ok today we're gonna be taking you into a Japanese supermarket to get some
snacks and treats we've got a choice on this road because there's the 7-eleven
which are a little bit like a small supermarket I mean here they call them
7i Holdings but they're still called 7-eleven but that's more of a
convenience store I don't know if you can see up on that building ahead of us
it says Sonny Sonny is a fairly well-known supermarket here in Fukuoka
anyway so we're gonna check out Sonny and see what they have hopefully we'll
be able to film inside there are a lot of rules in Japan we're probably going
to be breaking some of them to show you inside that Japanese supermarket so come
on what are you waiting for now I should say before we go in its Sakura season
that's the cherry blossom season so Michelle and I are gonna be looking for
cherry blossom themed food but while we're in there keep the noise down I
don't want to get into any trouble so mums the word
so strawberries are in season and you'll see that there's a little bits of cherry
blossom or Sakura around the vegetables
so we love the way each individual little piece of fruit is packed here in
Japan quite often makes them very expensive so
we've seen mangoes for sale here that a sixty to a hundred dollars for one mango
is quite crazy so when I don't want these huh but these are got the little
Sakura pink just rice little rice cake now it might be that that's just pink
because it is pink it's a look cat food so this is the pet
pile so little little cans of kitten food 88 yen I know some of you would
like to see prices of other things rather than just snacks so toothbrushes
88 to 188
now I think this is what's gonna say it's baby food but it isn't because it's
here with the honey so you've got about a kilo of honey there for about a little
over ten dollars so about seven dollars us and these little jams or jellies so
they're about 378 and you get tiny little small ones like this around about
$2 or a dollar 40 us in this supermarket in sunny I think this little symbol here
says it's like a home brand so this is sort of Sony's own honey brand so
they're a little bit cheaper pretty much the same as Australia these are about a
dollar a can for plum tomatoes heaps upon heaps of these noodles little pot
noodles they're working out around about a dollar so 70 cents maybe a little bit
over for one and they go up to around about $2 but these are really these are
really good noodles you put the hot water in one side put the lid down and
then there's another little so that lid that opens this side to drain the
noodles off and quite often they have two or three different sources the
nestle a creamer 278 for a bag or to get to 78 or creamer coffee small jars a
gold blend around about 548 yen traditionally though they tend to sell
the coffee's in in bags like this so this is about 320 grams a little over a
pound of coffee and for about 390 that's 358 that's 398
bags of rice 1780 yen for probably about a 5 kilo bag so that's a 10 pound bag of
rice for about 20 dollars so about 16 us how much ours found there the sweetie
I'll candies they look cool is that particular is that particular or just
just it looks fun so how much are these the little cap cleco giant Coleco so it
looks like an ice cream cone but I think it's got little treats inside so we go
with one of those what is that one Michelle is equal Sakura thought that
was Sakura but it's pink but these are the little ruby but it seems to have
some little bits on it like would you say that is cranberries maybe
cranberries and almonds okay we'll take one of those but not much more yet a big
packet of 248 this is a raspberry KitKat but Michelle and I we've decided to go
with these little ones they seem to be sort of almond and possibly cranberry
balls little KitKat balls and plus it's Ruby chocolate which you know from my
Ruby chocolate kick out video before this is just not as sweet but in a
really nice way I really like that so we'll see what it's like here in Japan
probably gonna have to go with some Pocky matcha tea Pocky Michelle's not
keen on the matcha tea stuff but you know we're in Japan you've got to have
it really so that's 128 yen it's about I put the price up on the screen you have
to remember here in Japan when you buy something on the shelf the price is that
they're actually showing a plus tax so they add a little bit of text on I think
they do that in the US as well but many countries in the world do that so the
price you see is plus tax something here I've noticed is they have Asda
fruit in that chocolate and dark chocolate
Asda is a British supermarket chain as far as I know so I don't know what the
connection is maybe someone in the comments can let us know why is there as
the products in a Japanese supermarket now these here so you get even buy two
for 280 158 each so that's 316 or if you've been taught them individually
there be 316 so you can buy a mixture these are leafy there's sort of a little
bit like a flakey pastry shortcrust pastry with some chocolate so I might
get a little combination now these ones here these are some of my favourite but
this is too much like a German cookie really they would be nice oh yeah I'll
get some of these just for us later tonight so I'm going to get a
combination of these ones and the leafies they're actually for the taste
test so this is got cherry blossom this is a potato chip it looks like the
potato chips have a little pink black on them are they going in the back we're
doing all right only I have no idea what we're buying
but we're doing all right we struggled so much in Korea to find
things I think we may have to rethink our game as far as snacks a concern but
we're looking for snacks like chocolates and things like that there's a lot more
of this sort of seaweed and hmm because the the candy aisle was so small it
turned out there was more non sweet things than there were sweet things but
