Mrs Eats is both stylish and chic as well as hilarious and relatable. Love her.

[@ferdithetank7535]

Turning rotisserie chicken into basically soup is actually genius. Saves a lot of time on cooking and can feed a whole family. Very practical.

[@wormfood83]

We always turn it into soup, not quite like that though. Usually just boil the bones with some other stuff to make a stock, then add in some veggies and the leftover meat and you got chicken soup.

[@d.sack2727]

My mom has done that before

[@Laura-mi3nv]

Plenty of people in the States buy those chickens to use in other recipes as well, so its not all that odd to see you throw one in a hot pot like that. That actually looks amazing.

[@alexcarter8807]

Chicken salad!

[@Gavriel-og6jv]

Notice how while talking to the camera in Costco, Mrs Eats respectfully lowers her voice to not bother other people. I love that. Here in the US any random KZbinr would be talking all loud, to attract attention, as if they thought of themselves "we are Hollywood stars".

[@coolbrotherf127]

Japan seems to love their sandwiches. They have created so many unique ones that can't be found anywhere else.

[@MrsEats]

Yes Japan really enjoy unique sandwich! But sometime Mr. Eats says he just want a normal American sandwich haha!

[@kurtisharen]

@@MrsEats We need to send the poor man some pastrami or something! I'm kind of curious now if there's anything he misses that isn't easily found in Japan. I know ranch dressing isn't easily found outside of the USA, for instance.

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

Yep, Japan loves THEIR sandwiches, but they don’t love good sandwiches… 😂😢😅😢😢😢😢

[@moisesarellano9205]

I wonder if you can find birote or telera in Japan to make Mexican style tortas

[@Albert-Arthur-Wison225]

Not at all. Countries throughout Europe and Australia ( I cannot attest to North America) offer FAR more delicious, healthier, and fresher options for sandwiches ! From rye to multigrain to Turkish breads, to far fresher, bigger ranges of veggies & meats, without ANY of the awful sweet, sugar - soaked goop that the Japanese love to encase in vacuumed plastic packaging ! No beetroot, no carrot, no Swiss cheese! The list goes on ! And the ‘bread’ they eat ! As soft as cream ! Fit for kiddies ! And DREADFULLY sweet ! Btw, octopus is NOT AT ALL limited to ‘ Japanese food ‘ ! You obviously know NOTHING about food in Greece, Dalmatia, Liguria, or much of the Mediterranean ! Sigh….i really shouldn’t watch this channel ! The arrogance & presumptions are simply colossal ! Still, ignorance is obviously bliss, isn’t it ?…😂

[@tomcavanaugh5237]

Can't we all just agree, that no matter where you find a Costco, it's a wonderful and magical place.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

Costco is a world of it's own

[@ferdithetank7535]

True, going to megamarkets like those is similar to visiting another city or country.

[@aimdrifter7440]

I love octopus AND I live in Puerto Rico where there’s a pizza joint that sells octopus as a topping. I order it frequently… I often think I’m the only one that orders it.

[@bigfootpart4therevengeancing]

That does sound interesting, really. How is the Octopus prepared? Fried like Calamari or grilled?

[@aimdrifter7440]

@@bigfootpart4therevengeancing I think it's grilled before they put it on the pizza.

[@bigfootpart4therevengeancing]

@@aimdrifter7440 That sounds delicious.

[@aniE1869]

One of those muffins is already so filling. I couldn't imagine adding more to it.

[@geminidawn7315]

The Hot Pot and Tiramisu would be great for a dinner party! They don't sell Octopus at Costco where I live in America but I've eaten it in restaurants and it taste good even though it's a bit chewy.

[@thetrainhopper8992]

I always ate the combo pizza at Costco when I went with my parents in high school. It went away sometime in the last 10 years. I also like the chicken bake.

