Which Japanese Costco food do YOU wanna try??
MRS. AND MR. EATS..... I WANT TO try everything... 🤩🥳🤩🥳🤪😜🤣🤭🤭🤭
@@michaeldthreelegs1312 Same! 😁
Great video, but WHY didn't you mention the prices ? That's what we want to know the most !! ☹️
Why are you blocking the prices on the items ? We want to see the prices !
My wife works for Costco and wow, your prepared foods and food court are on a whole different level
Wow really?? Do you want to try Japan Costco food?
@@MrsEats Heck yeah! We have really weird, bland, monochrome foods in our Costco food courts. Typical America, lol
@@K._Red Don't forget they got rid of the polish dog too, dark days. Yeah generally speaking most food courts inside stores have bland food god bless America :(
Tell your wife to work harder 😆 just kidding
yeah it sucks. I saw NZ has better stuff in their costco food court too. we need to complain about it. unfortunately you have to call or show up to member services in order to let them know about being dissatisfied with the selection. let em know we see how other countries clearly have it better
we actually pronounce it Alfredo! I can understand if you see アルフレド on a package, you might think it's "Alfred," but since it's Italian, or maybe more accurately Italian American, it's Alfredo. It's a sauce made with butter, heavy cream, parmesan, and garlic. Alfredo is the name of the chef who invented it!
Oooh thank you for the information!! Parmesan!! That's why it taste interesting to me! I don't eat parmesan so often so the taste is still new to me!
@@MrsEats " I don't eat parmesan so often"
Try to get imported Parmesan from Italy. Another level of good
but sort of pricey.
Real Alfredo does not have cream in it.
@@suzz1776 Don't say that... just don't say that.
@@suzz1776 ReAl AlFrEdO doEs NoT...maybe not, but who cares?
Hello!! Namaste 🙏
I love your videos & am fascinated by Japan (as many others).
Yes, in India we do have such curry breads & its varieties.
1. Kachori: This actually looks like the one you are eating. The filling is different though, it's lentils with spices in a dough ball, which is then fried.
2. Litti: It's a variation of kachori. Only difference, it's made of whole wheat flour, & the filling is dry consisting of sattu (powdered roasted pulses/grains), chillies & spices, which is then baked in open fire/charcoal or sometimes deep fried. This is basically a staple food of Bihar.
3. Vada pav: This contains buns (pav) with fried potato fritters (Vada) in between with sauce (it's basically our indian burger). This then is enjoyed as it is, or sometimes the whole is fried in besan. It is native to Maharashtra.
4. Paratha: There are flat breads (same as in Singapore) with stuffing inside, which can vary from cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, paneer, minced meat 'keema', etc to name a few, (actually what your heart desires) & then shallow sometimes deep fried in ghee(clarified butter). There is also a sweet version where it's stuffed with sugar or 'gur'(jaggery).
5. Bread pakora: We literally put stuffing inside bread like, spiced potatoes,paneer/cottage cheese, chicken etc. coat it in besan/gram flour & deep fry it.
I'm sure there must be tons of other variations in other provinces here. I just named a few popular ones enjoyed all over India. These foods originated from one place, but they diversified & got adopted according to the taste palate of the region. So I might not have everything correct.
Take care. Lots of love from India🇮🇳
I'm truly jealous. Japan's Costco looks amazing with so many different variations of foods, and even the Food Court options are seasonal?? I'd love to see something like that in US Costcos. All we have are hotdogs, pizza (cheese, pepperoni), chicken bakes, and churros. You do get the soft serve and a few shakes/smoothies, but that's really it, sadly. Sure, you see the Kirkland brand items that are found throughout every warehouse, but I would love to see more products from outside the US- especially more foods from or inspired by Japan.
I like Costco a lot! I think they have good quality foods and snacks. I remember buying a big box of pastries when my family was coming to visit and they were some of the most delicious pastries I've had. I almost ate the entire box myself.
