Maro and Luna are so cute! It was so sweet of that lady to give you one of your favourites and to also give you a birthday cake for Keyboard-san! It all looks so yummy.
I go in with a list and a budget and stick to it, but I often see things I like. Rather than throw my budget out the window, I make notes and try to work them in the next month's budget. As a matter of fact, I just got a Christmas windfall and I'm making a list of small appliances that I'd like to get, including that blender that Sharmander wanted.
This is SO funny to watch because we looked at so many of the same things. I almost bought the tub of raspberries but it was like 800en, and I'm like, "man in Vancouver we have these things growing on the frigging highways." And man I wish I could have found the GIANT PACK OF CANNED TOMATOES. Damnnnn!
i love ur relationship with maro, some people says that cats are "bad·, "non emotional" and stuff like that, but watching maro is like obviously they love u
Just discovered your channel in my feed. Your fluency in Japanese is fascinating!! Going to subscribe to find out more on how this came to be. Keep up the positive attitude!
Just a thought: if you want a hand blender/immersion blender and need to justify it, you can use it to make smoothies in a cup, blend up soup, make salad dressings, etc. I use it when i make chili to blend a tiny bit of beans to thicken it up. Way easier to clean (also takes up less real estate) than a blender!
Hey Sharla catching up on your vids and noticed that bigpack of make up removers .. u could get some crochet ones and wash them .. less garbage and money to spend. Don't know if u allready have but yeah ^^ ..
I'm so happy to get a "glimpse" of Keyboard-san!!!! It's my first time hearing his voice and see his hands! I'm fangirling coz I finally saw dear Sharla' bf. I'm certainly missing a lot of Sharla's videos haha. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your whole family Sharla :)
you call them house coats? oooh I know most people have different names for those but I've never heard that one before :o That name makes a lot of sense haha~ I'm from England and I call it a dressing gown which sounds stupidly posh lol
In Dutch we call them "badjassen" which translates to 'bath coats'. Probably because people wear them after they take a bath? I never really questioned the name xD
Yup, house coat like a bathrobe you sleep in or wear around the house in the winter. Actually, performers often call the satin robes dressing gowns still. =D
Wow! I’ve ordered Costco from instant cart delivery before but I’ve never actually been inside a Costco. This store is huge! Almost overwhelmingly huge! I really have to go to the store in person. I appreciate you sharing. I just started making shopping walkthrough videos. I still feel weird filming in public. Do you have any advice on how you film in public? I’d love to learn from each other! TFS!! 🌹🌸🌺☘️💚💐🐝
Yesss BigBang's new songs are so amazing *^^* we don't have Costcos here but that store looks amazing! Keyboard-san speaking in English is really cute hahaha
Costco is so badass, I always get excited when my mom takes me shopping there! When you live in a small college town, its hard to come by a place with great grocery selection like Costco!
God I would not be able to stand living in Japan with fruit prices like that! England is so cheap in comparison... I think £2 for raspberries is expensive and yours is 8$ish for the same amount!
The prices for those fruit are actually the same here in my corner of Canada as they are in japan. I wasn't surprised that it was so expensive. I'm rather jealous that it's so cheap there. XD
Hi Sharla, About that stick blender. First off, I use my stick blender more than I use a counter top one. The clean up is so much easier. They are great for making smoothies right in the glass.(I just made a glass of eggnogg with it) I Puree soups right in the pot. Squash (Pumpkin) and Potato leek soups are my favorites. And yes I do use it to make whipped cream. You mentioned that you wanted one to make whipped cream. Is there a vegan equivalent? Happy Holidays to You, Keyboard San, Maro and Luna!!!
Most Japanese homes are so small, where would they put all the stuff that are bought in bulk? I know my dad's house in Japan is on the small side, so a Costco visit might not be too practical for him.