[@amvstarter]

Oh wow, very surprised to see Lithuanian beer in Japan! 3:22 Volfas Engelman, it's really good! Please try it next time you're at Costco, Mr. and Mrs. Eats! Love from Lithuania

[@jee2001]

Would love to have octopuse at our costco.... made once at home; it reeks, but it was so tasty grilled.

[@night_ethereal]

Rotisserie chicken breast shredded and mixed with a little kewpie mayo, spring onion (green onion) and toasted sesame seed is delicious, I put the mixture on fresh crusty bread or sushi seasoned rice

[@cannibalvegetableyt]

Something I did with Otis Spunkmeyer blueberry muffins that might be fun and is similar: slice the muffin into half inch slices, toast in a pan with a little butter, spread on a thin layer of lemon curd, then a slightly thicker layer of clotted cream/cream cheese, top with sliced fruit, and nom

[@johnsonhsiao_orz]

It's good to see you introduce Japan Costco again🎉🎉🎉, hope one day I can see you introduce Taiwan Costco.

[@karriek.3429]

Ok, I'm sold on the rotisserie chicken hot pot 😂 I would never think to do that!! It looks yummy though and I bet my husband will be happy when I surprise him with a WHOLE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN in the hot pot 😂

[@johnnygrind77]

Hello, Eats Family! Thank you for all the videos and hours of laughs. I found you youtube channel the other day and I shared videos with my friend who is living in Fukuoka. We ❤ all the potty humor and laugh so hard! I also just ordered some FAKKIN merch! Sorry if this message is a bit long or all over the place, I just wanted to show my appreciation for you and your content. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu ! 👹👺🗾

[@aluminumfalcon552]

I found a wonderful Japanese item in my US costco, Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce. I will literally put it on anything, it is soo good. I find it interesting that aside from being filled with Japanese people and lots of Japanese products everything else about Costco is identical to anywhere else. The building, the shelves, the layout, the signs etc.

[@lar41381]

"But it looks like S & M Party. It should have a whole bodysuit." I knew I subscribed to you for a reason, Mrs. Eats. 😉😊

[@admiralyamato299]

I really liked this video Japan has so many choices of food to choose from I want to try them all but I wouldn't know where to start.

[@frenchfrylover7523]

After a long day of yard work and a bon fire nice to relax and see Japanese store 😚😚😚

Where I live, you can also get whole cow tongue or a minced and spiced version of cow tongue, which is cooked and eaten as a spicy breakfast sausage called "Chorizo"

[@MrsEats]

Oh it sound so good!! I want to try it!!

[@tropicalbeach9225]

Mrs. Eats loving the channel and videos. always enjoy seeing you exploring and or cooking. Both you and the food are beautiful! keep up the great work!😍

[@georgewachsmuth9201]

Absolutely love your channel !

[@Albert-Arthur-Wison225]

Goodness gracious, I have to congratulate you, madam ! I do believe that I’ve NEVER heard anyone else in my entire life who either says the word ‘ Japanese ‘ quite so often, nor, seems to be quite so obsessed with the very notion of being Japanese, taking about any & everything said to be ‘ Japanese ‘ , and so forth. Surely the government of Japan should be offering you some sort of official endorsement or sponsorship !!!

[@viviansytsui]

I really like that Japanese Costco Encyclopedia, Mrs. Eats!! How do we get our hands on one? It looks super useful.

[@hoodedneko]

Don't have a Costco here which is sad. But those muffins are massive!! It's a meal in itself and then more lol

[@kanexiong3827]

japanese costco is so cool. way better than all the stores here. also HELLO~

[@teeKeri]

Ohhh ! That combo pizza ! yum 😍

I've seen the clothes steamer in my local Costco (Michigan) I just couldn't justify spending ~700$ (it's been a while I don't remember?) even after the combo deal with my washer and dryer.

[@MrsEats]

Oh so cool!! Yes it's very useful but very expensive!!