*sigh* ...now I'm hungry.
Yes I always feel hungry when I go to Costco!!
@@MrsEats If you want to save money, never go to Costco with an empty stomach! I've made that mistake and came home with enough stuff to feed an army.
Mrs. Eats, love the energy you bring in your video’s! Happy eating!
I feel like a lot of Japanese RUclipsrs are featuring Topoki (sp?) lately and I never heard of it when I lived in Japan 15 years ago. It looks yummy so I hope the trend comes to the US!
It's Korean food! Korean food is really popular in Japan now!!
It is korean and is originally spelled tteokbokki (떡볶이). I can confirm it is definitely in the US. Hope that helps you find it somewhere!
I live across from a Bonchon and they have it... It is SPICY, this is coming from someone who likes super spicy food so beware!! Bonchon seems to be a chain so there might be one near you, I can't speak to how authentic it is but I enjoyed it. I've also found a kit at Lotte (international market) and that one was yummy too.
Aloha Mrs. and Mr. Eats! I am a huge Fuakin fan from Hawaii~! So I noticed 2 things. First thing is, Poke means to cube up something like Ahi (maguro) and mix it with stuff like sesame oil and soy sauce kine tings lol. Its pronounced the same in Japanese as it is in Hawaiian. Secondly, speaking of Hawaiian, we love rice here! It's a staple so when I seen that bisque I also thought about slapping it on some rice!!! So good. Love your videos
Oooh thank you so much!! Poke sounds very good! I want to try it now!! We don't see poke food so often here, but now I know I can get it at Costco!! Yes rice in the soup will be very tasty!! Hawaiian people know how to eat!!
And don't forget our love for spam, brudda! Spam musubi is also a must try! And of course you gotta try the poke! It's Hawaiian sushi! Actually...let's see if Mrs. Eats can do a whole video on Hawaiian foods...
@@MrsEats Poke has become very popular on the US mainland, with poke restaurants popping up all over the place within the last 5 years or so. Alot of Ramen restaurants in the US started selling poke as well. Its basically sushi in a bowl. It's usually a bed of rice, topped with fish, and things like edemame, tomago, seaweed, furikake, unagi sauce, and spicy mayonnaise, among other things. Most of the restraunts let you customize your order.
I love your videos and your humour, mainly when you put anime references in your videos or when Mr. Eats appears. I k ow there's a big Brazilian community living in Japan, so I'd like to see you trying Brazilian snacks. Regards from Portugal.
I hung out with many Brazilians while I was in Japan. I remember Japanese coming up to me and saying they were fascinated by a Brazilian and an American speaking together in Japanese. They said they assumed all foreigners just spoke English together.
Some parts of the US eat intestine too but I think they are called "chitlins ". Tomato rice soup is often a standard type to find in a can :D.
Alfredo sauce is a cream sauce that goes great with pasta/spaghetti but also sometimes with chicken or apparently salmon :D I don't have an alfredo sauce recipe but I have a pumpkin alfredo sauce recipe :D
INGREDIENTS
12 oz. fettuccine
2 tbsp. butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 c. pumpkin puree (canned or frozen)
1/2 c. whole milk
1/2 c. finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 tsp. chopped rosemary
1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in rosemary and pumpkin. Pour in milk and stir until evenly combined, then stir in Parmesan and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until you reach your desired consistency.
Turn off heat and toss pasta in the sauce. Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan, if desired.
Alfredo sauce - It's a white cheesy sauce. I really like it in Chicken Alfredo with broccoli and a side of buttered italian bread or garlic bread. mmmmmm
Oh sounds good like that!!
@@MrsEats It's even better with garlic sauteed shrimp and scallops! I cook the dish with white wine. Delicious! Chef's kiss!
Japan: OMG this sandwich is so big!
America: this sandwich would go well with pizza and a milkshake
In all seriousness, Japan Costco looks so good! Especially the soft serve!