Aaah, it feels nice to understand most of the Japanese you both talk. I've only been studying Japanese for 1 1/2 and I'm reeaally not all that good. Actually, I failed one of my exams this year but it's really stressful with all the other things I have to keep in mind for uni. But anyway, this kinda store reminds me of a store chain in Germany called "Metro", although I think you basically have to have your own business to go in there but there's soooo much stuff there in such huge packs. But it also reminds me that things are so expensive in Japan ... Oh geez.
Liam Moreno I LOVE going to Costco! If you have a small family or live alone, it might be pointless because the sizes are extremely big, but it's quite cheaper than regular sizes and if you have the space, you can bulk up for some time! Even the clothes are quite a bargain! And they have brand names.
Hi Sharla! Loved this vlog because it's all about food, which I love more than anything. My fav part of costo is the cafeteria for cheap hot dogs, do they have that in Japan? Re coconut milk: I don't know if you make or eat much South East Asian cuisine but it's really good for Thai or Malaysian curries (the high fat stuff is the best but for health reasons, using low fat coconut milk is good too). The easiest thing to do with it though is to just dump in a can (2-3 cups to taste) into your rice cooker with uncooked rice (add about 75% of usual water quantity) and make coconut rice. It smells and taste awesome!! And with the cranberries: you can make your own cranberry sauce with dried cranberries (if you ca't find fresh/frozen ones)! I tried it last year for Xmas and it wasn't too hard, just putting a few ingredients in a pot and stirring. Hope you have a great Christmas!! :)
Wow that Costco is huge! (I shared this video with my best friend cause she shops at Costco all the time). Keyboard-san talks! LOL. That was nice of him to offer to film you punching the punching bag. Maro seems like such a lazy cat ha ha.
Uuuh YES! Need to keep costco in mind when my boyfriend and me will move to japan ... big packs are so handy and it seem they have more international food there? the christmas stollen was german I believe ^^ I hope keybord-san loved the cake
well you clicked on it......so i'm guessing it's a good recommendation? it was the same for me haha i don't know why this was recommended for me either haha but hey i kind of found it interesting.
Margaret Guenther Some people do it for health reasons. Some people do it because of animal cruelty. Some people do it for both. I have been a raw vegan for almost 3 years and I remember the difference I felt in my mood, body. When I just eat fruits and veggies I feel more refreshed. I was a regular vegan for 2 years and been a raw vegan for almost 1 year.
Jess Snow If you ever plan on visiting Japan, you could try the following to save on veggies: 1. buy from veggies vending machines or self-help veggies stands (direct from farmers) 2. befriend a Japanese mom or two, coz they have a knack to find the best price 3. do research to determine in-season crops particular to the region you plan to visit. cheers
Try looking for dried cranberries or fresh. It is super easy to make sauce out of fresh. I love costco but getting large sizes is a problem to gt home & store. Happy Birthday, Keyboard san! Huggs,silky
OMg.. A shopping tour. I really can't take this much excitement. I realize youtube is al aboutl brain dead vlogs, but aren't you taking that concept to an all new level?
Hand blenders are great, because you can whizz up soup while it's still hot, and make milkshakes / frappes with them, and they're also good for making dips. Plus they're easy to clean and don't take up much space. Totally worth the investment.
btw sharla, do you eat the stems of broccoli too? they are so delicious when raw and in a salad! all ya gotta do is peel off the thick hard skin, it usually tears right off if you give it a little cut!
This is the first video of yours I've seen! Have been kinda binge watching your channel since? Lol. I'm so captivated by the Japanese culture, definitely want to visit Japan and go to that hot spring you went to one day! You seem so down to earth, keep on keeping on. P.S. Hope we get to see who the mystery man is one day as well.
Low key jealous of your adventures. I'm also Canadian, but in a small town. I hope I get to visit Japan someday, and I am really enjoying your vlogmas :D
The hand blender is useful for so much. Go ahead and get it, you'll use it for more than you thought and it's easier to clean than other, larger machines.
Costco is like an adults theme park. I'm obsessed.
Jessie D Haha so true!
