I like this style of video. No commentary - just enjoying seeing everything.
I like that there's no music, too. You get the real experience of it all.
agreed

Costco should have an international store where u can buy stuff from other countries!
I like that idea.
Someone did. It’s called Amazon. Then you noticed the products were made in China.
I wish :( china when it comes to capitalism, some their stores actually have tons of goods from ALL places of the world, which is awesome.
Yes not sure if one is in the UK
I didn’t see much in the video that I thought “why can’t we get that in the U.K” but I can see your point, even though my local Costco has a lot of items from around the world there are definitely things that I came across on my travels on holiday and work that it would be nice to get at home, don’t know if it would work financially or if the prices would have to be high to make it viable. I know you can get a lot of items from overseas on eBay and Amazon but I do like to actually see things before I buy them sometimes and you can’t buy perishable or customs restricted items because (obviously) pers hi lets goods perish, and customs restricted means either getting an import license or breaking the law. Good idea Koco Sassa.
As a costcophile this is super interesting. It is like most Costcos I've been to, but with Japanese painted onto it. So many right angles, very clean. the floor is in good condition and the pallets are not blemished. Super organized. Well done Japan.
That’s just Japan in a nutshell.😁💗🇦🇺
There is something comforting about Costco when you put it that way
Costco! In Japanese!! 🗾 😃
Super organized and very clean.....that's very Japanese!
every costco looks the same bro ...
I have worked for Costco for 21+ years and I still get excited when I see the items that we carry all over the world! So much fun (and delicious)!
Me 31 years...since 1991 (Canada-'Québec-Lévis)
You two are so long
@@LeDouxCalin Do you find Costco a good employer?
@@stinkletoes8285... As I have worked for them for 31 years, yes Costco is a very good employer but as for marriage after so many years nothing is perfect ...
@@LeDouxCalin Thanks for reply..
Your Costco is so much quieter than in the United States. 😁
I think their only allowed one child per family.
So much quieter than in Canada too. Wow.
@@susanhendrix8701 your thinking of China.
Susan Hendrix not true of japan at all
A lot less busy, too. Here, we get pushed around. The parking is Hell.
I’m so jealous you can buy Japanese food in Costco size!
Mihoko you read my mind! 🤤
For anyone interested enough in Costco to watch a Costco video.... go to Costco in other countries.
Your membership card works!
The seafood pizza by the slice at the Taipei Costco is very good.
The Kettle chips are excellent. Try the sea salt and vinegar variety.
I prefer just the plain sea salt, but I agree: They're fantastic.
I LOVE the brand😍💞😍
I travelled to Japan twice a year between 1975 and 1994; then returned in 2013 for a nostalgic reunion with this beautiful country. My 2 nephews taught English for 2 years in Osaka and they too appreciated the Japanese heritage of our family. The COSTCO store and its merchandise were arranged in meticulously and aesthetically pleasing displays. Hopefully ... I can make another trip once the restrictions for COVID-19 are lifted. Thank you Satoshi for a wonderful shopping experience.
Thanks for not adding annoying background music 💜
Would love to see what a Japanese Ikea looks like! 😎
Deborah Chick.....What a great idea!!!!!
I love this suggestion! I third that motion your honor!!!!
Its pretty much the same thing just a bit small and cleaner. lol
This is Not an IKEA in Japan.
@@IheaWs98 She was answering a question from the end of the video.
It actually looks the same, that's the crazy part to me
I'm from the USA. And went to el salvador and for whatever reason...when I went to the grover store I was surprised that it was the same....like yeah...its a grocery
Same
Except for the lack of horrendously obese people, or people who haven't been taught the purpose of clothing.
Fr it looks the same from where I go
@@zaarkhananal7165 Meow listen here, fat shaming is bad meowadays. Without the mini-planets we'd have too few things to complain about.
So this is where quarantine brings me today. I thoroughly enjoyed this, as I have the rest of my Deep RUclips travels.
Thank you so mush for the video. I work with costco 25 years now and it was super fun to see your warehouse. I wish we share more product between country. The patatoes chip. And pop corner are good product big seller in canada. That bag of chip is replace with an Himalayan salt chip mush better white bag. Still Kirkland product. I saw you purple Mayan onion chip in your basket I wish we had those back here they are one of my favorite. One of my old warehouse director is in Japan running a costco. Cheers and thanks again. Yes for IKEA. Jose in kingston, Ontario, canada
Children screaming in Japan sound the exact same as children screaming in the US :D
i wonder what children screaming in France sounds like.
And here in New Zealand...lol..Laurie
Wow you are so blessed to have Costco at all with all that wonderful variety of products. Happy you.