[@cottoncandykawaii2673]

it seems useful for people who have to wear suits to work everyday,

[@gottagift]

love the backpack

[@yugioht42]

That sandwich in bread idea is a take on coffin bread. The Vietnamese way to hollow out a loaf of bread and stuff it with something. It’s the Japanese way to use something. Yeah the coffin bread name isn’t great but it comes from how it looks without the lid. But in actuality it’s a take on the old French toast thing where old bread is used in some way to avoid waste. You should see this one Costco in Oregon somewhere as it has a freezer section of whole animals. Very few people even know what to do with that but whole animal roasting is a thing. Unusually large amounts of Wagyu beef has been coming in lately but it’s American Wagyu from California and Texas.

[@terubokmasin3247]

That facehugger looks so fresh! I'm a little upset with you right now, Mrs Eats. It's 11:30pm here and watching this video makes me hungry.

[@agamersinsanity]

A sandwich in a sandwich 🤔 Japan sure has some unique food. I'm living in the wrong country 😂

We have the majority of those things at our Costco here in the USA. The only things ours does NOT have is the whol/half octopus, and the steam cleaner closet.

[@boardcertifiable]

My local Costco here in the US has the steam cleaner closet. No octopus though😢

[@Minoujill24]

It's commun in Canada too...Peoples buy whole cooked chicken and do all kind of others things with it! It save a lot of time! But most of the things Japan Costco have, we have it too!

[@gamelover2222]

Mrs Eats is wearing such a lovely outfit today!

[@mofrakker]

Always love your vids! Wish you had a TV show. If only I could bring some stuff over here to Mexico. I wonder how the clothes steam box works if you have a small apartment (like many do in Japan)? Unless you can put other stuff inside between cleanings.

[@geralt7144]

The question is, can you buy the full gimp suit at Costco too? 😆

[@fernandod4046]

I would love to see sushi and sashimi in my costco

Hi, I’m in USA 🇺🇸 Missouri. My mom cooked beef tongue a lot when I was little. We are starting to get Wagu beef here in the US too.

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

I wonder if costco membership is international?

[@MrsEats]

Good question!

[@user-tm2tl6qp7n]

bread bowl or the sandwich bowl was an italian american invention originally it was only used as sup bowls

[@miyosu20022002]

American Costco food court had done away with the onions and deli mustard for the dogs, the bun is smaller with the dog sticking out at both ends and with no sesame seeds, and the pizza has changed in preparation. Plus they only have cheese and pepperoni pizza available. And there are less items on the board like no more cheese burgers.

[@Willow_508_]

I want a Cosco here in South Australia. Need one. Id even travel to Adelaide to shop ..

Always a joy to see your videos! When I was young my mom would buy cow tongue and would wake us up by hitting us in the face with the tongue, langua in Spanish, and would chase us around the house trying to "lick" us with it. From Texas.

[@NouvelleZelande900]

Oh, the world's most intelligent animal in cling wrap, how APPETISING

[@markhollas7585]

Take the chicken, break it down, use the meat and skin in the hotpot (maybe half the skin plus half the oil from the bottom of the tray) then use the remaining bones and oils to make a really nice chicken broth that you can use to flavor curry, hayashi, miso soup ect. (add some konbu and dried しいたけ if you want) those chickens can really go a long way. I think if you just hotpot a whole bird you will get a lot of small bones, kidneys and other things from the inside of the bird,

[@WatchingDude]

Eating cow tongue used to be very common in England and Australia.

The size of things was always my issue with Costco. Its great but I never really need things to be that big. It was neat seeing the different things in Japan. Lol I thought I was the only one who would sometimes eat the pizza like this right on the plate 9:42

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

The idea was you do like restaurants. You buy in bulk, freeze, eat over a period of weeks. Or as my family did, we got aunts and uncles, grandma, and split the food up. These days, people just go there as if it’s a regular supermarket. I’m sure there’s a correlation between the opening of Costco/Sam’s Clubs and the ride in obesity. Even in Japan the rare times I see fat people are usually at Costco.

[@bigfootpart4therevengeancing]

I guess that face-lift mask could also be useful if you ever want to cosplay as Bane.