Maro and Luna are so cute!
It was so sweet of that lady to give you one of your favourites and to also give you a birthday cake for Keyboard-san! It all looks so yummy.
I love it when someone is unexpectedly nice! It's nice to know that some people are still lovely and generous 😊❤️
My kitten always gets so excited when we watch your vlogs because she loves to see Luna and Maro! 💕
Costco is like Ikea. You go with a list but then you just get sucked in and go round and round trying to talk yourself out of buying more stuff. :)
And come out broke. 😂
I go in with a list and a budget and stick to it, but I often see things I like. Rather than throw my budget out the window, I make notes and try to work them in the next month's budget. As a matter of fact, I just got a Christmas windfall and I'm making a list of small appliances that I'd like to get, including that blender that Sharmander wanted.
Sam's Club is better.
Can,t wait to see what your new place looks like
Keyboard-san seems to be very stylish
I noticed that too! Nice watch he's got.
Yeah he really is
No idea why this was in my recommended but it shows that RUclips is making effort to share your content with people.
Cute cats though! :D
They always choose the worst videos to put in people's recommendations ^^; Sorry about that, haha.
Sharmander It was much better than those annoying Top 10 videos. lol
Thanks for the quick reply though. :D
P.S. 1 of my latest video Unboxings is something rather cool that has to do with your Sharmander name. ;-)
This is SO funny to watch because we looked at so many of the same things. I almost bought the tub of raspberries but it was like 800en, and I'm like, "man in Vancouver we have these things growing on the frigging highways."
And man I wish I could have found the GIANT PACK OF CANNED TOMATOES. Damnnnn!
Micaela's Japanese Life Hahaha ikr!! I loled so much watching your vid and seeing you pick out the same things😂 #canadianstyle
i love ur relationship with maro, some people says that cats are "bad·, "non emotional" and stuff like that, but watching maro is like obviously they love u
okay, I know this is so nosy but I'm dying to see what Keyboard-san looks like ahhhh !!!!!!!
shoshana m same 😂😂
I bet he's super pretty and I just can't handle it
yeah maybe he is 😂😂
Just discovered your channel in my feed. Your fluency in Japanese is fascinating!! Going to subscribe to find out more on how this came to be. Keep up the positive attitude!
Welcome to my channel :D
I hear that you're just as obsessed with "Fxxk It" as I am xD
Sweetsoul x ikr!! Legends only 👏
she's directly obsessed with BIGBANG (and I have to admit that me too lol)
It's my ringtone ^_^
I was dancing to it when I took the trash out. The people who live next to me are use to me listening as they say to that foreign music again!
Michaelさん is
I don't know what it is, but I get so excited when vloggers take me to Costco. Especially Japan's Costco! Thanks for taking us with you
That is the calmest Costco ever.
Jacy Hulett - HAHA exactly what i was thinking
It's Japan, people are more polite over there.
The Costco near me often has rude customers and it's often crowded. I didn't see any of that in this vid.
Just a thought: if you want a hand blender/immersion blender and need to justify it, you can use it to make smoothies in a cup, blend up soup, make salad dressings, etc. I use it when i make chili to blend a tiny bit of beans to thicken it up. Way easier to clean (also takes up less real estate) than a blender!
Had to pause the video to comment that I like your fiancés outfit :P LOL
Hey Sharla catching up on your vids and noticed that bigpack of make up removers .. u could get some crochet ones and wash them .. less garbage and money to spend. Don't know if u allready have but yeah ^^ ..
That sweet neighbor ❤❤❤
Japanese people are so sweet, The lady from sweets made me Awww. So nice of her
Notification Squad where you at?! 💛✨
I know where is that I went there 2 times I love that place and I love the food clamchawder :)
thanks for having captions for the Deaf. I enjoyed watching and learning about Japan.
First time viewer. Enjoyed your Costco shopping. interesting to see similiar and different products. Love they are carried many more Organic products.