🤣🤣🤣
In Hispanic culture, we use cow stomach for Menudo (it’s a type of soup), and it is amazing. Many non-Hispanic people think it’s gross.
Sounds good!! I want to try it!!
We use it in Nigerian stews too it's so good! I think Americans call it tripe
@@BonBonHassan they do, in Spanish, we call it thripas
@@MrsEats it’s very good. We love it in my family, but my wife, not so much. 😂
Tomato based menudo is good. The tripe is garbage.
Japanese Costco is definitely superior to Canadian Costco. While I like Costco, it looks like you have more variety and definitely a way better food court. I chuckled at the 'Alfred sauce'. Alfredo sauce is a very nice creamy, cheesy, buttery and Garlic heavy cream sauce that goes with any pasta. Definitely a favorite!
Everything Japanese is superior 😆😆😆
Mrs. Eats is correct, tomato soup is really good with rice. Many people enjoy it this way.
Regarding the mango and shrimp achar..... The word Achar is a Hindi word which means pickel in india.
Oh so interesting!! Now I should try it!
Ahh Costco!! I’ve only been there a few times since I’m not a member and it’s far away but I like it. The Alfredo sauce is yummy and easy to make at home too. Just need cream and butter along with the Italian blend of cheese don’t for get to also add black pepper and garlic. But please use a heavy cream since half and half doesn’t work as well. Also the biscuits in you cake are called Lady fingers lol. Kinda strange name for a biscuit lol.
Around 0:40 a "special event" is what those of us who work for CDS (the people that hand out samples in costcos) would also call a "road show". It's basically a longer, more involved version of the normal demos and is meant to draw in more customers than the standard demo.
CDS = Club Demonstration Services and it is a separate company from Costco that has exclusive affiliation with Costco.
Wherever there is a Costco, there's bound to be a CDS team ready to hand out samples and convince you to buy things for 6 hours :)
It's good to know that if I ever decided to move to Japan, I would have a job still 笑
3:07 Those dinner franks are the ones served at the food court.
4:30 I agree. It sounds delicious and it would definitely go well over rice.
10:50 Tteokbokki! I love tteokbokki and cheese and now I want that 笑
PSA: Please, please, please be respectful to your local CDS personnel. You might be a Costco club member but so are we and being a club member doesn't give you the right to be rude or expect samples on your time or get into our personal space or touch our equipment. If there are no samples under the plastic guard, just wait. Don't try to get them while the CDS sales associate is prepping the trays. Trust me. I wouldn't be saying this if it didn't happen often. It happens way too much at my Costco but it's always good to provide a reminder to others anyway. We're still people too and we deserve respect. You haven't payed for the samples we give out so you aren't entitled to them so please do not act in such a manner.
I'm sure it's not the case in Japan or a lot of other places that aren't america but as I said, it doesn't hurt to remind people :) thank you!
Everything is so small in Japan that I never expected a giant Costco to be there. The food looks awesome. I'll have to check it out next time I visit Japan.
Mrs Eats I love your videos! 💕 That tomato bisque looked amazing 😋 . You should try it with grilled cheese.
I'm surprised to see how similar Japan costco looks compared to the us! Makes me realise I haven't seen alot of Japanese markets. It was one of the things I wanted to check out when I was in Japan, but simply had no time and wouldn't know where to look!
Looks absolutely amazing, it's like a paradise for a foodie for me
I just found Mrs. Eats but these videos are so cute and entertaining making me smile
I wonder if there is another YT channel - "Mr Seats" who explains chairs and benches and the like... from ancient tree stumps and boulders used by cave men to the very latest high tech human perching products. (Could be a fun prank video- staring Mrs Eats with an obvious fake moustache and manly man voice.)
🤣
🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔
Write that down, April fools Idea for next year
All the food looked so delicious, my favorite was the tteokbokki too😚nom nom...also i looooove your tengen uzui plushie🥰...
