've seen your TLDR's. I love these series, because it gives a glimpse on everyday life, and its is so lovely. It's so interesting to see how you've made a life in Korea and Japan!
you guys are funny! you just made my day, you probably hear this all the time. but I'm serious, keep up the good work
Actually I found this quite iteresting..nice work.🥣
That's some serious commitment to detail. Love you guys, thanks for being awesome.
lol I love you guys, having a down day so watching random old videos for laughs 💖💖💖
Thanks for uploading. I don't have many friends since I moved to the south (USA) with my husband.
Watching your videos makes me feel like I have adult friends.
Also, always sending good vibes to you both.
L-A-*zed*-Y
Took my American ears a minute to remember that everyone else says “zed” instead of “zee” when they see the letter Z. Haha
Love it! Yasssss! I took pictures of everything in Japan, so i basically have the entire of a supermarket pictured. It's sweet to know you guys know i need this.
Omg best birthday gift ever!! It was my birthday october 1st, and i loved tldr so much back then. Love you guys always❤❤
I love you guys! Good to see you guys doing better ❤️❤️❤️ and AMEN to supermarkets in foreign countries!!!!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've missed TL:DR. I love grocery stores! They are so therapeutic for me!
OMG we are totally about this! Loved the video and cannot wait for the next one!
Thank you both so much for this video and the bonus videos... I really needed a good laugh, I've been going through a tough depression time, and laughing felt so good!
Japan has just signed a trade agreement with the EU, and CHEESE WAS INCLUDED!!
Wow, today I learned from Martina that soy milk is made by “taking beans and squeezing them in a NUTSACK.” Welp, brb throwing out my soy milk... 😂
IT'S TRUE! I even made homemade soy milk before and I had to buy...A NUTSACK FOR THEM!!! YOU SEE DES NUTS!?
Simon and Martina I just googled it and dang... you ain’t lyin’!!!
You can eat the bean pulp after squeezing it in a nut sack.
I am SOOOOOOOO happy that I’m not the only one that loves to go to the grocery store when visiting other countries! 🙌🏻♥️ I LOVE IT 😍 aaaaaand the same about the coffee! Love you guys, lots of love from Chile 🇨🇱
Omg I saw the title and my immediate thought is, WHAT NO WAY
And then, YESSSSS ❤️ I missed these. Thank you so much!
Totally not lame!! I enjoy going to grocery stores to see what kind of snacks, foods, and ALCOHOLLLLL are enjoyed in other countries. I was excited when I went to the grocery store in Vancouver years ago to see Canadian snacks. Hawaii is fun too because a lot of the snacks there don’t even exist on the main land.
I was seriously just about to sleep. I saw your post and was like I can do it but when I was about to give up the notification came. 😂😂 I personally love donkey hotel, it’s quite cheap and has everything
No matter what the video is, you guys always make me smile. ☺️
i stopped watching your videos a while ago because my life took a turn but i just checked you guys out again and im glad yall are still together:D
I totally understand the grocery store thing. When I lived in Denmark, because we lived close ish to the border (1hr by car.) We'd drive to a border Germany town with a huge store that sold bulk items, almost specifically for Danes and Swedes as Germany allowed or sold several items that weren't commonly available in Scandinavia. (Fx, most Scandinavian countries don't sell pop cans, only bottles, so if you wanted cans you had to go to Germany.)
Simon: “tea is just diet flavored stuff”
Me: Agree *sips on her flowery tea*
I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss this vibe. Both their lovey banter together and how the world was pre-covid.
I’m glad they both are doing what they need to do to keep themselves healthy and well post-divorce. I didn’t realize what was going on until Martina’s goodbye video this week. I just saw that they were posting less and posting separately (I assumed there was some tension. But I was equating it to covid because I don’t really use instagram nor followed the new videos closely)
I hope Simon and Martina are doing well and are enjoying their lives 💖
This video was such a blast of nostalgia! Happy to see y'all happy
