have you guys ever wondered how
expensive it is in japan well in this
video i'm going to show you how
expensive it is to buy groceries in
japan by comparing
the tokyo supermarkets versus the
countryside supermarkets
often people say that it's cheaper to
live in the countryside in japan
when compared to the city so today i'm
going to take you guys in this
countryside supermarket and i'm going to
pick out some regular day items that you
would normally buy when grocery shopping
and i'm going to compare those items
with the ones in a tokyo supermarket all
right let's go inside
alright so let's start with the
vegetables
[Music]
please
[Music]
price of vegetables depends on the
product but overall i would say the
countryside has slightly better pricing
just look at all the selection behind me
[Music]
and you won't find fresh fish like this
in a tokyo supermarket
[Music]
so i noticed a greater difference in
price in the protein section
fresh meat and fish are definitely
cheaper in the countryside sashimi was
hard to judge since the countryside
offers large family packs where tokyo
offers smaller individual packs
all in all though the countryside has a
better value
[Music]
so everything else was cheaper in the
countryside except the rice but there's
not a huge difference so it's true that
the groceries are slightly cheaper in
the countryside
especially when it comes to the meat and
fish in general though
the number of members in a countryside
household are more than in the city thus
countryside supermarkets offer more
value pack items which helps lower the
overall cost
if you were in japan where would you
live right so that concludes our video