She's beautiful
Hope you'll show us what the sweets look like! The packaging looks cute!
Forget Costco, I want that fluffy cat!!
Thanks for sharing this video. Love seeing what other Costco's have especially in different countries.
RoseAustin C. It just looks like the same shit they have everywhere.
Keyboard-san "no"
*walks away*
😂😂😂😂
ITS SO CUTE WHEN YOU SAID ''IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT THUMBS DOWN IT ITS OAKY'' WE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS SHARLA
All mochi are vegan?
But some of them have stuffing, right?
Não é minha culpa que não sou popular yes they do
Most of the traditional mochis are vegan because the fillings are usually a red bean paste or a fruit.
Yep ^
Typically yes.
I'm so happy to get a "glimpse" of Keyboard-san!!!! It's my first time hearing his voice and see his hands! I'm fangirling coz I finally saw dear Sharla' bf. I'm certainly missing a lot of Sharla's videos haha. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your whole family Sharla :)
Hey Sharla is Japan a clean country? I mean like streets and shops and so on.
Very!
Kinda cool seeing some of the food products that Japan carries. Love you sharla!
you call them house coats? oooh I know most people have different names for those but I've never heard that one before :o That name makes a lot of sense haha~ I'm from England and I call it a dressing gown which sounds stupidly posh lol
bunny me too :')
we call em bathrobe (badjas) in Dutch hahaha
In Dutch we call them "badjassen" which translates to 'bath coats'. Probably because people wear them after they take a bath? I never really questioned the name xD
I call it a dressing gown in Ireland too :)
Yup, house coat like a bathrobe you sleep in or wear around the house in the winter. Actually, performers often call the satin robes dressing gowns still. =D
poor Maro I hope his mouth heals. I love that he responds to just the change in tone when you speak to him its so cute
Keyboard-san.....get Sharla the punching bag!!
I really enjoyed this! My son works at Costco in Hawaii and it is nice to see the differences! Thank you!
wait reese's cereal is vegan?
naviproductions yuppp😍
Hi, Sharmander. please tell me that Japanese Costco store address, so that I can go to check it up. Thank you very much
Wow! I’ve ordered Costco from instant cart delivery before but I’ve never actually been inside a Costco. This store is huge! Almost overwhelmingly huge! I really have to go to the store in person. I appreciate you sharing. I just started making shopping walkthrough videos. I still feel weird filming in public. Do you have any advice on how you film in public? I’d love to learn from each other! TFS!! 🌹🌸🌺☘️💚💐🐝
I'm not sure if this is a silly question or not, but do you own a kotatsu?
And if you do own one, how much do you love/hate it? :)
We don't have Cotsco in Italy but it looks super big and full with stuff!! :D
I honestly love your costco adventures with your fiance.
Damn son! Keyboard-san looks stylish!
Yesss BigBang's new songs are so amazing *^^* we don't have Costcos here but that store looks amazing! Keyboard-san speaking in English is really cute hahaha
'House coats aren't that popular in Japan'. They're not popular in the U.S. either. Wtf is a house coat lol?
I thought the same thing too until I saw that she meant a robe.
I love house shoes
isnt she canadian? they are popular here.
Looks like a "robe", which ate plenty popular in the US. Just not called house coats anymore. (except maybe by old people?)
In the UK we call them dressing gowns
Costco is so badass, I always get excited when my mom takes me shopping there! When you live in a small college town, its hard to come by a place with great grocery selection like Costco!
Call me stupid but...what's a house coat?
The only thing Hugh Hefner is wearing.
Irma-C ☆ in the UK we call the dressing gowns or bath robes
It is just another term for bath robe that is commonly used in Canada. She is Canadian.
Funny. I didn't hear an American use the term. I DID hear a Canadian use it.
Would like to see her in a birthday suit.
Never thought grocery shopping would be so interesting lol
Sharla, you should do more grocery shopping! 😁
God I would not be able to stand living in Japan with fruit prices like that! England is so cheap in comparison... I think £2 for raspberries is expensive and yours is 8$ish for the same amount!