The margarita pizza is FREAKING AMAZING!!! The roast beef is great for the prize.
Price*
Ooooh really?? I should try margarita pizza next time!! Is it better than pepperoni? I think margarita replaced pepperoni pizza so Mr. Eats is sad haha!
@@MrsEats they changed it to Hawaiian pizza 😭 but this is good too
Great video but I was always hoping you would show us the price tag -- especially on the wagyu beef!
Hello from Dubai
I don't know if you get this compliment enough or often enough but here it goes.
Mrs. Eats, your English is very very good. As a non native English speaker myself I find it so refreshing and easy to understand. Also, your humor is just as good. Keeps us waiting each week. Wish you more growth and success.
Side note: Me and 'Mrs.Me' (see what I did there?) went to Japan in 2018. Best trip ever. We loved Japan. I'm biased because I grew up watching anime and playing SNES/PlayStation.
Hope we can visit Japan again. All the best.
Wow! Costco Japan is amazing! That food looks so good!!
The soft serve looked so good 🥲
I wonder if this is the Costco in Kobe? That location has the most amazing view of Akashi Kaikyo bridge from the top of the parking structure!
When I lived in Japan, it was so weird going to Costco. The building, the size of the items, the shopping carts, etc. were all exactly the same as Costco in America, but there was a wonderful seafood corner that the American version lacked.
Does Japan Costco make you pay for membership like the US, Canada & Australia ?
I’m going to the Costco in Tsukuba today! I’ll have to look for some of this.
Wonder how many trips to Costco did it take to film this, even this selection doesn't feel like it's possible to eat everything in the same day.
I find it quite interesting that going to Japanese supermarkets feels more like visiting an attraction park than regular shopping
We can eat a lot haha!! Yes we shot it one day!!
Holy bananas, looks like your channel is named that for a reason 😅
She's called Mrs Eats 🤣
I’m envious of all the great food you have at Costco in Japan!! 👍🏼I would be in heaven if we had that here in the U.S.!! 😍 I am Asian though.😄😋
I just got back from Sapporo for 2 months. If I didn't know tiramisu was Italian, I would think it was Japanese. Almost every place I went to had tiramisu.
Went to Costco too! Felt like home walking in and seeing a giant "USDA Beef" sign from the entrance.
Hey hi.. in India this curry bread looks very close to cutlet or a Dabeli.. it's a snack 😋 In India a curry is in of liquid form. A Dabeli is like a roasted bread which has stuffing inside. A cutlet is a deep fried bread and inside it has a potato stuffing...
staying home today, watching your so down to earth
You Tube channel. Glad to have subscribed😁
That big steak sandwich looked good nom nom nom
Kancho ~~~
So interesting I loved it . I would love to try the steaks from there . Looks so good
from now on i'm calling it alfred sauce 😄 that's the best! ❤️
Alfred sauce taste a little strange!
@@MrsEats i agree, it's not my favorite either but i like tomatoes even less so i get alfred pasta a lot 🤣
You should try to make Alfredo sauce at home. It’s not complicated at all, despite how elegant it may see. Check out Chef Jean-Pierre’s RUclips channel for his recipe. After making it myself, I will never buy it in a jar again… I may not even need to go to an Italian restaurant to have fettuccine Alfredo now that I know how simple it really is to make.
Looks sooo good
I love black thunder. The apple one for Halloweens is my favorite
That chicken tomato bisque looks delicious
Thx for sharing 👌🏻
Would you mind sharing with us how much the A4 Wagyu for Yakiniku was?
In other words weight and price of that package? 🤓
Come to Italy: restaurant do have tiramisù as dessert, it's a classic. And the bitterness of the coffee and the cocoa cleans the palate from the fats of the mascarpone (which in Italy is not actually considered 'cheese', more like an extra heavy cream or simply a 'dairy product'). You are lovely! Baci!