I can’t believe that it looks just like Costco in every way except the products are different... I want to go to this alternate universe Costco
My sister lived in Japan for a few years and went to Costco all the time! We have them here in Oregon too, but the ones in Japan are nicer. She liked to eat their prepared foods, and sometimes if she was bored she'd go there just to eat all the free samples, lol.
I love Costco's food court, you dont even need to be a member, i've fed my family from there a few times when we were really broke
A lot of items similar here in Australia. Like the giant unicorn float. That beef rice & garlic shrimp looked nice, we don’t get those. But we do get the giant pizzas you can’t fit in your oven. And the crying babies & running children seem pretty universal too. I was pleased to see you got an icecream, those and a hotdog are mandatory 😄
I love watching this kind of content because I feel like I’m walking around with the person but also getting to see everything they see without much interruption.
I wish Costco in U.S. sells what is sold in Japan. You have so many things that I would love to buy.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The average American cant even cook.
me too i love costco japan
Depending on where live they might, but if there isnt a market for those things in your area, maybe this is your chance to showcase it to everyone you know and everyone else?
I agree, wish they have these things in the US Costco
@@dylpicko I wonder if we could do online orders? Haven't checked yet!
Lol not even Japan is immune to the presence of the noisy shopping cart 😹
Soo true!!! 🤣
That's Costco, for ya. 😂
Given the larger quantities and sizes of Costco goods and the relatively small homes/apartments, do most Japanese have difficulty storing what they buy?
I am curios about this as well 🤔
I had wondered this myself when I first started going to Costco in Japan. I've seen what looks like groups of friends (3 or 4 women) shopping together and what I assume is splitting the cost and goods later. I just did a quick search and there are blog posts and websites that explain rules and etiquettes in Japanese as well.
Ah good old Costo. Doesn't matter where in the world you are, this is like coming home! Everything's so familiar feeling!
*laughs in british*
Yes! That pop corner chip is delicious! You should definitely buy it next time.
The kettle chips are good too. Like Ms Vickies. Oily and salty though
Hilarious to me that the front of their store still says shit like “USDA choice beef”
Same at first till I remembered unlike the US, most of Asia is very mountainous. Hence why beef was a delicacy in places like Korea & Japan right up until about 70 years or so
@@AnthonyTrifoglio But I thought east Asian territories e.g. Taiwan/ROC, Japan have traditionally opposed USA beef imports due to their greater injection of hormones
Much larger menu at this Costco’s food court than in my store! Loving the variety there
I love how the typical Costco experience translates all over the world. Start out small and before you know it you're creeping up on over $200. Still, a lot of great values to be found here, even by Japanese standards. Great video!
Wow, wow, wow! I wish Hawaii's Costco had all of those super-sized Japanese products for sale! Satoshi, that's my most favorite chip flavor too! Great video Shinichi!
It was fun to see what Costco is like in Japan. It's not fair; you have better food there too. I heard that the seaweed salad is more of a Japanese-American invention. Not sure if it’s true though.
Ha, my dad loves their food court so much. The last time I visited my parents, my dad asked my mom to pick up a hotdog for him. She was so annoyed that she yelled, “No, you have obento at home!” That totally cracked me up.
Yes, I'd love to see the IKEA. Thanks for the fun videos!
Yes seaweed salad is something we don’t usually eat here. In fact the one they sell there are from Korea
I love that they sell the unicorn floaty there and in the US 😂😂
Pretty sure it’s because they sell some products from Costco in US
Once I asked my dad for the pool floaty and he said no cause we dont have a pool
@@atomstarfireproductions8695 yeah I figured it's just funny to see almost the exact same set up, I've noticed at least, that stores tend to change up product depending on regions. funny that everyone wants floaties though!
@@lyraejackson1700 😂 I can imagine just chilling in your living room with it
Well first off I want to say that I'm express with this Cosco!! Alot of the product we sell here in the states!! Seems to be also carried over there!! The store was extremely clean and getting around was convenient!! Overall I think this is a Great Video!! Thanks 4 Sharing and yes I would love to see IKEA in Japan!!🇺🇸 :) 🇺🇸
WOW, that was fun. I haven't been able to shop in a store for quite a while, and it was SO much fun looking at all the items. Even the sound of cart wheels was nostalgic. LOL. Plus, I NEED that Unicorn Party Island now! Hahaha! Yes, MORE shopping, please!
Thank you for sharing what it’s like shopping at Costco japan!
Okay, Japanese Costco tops every other Costco. Their food selection is amazing! Australian Costco is nothing compared to this. I wish I could buy fresh seaweed at Costco, and the vegetable selection is incredible, as well as the prepared meals.
I am pleasantly addicted to your series. It is the everyday that fascinates me.
Same here!
Thank you for posting your Costco. Yes, it was nicely stocked, neater, and quieter. I wish we had some of your products on this side of the Pacific in the USA. Keeping enjoying your Costco.