Also wow your cats are ninjas! Glad they have a little staircase though haha
The prices for those fruit are actually the same here in my corner of Canada as they are in japan. I wasn't surprised that it was so expensive. I'm rather jealous that it's so cheap there. XD
That costco looks awesome;) you should definitely buy the punching thing, looks like fun.
Whaaat!!! There is Costco in Japan!
I loooove Costco! Seems like we're seeing/hearing more of keyboard-san lately, so that's awesome!
What?? No "Mr. Sparkle"?! :D
Harvey Abel where the JDM wheele at?
Immersion blenders are really nice for soup too! And smoothies. And whipped cream. Get it :) And that unsalted nut mix is the best!
I wanted to see the snack section or the stuff that they have in Japanese costco that we don't have :(
Hi Sharla, About that stick blender. First off, I use my stick blender more than I use a counter top one. The clean up is so much easier.

Most Japanese homes are so small, where would they put all the stuff that are bought in bulk? I know my dad's house in Japan is on the small side, so a Costco visit might not be too practical for him.
The hand mixer is a must. It's great to emulsify soups as well as the whip cream
Haha I work at Costco in America XD I didn't know that we had stores in Japan O.o
I didn't know Tesco in UK is Costco.
smasila
But there's Costco in the UK...
There can be more than 1 wholesale store. In the US we have a bunch. BJs, Costco, Sam's Club.
Aaah, it feels nice to understand most of the Japanese you both talk. I've only been studying Japanese for 1 1/2 and I'm reeaally not all that good.

I didn't know that they had costcos in other countries and that they were so big
R Pedraza it's an international company and your membership card works no matter what country your in
I've been to three different Costco's worldwide: Mexico (I live here), USA and Canada. :)
hahhaha I laughed when your fiance was like "lol no you better not buy that". You and keyboard-san are super cute together xxxxx
Is your fiancée Japanese?
I'm pretty sure he is.
Yes he is
He sounds like a foreigner speaking Japanese.
She just made a video where she revealed he is actually Korean!
I love love love costco.
& your neighbors are so sweet. Happy Early Bday to Keyboard-san~
I've never been to Costco and when I say that literally everyone looks at me weird. AM I THE ONLY ONE?
Liam Moreno I LOVE going to Costco! If you have a small family or live alone, it might be pointless because the sizes are extremely big, but it's quite cheaper than regular sizes and if you have the space, you can bulk up for some time!

Liam Moreno there's no Costco here in Italy so I've never been there either :(
Liam Moreno no you are not we don't have Costco in my country
Me too...

BIG BANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
It makes me happy to see keyboard-san being a little more social in vlogs! And it's so sweet he offered to help film you!
that's the most I've seen or heard keyboardsan speak lol why is he called that btw
Because one time when Sharka was answering questions, he was smashing the keyboard in the background and you can hear the sound :D
Taylor Tindell-gates he's also a gamer
Yess Costco! When I go there in the mornings, I skip breakfast and eat all the samples instead. Not ideal, but it works!
SOMEBODY SEND HER CRANBERRY SAUCE
Wow that Costco is huge! (I shared this video with my best friend cause she shops at Costco all the time).
Keyboard-san talks! LOL. That was nice of him to offer to film you punching the punching bag.
Maro seems like such a lazy cat ha ha.
So similar to a US Costco
Of course it's the same company.
Uuuh YES! Need to keep costco in mind when my boyfriend and me will move to japan ... big packs are so handy and it seem they have more international food there? the christmas stollen was german I believe ^^
I hope keybord-san loved the cake
What a sweet, happy and utterly delightful young lady you are, madam - SUBSCRIBED! :)
God bless you, Happy 2017!