here is a much bigger selection now these I don't need to call do you know
the name of these but they're very traditional for broken or poor Japanese
snack they have like a sort of honey coating
on them with sesame seeds or peanuts I'll explain to you but we'll take these
for a taste test so I can explain as I'm eating them
how we do Michelle what are we're up to seven seven we're gonna we're gonna go
up to about ten snacks and then maybe get a drink or two started to get some
strange looks so we might get into trouble yet we might get thrown out for
filming hopefully not let's find some drinks now
we've got the usual Coca Cola's Pepsi's all the different ones but here we've
got what I think is a local Cola that's a little it's a little more expensive
than regular coke so it's Kirin Mets Cola it's around
about something about a dollar ninety eight cents now does that zero mean
there's no sugar in it well that's a bit of a bummer because that's that looks
like a diet coke as a zero coke and I hate those sort of saccharine tastes
replacement coders so the Mets Cola is going back I'll find another drink
ever since they bought in this sort of zero and low sugar cokes and things
they've added all these horrible sort of chemical sweeteners in these drinks and
I just don't like them now here is something that's definitely this is a
whoops wrong wrong door this is an Asahi so it's a local beer all done up we're
done up with the beautiful cherry blossom so I'm definitely going to get a
can of this you can certainly enjoy this out in like my picnic there's only one
can left as well obviously very popular because it is full swing cherry blossom
season okay it's not cherry blossom but
Michelle's going with this delicious-looking strawberry milk so pop
that in there picked our snacks I'm gonna take you
around the supermarket just a little bit more and show you what else when we
first came there's all these different milks so many different milks now this
is our regular full-fat sort of cow's milk what the rest of these are I have
no idea we just we just worked out what we needed this milk here for Michelle
and I but there's loads of cool milks and then there's all these coffee drinks
so the usual sort of things I mean that looks like it's a Starbucks but Mountain
Reiner's Aranea we've got all the all the different sort of flavored milks and
yogurt or yogurt section over here you've got this sort of little snack
area so for about a dollar to fifty cents you can get little fish cakes
little potato cakes I'm really not sure what all these are maybe we have tried
most than they do taste very similar you've got the little spicy sausages
little hot dogs on a stick and you can just grab yourself a tray or pop them
straight into the little containers there and we talked about the bento
boxes you can see they've got a whole selection of bento boxes here you can
pretty much pick any of these that usually got some rice some meat noodles
maybe a little bit of spiced vegetables or vegetables or pickled vegetables
they've often got a bit of a sort of tofu fish eggs this one's got a little
bit of smoked fish in it maybe some tofu some vegetables what I'm going to
actually do is I'm going to come and grab we're not gonna have this taste
test today probably tomorrow in the part with a beautiful cherry blossom I'll
come by the supermarket we grab a pretty little bento box on the day so we got it
nice and fresh you've got your onigiri all different fillings onigiri with red
bean fillings mackerel fillings miss all sorts of things they're all about
between 85 and 98 cents so that's around about a dollar each the use of sort of
cold sandwiches and with the bento boxes you just eat them at room temperature
you don't actually have to eat them up most of the breads here are quite sweet
compared to what we used to but what's quite interesting is these the loafs so
they have different loaves of bread they're all about the same price so here
they're all 78 cents but you can see this one has five one two three four
just five slices this one here also has five this one has six slices so it's
slightly thinner core so there's only four slices of bread look at the bed
like doorsteps so although all the breads are the same
price they're just buried on the thickness of
a slice but most of them are pretty thick by our standards a lot of thick of
them than what we used to in Australia don't know what you what you used to
where you are so comment down below let me know what you think I'm not sure what
these are maybe somebody could tell me if you mention them in the comments
maybe we can try them I'm not going to just buy them today because I'm not a
hundred cent sure what they are they look to be about 84 so about a dollar
look what nice quite heavy eggs are around about couple of dollars maybe
about a dollar for the u.s. for a dozen what is amazing is there the Kewpie
mayonnaise look 168 two dollars for a big QP now that in in Australia QP that
sort of size in Australia would probably be closer to $10
another thing that interests me lots and lots of these little microwave packets
now inside here there's a little sachet of sort of spicy curry sauce and it's
just a go with your rice you buy and actually buy little pouches of cooked
rice here and you can microwave and just pour this on top we probably should do a
little video on this at some time comment down below if you'd like me to
do that and some of these these are like precooked rice in a little sachet and
that's alongside all the different the pot noodles so I think we're actually um
we're just about there we've got some drinked we've got lots of
cool snacks if I think of anything else I might pop in 7-eleven and just see if
there's any sort of candy bars just to go with this we definitely get the bento
box tomorrow on the way to the park join Michelle and I in the park for a picnic
under the cherry blossom with all these lovely Japanese snacks
