The hidden gem of this video is the checkout process where they delicately put your groceries into another basket. It really represents what Japan is all about. Much better than tossing your things across the conveyer like in the U.S.

Thanks for sharing that experience.

Cost is relative. I love seeing what things cost in different parts of the world. I live in NYC and a lot of times when people say things are expensive I love to compare the cost to NYC, because more often then not things are less expensive. For example, I feel like your grocery haul in NYC would easily be double if you went to a comparable market to the one on the video. That said, you could likely find alternative markets to reduce the cost and align more with your experience in Japan.
I love these kind of videos. Thanks for sharing. Your videos [on all your channels] are always calming and not over produced/hyped/exaggerated. It's very approachable/relatable.

I don’t know if it is a good comparison since I shop at Costco. 24 eggs are $4.50. The oikos yogurt no sugar 15 grams of protein is under a dollar a piece at Costco. Blueberries 6.99 for 18 ozs. A whole pineapple is 2.99. At a regular grocery store the prices are more as much as double if you go to the national chain. Trader Joe’s things are cheaper but less variety. We also have a store called Winco where prices are similar to Costco pricing. I get a lot of my pantry items there as it lets me buy a few cans instead of a whole six pack. I’m in California.

Looks like the prices are fairly comparable to TN. A 4 pack of activia is $3, so your groceries are a little cheaper. As is everything in that part of the world compared to the US. Thanks for taking us along for the shopping!

I was really struck by the produce section of the supermarket and how EVERYTHING was so over-packaged in plastic. And so much pre-prepared and plastic packed food too. How sad. I somehow thought of Japan as a healthy place to live a long life but western-style processed food is taking over the world I suppose. It was interesting to see, thanks for sharing.

Have you found an 'American sized guest' hotel ( especially the furniture )chain in Japan? Thx

[@travelasiawithallie]

They are tough to find. Our room at the Kanazawa Hyatt House was as close to “American sized” as we found. We tried our best to find a decent size room but as you know, it’s tough in Japan:-;

I am a Coke drinker! How much was the coke? Do you exchange your money from Vietnam or save it for the next time you visit. Then exchange more in Japan or use credit cards? Can cokes in the vending machines have doubled in price in the last couple of months!

[@travelasiawithallie]

Coke is about .60 to $1 usd, you can buy them at the grocery store, convenience store and vending machines, most come in bottles. You don’t see a ton of canned items in Asia.

@@travelasiawithallie thanks Allie, I notice hubby Rob usually has a coke with his meals !