The hand blender is actually really great! I use it to blend alot of soups like butternut squash! :) Think about it !!!
japan's costco is the size of a friggin' airport? wtf
Your makeup looks so good lately could you do another make up haul to show us the new stuff your wearing 😍
why is this video in my recommended? is it because I'm asian?
Yes
Whoa...
well you clicked on it......so i'm guessing it's a good recommendation? it was the same for me haha i don't know why this was recommended for me either haha but hey i kind of found it interesting.
Coconut milk is amazing in coffee and currys! It's a super nice dairy replacement if you get tired of soya/almond etc etc.
I'm a raw vegan and I would be poor living there fruit is sooooooooo expensive 😭😢😢😢😢😢
Jess Snow what's the reason people go vegan I just don't get it
Margaret Guenther Some people do it for health reasons. Some people do it because of animal cruelty. Some people do it for both. I have been a raw vegan for almost 3 years and I remember the difference I felt in my mood, body. When I just eat fruits and veggies I feel more refreshed. I was a regular vegan for 2 years and been a raw vegan for almost 1 year.
+Jess Snow
in-season veggies in Japan are pretty cheap (not in Tokyo though), but fruits are usually pretty expensive.
Alex W. OH ok thank you I know some other youtubers showed some fruit in Japan and just 1 pear was $4 😱
Jess Snow
If you ever plan on visiting Japan, you could try the following to save on veggies:
1. buy from veggies vending machines or self-help veggies stands (direct from farmers)
2. befriend a Japanese mom or two, coz they have a knack to find the best price
3. do research to determine in-season crops particular to the region you plan to visit.
cheers
Try looking for dried cranberries or fresh. It is super easy to make sauce out of fresh. I love costco but getting large sizes is a problem to gt home & store.
Happy Birthday, Keyboard san!
Huggs,silky
Won't buy product with butter, but then talks about making whipped cream.
Fratm's Linux Channel well you can make whip cream out of coconut milk or aquafava..
Still found it funny. Wasn't really judging.
Fratm's Linux Channel
You rang?
I had just bought soy milk whip cream in the previous vlog so I was referring to that ;)
aww i hope you get to find your favourite burgers & cranberry sauce real soon! best of luck.
lost me at vegan
I love watching your videos because I get to learn more about Japan. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos. ^-^
I've found that Japan is so extra when it comes to cakes but in the best way!! They are all so pretty!
Such a sweet old lady, giving you and keyboard-san food 😊 And seeing all those food and snack in costco make me hungry
OMg.. A shopping tour. I really can't take this much excitement. I realize youtube is al aboutl brain dead vlogs, but aren't you taking that concept to an all new level?
Hand blenders are great, because you can whizz up soup while it's still hot, and make milkshakes / frappes with them, and they're also good for making dips. Plus they're easy to clean and don't take up much space. Totally worth the investment.
I loved the ramps that you could bring shopping carts on I've never seen those in America!
this video is interesting to watch and Maro and Luna is sooo cute
KEYBOARDSAN SAIKOU! :D you guys are totally OTP sharla, i cant even!
btw sharla, do you eat the stems of broccoli too? they are so delicious when raw and in a salad! all ya gotta do is peel off the thick hard skin, it usually tears right off if you give it a little cut!
It was really cool to see the Costco in Japan! I work at one in Alaska, USA, but I wish we carried more of what the Japan Costco does.
i've never been to costco but this looks super huge and amazing!
This is the first video of yours I've seen! Have been kinda binge watching your channel since? Lol. I'm so captivated by the Japanese culture, definitely want to visit Japan and go to that hot spring you went to one day!
You seem so down to earth, keep on keeping on.
P.S. Hope we get to see who the mystery man is one day as well.
Low key jealous of your adventures. I'm also Canadian, but in a small town. I hope I get to visit Japan someday, and I am really enjoying your vlogmas :D
I love your vlogmases so far! It's really fun seeing little glimpses of your daily life in Japan:)
The hand blender is useful for so much. Go ahead and get it, you'll use it for more than you thought and it's easier to clean than other, larger machines.