Pork... Hotdogs....!?!?!? What kind of black magic crafted that food? lol :)
ty for the video
Tastes good!!
Achar is something we eat in South Asia, but it is pickled mango and vegetables which we have as a side with meals - kind of like kimchi is for koreans? everything looks great though!
Oooo, I would be visiting Costco for most of my shopping in Japan! First time seeing a beef section in one of your videos 😆 LOL
Japanese Costco has lots of good stuff! You can try the amazing beef!!
Wow, that sandwich looks so good! I might just need to hit up Costco again soon...
The biggest difference in format between Costco in the USA and Japan seems to be the food court. Here, we are limited to pizza, hot dogs, and a chicken wrap. The food court at that Costco is amazing!
Tomato bisque like that over rice would be so good! We do it with curry, why not that!?
I wish our Costco had food like that. I also wish we got more content from Mrs Eats.
Alfred sauce! I love it and I would prolly like that dish as I am a fan of the fishiness.
Alfred sauce is also known as Alfredo sauce. Cream based Italian sauce.
OMG, the Japanese Costco is heaven! 😍 The Hawaiian Costco is good too! My family miss Costco big time, since we moved from Canada to Bulgaria!
Hawaiian Poke is a dish. It is a bowl of rice with protein, vegetables, and sauce on top. I feel like it has gained recent popularity. Pokemoto is my favorite restaurant for this type of dish. It is similar to Chirashi
that '"Toppoki" at 10:50 looks like Korean _Tteokbokki_ / Korean rice cakes
So when i think of south asia what comes to mind is indian subcontinent and achar means is a type of pickle usually in oil. So while that looks like it could be good I am not sure it has actual achar. Also achar is usually a garnish. Also there used to be a sandwich at the subway in Todai's second engineering building that could probably give that roast beef sandwich a run for it's money in terms of the amount of roast beef in the sandwich called the destroyer.
Yes, Costco Japan is amazing! I wish we had those seafood options here in the USA. The Costco food court in my city really reduced its offerings lately. We have nothing as delicious as what you have there. 😔
I see that they're building another costco in kodama city-osaka prefecture. with any luck its closer to where you live. i was debating going to the one in amagasaki but don't have a car so it would be with a big suitcase and the train which isn't fun but i'm getting a hankering for that roast beef sandwich you showed
They all look so delicious...!!!
New episode! Yes!! :D When i go to Japan I will eat alot! oh yes 12:42 That looks so good! O_O
Looks yummy 😋
Watching Mrs. Eats' videos always makes me hungry! I was smart this time though and I ate first, HA! Nice try!
I could plow through that entire garlic steak rice by myself, it looks soooooo good.
Hey Mrs Eats I was wondering is there a Japanese Wal-Mart or Krogers or H-E-B or an IKEA stores there in Japan since Walmart is big everywhere if so would you shows those in next videos if possible it would be really interesting to see??☺️☺️
I miss Japanese mega grocery stores. So much good food!
Okay this lady needs to reach one million subscribers...
Hilarious kawaii ❤ love ya ms.Eats❤🇯🇵💕
I liked this video, just wished you had shown the prices. I was wondering how much that tray of wagu beef was.
My wife and her girl friend went to Tokyo Costco and used her US Costco membership card. They are Japanese citizens. My wife said you speak English very well.
I wish the prices on the food items you discussed were visible.
We would never get those items here in Australia but now you've got me thinking I need to get a Costco membership just to find out what we do have.
Unless you have one close by, or buy a Costco TV, membership is hard to justify.
Try to chat to someone who has a membership first 👍
Sending you both cwtches
(That's hugs in Wales UK 😆)
Thank you so much!!