Large selections of everything is a great way to keep customers coming back. You showing this video made me 100% hungry at that mango ice Brother. If someone tried to take that from me, they'd get a beat down. Great choices on all the stuff you purchased. My ex would be putting stuff back on the shelf. 😠 Thanks for taking us along and can't wait to see the Ikea trip. I know you're going to do it.😉🛒🛍️🥢🤗😘 Oh yeah, I always get the squeaky cart.
I've been seeing you guys from TabiEats for years and I was so surprised when I saw Satoshi in the video 😂 I didn't know you guys had this other channel!
Welcome! Thanks for your support
The people seem nice & so friendly to b around ...they know how to act & respect themselves
Your Costco has way more prepared foods than my local one. The Bulgogi and the beef Rice look delicious and that 50pc of sushi for that price is a bargain!
This was really relaxing. Anyone else get ASMR vibes?
I found this interesting! Thank you! I saw many of the same things we have. Food saver, Cheerios , kettle corn. I’d like the bag of Miso and the green juice please😀. Ps. I’d love a mango soft serve!
So cool to see the differences in products from our Costco in San Francisco ! Thank your for sharing!!
The sounds are calming to me I’m about to fall asleep .
Kids crying giving me PTSD. Shopping with my kids at Costco is not so fun. 😬
Aside from the shopping cart and the babys crying I see what you mean😂
m4r2no ☺️
That's nice. My child wants to visit Japan and I've been very curious about the country. Thank you for showing us around.💜
I really like the video, it is very infomative, close up to the goods wanted to show, not too noisy.......happy new year 2021
I'm from Mexico City, and the Costco looks like the same as here, we have almost 30 Costco's Nationwide, the merchandise looks similar, brands like Kirkland and others also sale here plus the Mexican and American mix, thanks for sharing, we also have IKEA too, and I really want to see it too. Thanks
I'm also from Mexico City and I never seen an Ikea, there's no one here in Mexico yet.
I've been to Costco in Mexico. They look very similar to the USA. But it feels more upscale. The eating area was much cleaner and inside. And somebody helped me load my car.
Yes please to IKEA! Particularly the café, kitchen utensils and the food shop if they have one (they call the food shop the Sweden shop in the U.K.) 😀
I'm American. I love Costco! Its funny how the store there looks like the one in my neighborhood. The prices are amazing, but I don't shop there since I live alone. The hot dogs and pizza in the Cafe are phenomenal!! I was so excited to see you guys have them there as well.
I work at Costco, just had my 5 year anniversary last month, and I loved watching this! I went to one in Chiba, Japan, two years ago, and it was such an amazing experience. A lot more for sale than the warehouse I work at. XD
Hawaiin Sweet Maui Onion chips are my favourite too!! So Yummy!!!
Not all Japanese CostCos are this quiet though. The one near me is super busy. But I've only ever gone during the weekend. This was probably filmed on a weekday.
We lived in Tokorozawa in 2015 and 2016 and went to this Costco about once every two months. Thanks for the video, it brought back great memories.
I've never heard anyone whisper in a Costco before.
Well, I guess that's the point lol
Hi Sinichi. I heard you say that you & Satoshi were in the first round of lottery tickets for the Olympics. Just to let you know that since you were in the first round. They are having a second drawing for unsold tickets to the Olympics. You and Satoshi are automatically in the second round for tickets. I saw this on NHK news a day or two ago.
Also, would you consider adding a segment at the end where we get to see your entire Costco haul?! :)
Sure let me plan something like that in the future
@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood Yay! Mahalo!
That's it, I'm moving to Japan.
Can I have your stuff?
6:02 - Tack on one more to the "yes, Popcorners are delicious" comments -- that flavor in particular is one I always pick up while buying snacks. :)
Interesting they have some items from the US like those chips Satoshi likes. To bad we couldn't see more of the Japanese type foods they sell or did I miss it? I would love to go back! 👍💜
Your food options are so much better than here in Los Angeles 😓 I want that mango soft serve 🍦
Dr. Simple Beauty 300 Yo, you guys in Los Angeles have more than us, in the San Bernardino county. I know, because I work for Costco Distribution in Mira Loma. 😂
Japanese customers aren’t satisfied with Japanese Costco because they sell so many Asian things and a little American and European things.
3 name changes allowed every 90 days. Learn more. I live in Colton close to San Bernardino yaay 😀
はけいちん so the Japanese want more western products?
Ha, they took the street taco plate. 🤣🥰
This is a grocery shopper's heaven for me!
Popcorners are one of my favourite snacks! Light, crispy and salty.
Love this style of video. Low key, yet informative and fun. Also adding to the pile of, "Yes please for an IKEA video!"