I recently went to a Costco here in Japan and the electronics are a bit more expensive here than in the states, also the video games are like half the price compared to the US. They also have so many things I missed from the US there like the hotdogs
Congrats on this video. 🤣 I believe John received a permeant ban from filming in Japanese Costco 🤣
Wow, the beef rice with garlic looks fantastic and so does the poke and tiramisu. I'd vote for Japan's Costco over America's. It looks a lot more adventurous.
Sadly I have yet to find anywhere else in the world with curry pan. I found designer versions in the jmsdf shop that were less greasy. Much like curry, I think curry pan is a Jtai creation. Almost every food Japan produces was the best I have found in the world. The Japanese scotch egg was far better than its Scottish equivalent. Probably following on from your mastery of whiskey. Whenever it would show up in my obento, I would taunt my Scottish friends. Your tiramisu reminded me of saizeria and how good it was. Can you go to the cantina in zushi for us and copen local base in kamakura for us.
7:35 that's something straight out of Brazilian cousine lol made me hungry
"Alfred sauce" made me laugh so hard!
😻 i felt hungry watching..
Fermented butter?! Damn i wanna try 😔
Looks good, right??
@@MrsEats it does 😭😭💖💖
🤣
Thanks!
Thank you so much for Super Thanks M. Hu!! It helps to pay for all the Costco food haha!!
Lol. I was Hoping to see more Kit Kat Games. Lol... but yes... i been busy in this sister city of Grand Forks,ND USA to it was Awano but is now kanuma, Japan. So now they just call us The Friendship Cities... im always busy this time of yr. Lol. But towards fall is when i enjoy watch you Mrs Eats and Mr Eats. The comedy is hilarious. ARIGATO GOZAIMASTA
🥳🥳Costco Japan FOOD🥳🥳
Hahaha makes me wish we have Costco in Singapore!
Thanks.
Your English is getting really really good
First comment love you sis. I hope you will forward with your youtube carrier. Take love
Thank you so much 🤗
@@MrsEats Any time. You describe japan so frequent and peaceful that after watching some if your videos japan has become one of my favourite country. Love from Taiwan
Pour some brandy or rum or coffee liqueur over the tieramsu and let it soak and then eat it. It is yummy
9.5/10 lives in my head rent free
No worries mrs eats I also indulge in a bit of ✨ Fantasy shopping✨those baked goods always target my senses and my savings
Yes!! I want to eat everything!! But it's just a fantasy!!!
Hi Mrs Eats! I just found your videos yesterday and subscribed because we really like you. I was super impressed by your decision to eat healthy and exercise. Please - please - DO NOT eat a lot (or any) of food made with Alfredo sauce. Alfredo sauce is BEYOND fattening. Look at any recipe for this sauce - it is fat upon fat upon fat. The calories in one serving of pasta with Alfredo sauce are nearly a day's worth. Cream. Butter. Cheese. Garlic and parsley. Just put the sticks of butter directly onto your hips and save your mouth the work of chewing.
Almost everything goes well with rice
You are sooo intertwining to watch, I even found interest in Japanese foods... There sooo much good stuff there damn 😆😋
Achar means pickle
So tangy and salty flavour
The fishy taste in Alfredo Sauce is probably the parmesan cheese which I have to learn to get used to also.
Mrs Eats! Please PLEASE show the cost of the items next time, I’m super curious to know how expensive these sorts of items are.
My favorite thing to get at Costco in the United States is the rotisserie chicken for $5. It's their number 2 selling item, right behind toilet paper. $5 can't even get you a combo meal at McDonald's anymore, but you can get a 3lb roasted chicken that easily feeds 2 adults and 2 kids.
Its Alfredo sauce for pasta parmesan, crème and garlic
Costco is a very forward-looking company. What I mean by this is that Halloween or Christman items are sold 3-4 months in advance. Also, the US stores have price codes that could indicate the item's price is dramatically reduced (ends in .97) or the product will not be re-stocked (an asterisk next to the price) once the current stock is depleted. Hopefully, you don't see an asterisk next to the water or toilet paper 🙂
Costco is life.