Awesome! Thanks for this video! It was really cool to see the different products :D
Why everything in Japan seems cooler 🤩
It's funny to see some things that are so familiar and then things so Japanese. I could definitely enjoy shopping there.
Pop corner is delicious! Especially that kettle corn flavor. You should definitely try it!
I want some of that beef garlic rice in America
With such easy access to so much fresh food I can't imagine why most Japanese would need a Costco. They sure seem to love it though lol
I am a big TABIEATS fan and got so happy to have found your other channels! thank you for making these videos! they make my day!
I love your car at the end! For such a small vehicle it seems like there was loads of storage!
idk why but I really enjoyed this kind of quiet vlog. There was something relaxing about it. I liked the crinkling sounds of the bags you'd pick up. lol 😊
Kettle corn flavor Pop Corners are so YUM!! I find them irresistible.
They're food court selections looks delicious. Wish they have the same here in Costco Canada.
and in Costco USA
The food court in itself is worth a trip to a Japanese Costco!! 🥰 Great video and I'm glad they let you film inside ... 😎
The sea salt kettle chips are SO addictive!! And the Pop chips are good too, my favorite are the cheese flavored ones!
Love seeing what food and snacks the japan stores have :)
Thank you for giving your time to create this video. I really enjoyed it and it was great how you converted the yen into dollars. Once again thank you.
Kettle brand potato chips are excellent! Super crunchy and really good flavors. My favorite flavor is the jalepeno one.
Agreed on Kettle brand. The Krinkle cut Dill Pickle flavor is my absolute favorite flavor, but it's difficult to find around where I live. My girlfriend travels to a store 30 minutes away just to get them for me.
My dream is to visit as many Costcos in my life as I can. I love Costco.
So orderly, clean and relaxing! I need to visit Costco in Japan!! Here in Canada it's a mad house on any given day, and forget Christmas time! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
It's very similar to the Costcos I've been to in Seattle, WA. Even the packaging and store layout is the same! I wish we had more Japanese snacks like wakame and rice puffs, they tend to be healthier than American-style snacks.
There’s a Japanese snack box that is delivered every month. All the snacks are authentic, I’ll get the name of it if ur interested. I don’t like seaweed candy or shrimp flavored rice puffs, but u might. The box’s are really nice and the decorations on it make cool storage box’s. ✌️
I think screaming, crying children is a global trait of every Costco.
Anita Fabian actually haven’t heard any kids at the 2 locations that I’ve been to in the states. Albeit they have an older demographic
Thank you for taking us on this CostCo trip. CostCo looks quite similar in Minnesota! And this was a good view of your shopping.
ARIGATO
revisiting this GEM, thank you for the authentic experience KING
I think..Japanese life quality are the best in the world..LOVE from Thailand
It's fun to see Costco in Japan! I go to Costco once in awhile here with my friends, mostly just to look around, but it's always interesting! Some of the items you have there are the same things we have here, and then some things are more Japanese (and they look wonderful). You asked about the Kettle potato chips. They are very popular here. Most of my friends love them! They have a very good potato flavor, and are nice and crunchy. They are a little thicker than some potato chips. If you go there again, it is worth trying them. Thanks for the video!
Omg that bag of miso soup! 😩🤤🤤🤤
When i saw the gargantuan radish, i had to stop the video and give it a thumbs up !!
Omg I love this video! Costco is my happy place and I love seeing what they offer in Japan. That beef garlic rice and the sushi trays! Wow! And why isn't mango soft serve a global offering? I would go just to get that!
Yes please for the IKEA video! We're moving to Japan soon and I wanna see what they have 😊
Go to Nitori, it's the Japanese IKEA.
I'm pretty sure IKEA has the same stuff in all its stores worldwide
It looks pretty much the same
OMG that sushi box😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Canadian Costco should have it too😭😭😭
the street tacos look so good! ill be moving to japan soon, i know im gonna miss food from my home state of california 😆 glad to know there will be options for me to taste some foreign food❤️
I love seeing American products in places outside of America. It's like seeing a childhood friend at random somewhere far from home. While we don't have Costco where I live (Arkansas is the home state of Sam's Club, so that's our big-box store), it's fun to see how the concept translates to another culture-- some things just don't change! 🙂
That was so cool to see what Japan's Costco had compared to U.S. I think more healthy choices. I enjoyed this. And may I say, your car is so cute. ❤
I love boxy little Japanese cars too!
Love the deli dept with all Japanese food . Hope they have a section like that in a Costco near San Francisco. Thx for sharing
You could do a whole episode on the Costco and Ikea food courts!
Wow it’s so quiet! Our Costco here in California is so loud! Not just people talking loudly but also forklifts beeping and carts and kids screaming.
I've always wondered how Costco Japan would be like. Thank you for the video.
