What Can $1 Buy In A Japanese Dollar Store? | Daiso Shopping Haul

[@FatsquatchPNW]

I'm convinced the name Daiso is Japanese for "dangerous." Because that's what that store is. You walk in and you go "Oh, hey, everything's so cheap! This is cute, and I could use this, and i know *just* who to gift this to, and I bet i could find a use for that and OMG WTF WHY IS MY RECEIPT 3 FEET LONG AND WHY IS MY TOTAL $78?!!?!?!?" 😂

[@waterfallsandrain]

I may as well just give Daiso my wallet at the door. It’s worse than Target that way 💸💸💸

[@retiredsockmonkey7257]

😂😂😂😂Yes so true.. I buy some stuff I don’t need.

[@jackie552]

I use Dawn dish soap for my makeup brushes. Bc it’s made to cut through grease, it does a great job with the oils from makeup on your brushes. It doesn’t make my brushes rough or damage them in any other way. 😁

[@Call-me-Al]

Same! I've almost always used hand-dishwashing detergent, I feel it cleans better than makeup brush detergent.

[@christopherlively8477]

I love how adorably excited Emmy gets over the silliest things:)

[@ReyOfLight]

I could see the little silicon bottle with brush possibly being useful for eggwash or melted butter as well when baking or preparing some bread dish etc

[@Beezer.D.B.]

Or cupcake pan! Though I would probably prefer paper liners. I’ve ruined many cupcake pans over the years by not using liners. ☺️

[@ReyOfLight]

@Beezer.D.B. I've hardly ever or even never used a paper liner in a spring form when making cakes, I just use butter and finely shredded coconut (or breadcrumbs) to coat the pan and the cake just lets go super easily! Only time I use paper is for cake in a brownie type pan or for cupcakes, but for the latter it's because it's easier to store and hold the cupcakes with than without

[@Beezer.D.B.]

@@ReyOfLight- That makes sense because coconut would contain a lot of oil still! I think anyway. Would be tasty too! 😋

[@missmarthafawker]

I love the idea of the little washer for barbie cloths!!!! I would have loved it growing up. Also ther is a thing you can plug into the wall and then you put the other end into what ever takes batteries. I use them for my fairy lights.

[@DaddyMoogie]

Can attest to the brush cleaner. I only quit using it because every time I go its sold out, so I gave up ETA: if you don't want to bother with the little machine, daiso also sells a little washing egg. It has several textures to wash brushes, and can even be used to get stains out of clothing. I love my little washing egg.

[@emmymade]

Thanks for the testimonial. 😆

[@dezinechic]

eEeEe!!!! i have the washing egg AND the ridged little washing mat!

[@redbirddeerjazz]

I love Daiso because the products are generally much higher quality and better designed than those from other “dollar” stores. We don’t have Daiso stores in the UK so when I moved to New Zealand I was so excited to buy lots of household items from my local Daiso. I have one of those fluffy headbands except mine has cat ears! 😸

[@Mori_oop]

Beauty blenders are supposed to expand with water. Shrinkage is usually a sign of a improper one

[@countrycluckers7644]

The fluffer/whipped container can also be used as a pickle picker. Pour a jar of pickles in the container, then add the pickles on too of the tray. When you want a pickle, just lift the handle and pick a pickle. Less mess, and you are not fumbling around with your fingers or tongs to get that one pickle. 😂

[@karenneill9109]

I live in Vancouver, BC and we have a Daiso. The quality of the items for the price is just SO much better than typical Dollar Stores. I LOVE it.

[@Gerry1290]

Here in Italy we also put the clothes outside to dry them (actually some people use the dryer machine but the most prefer the old way)

[@whatvenus5968]

Thank you for doing this episode. It was very nostalgic. Some of my earliest memories on KZbin are of you trying Japanese snacks and filming on a laptop (I’m remembering it to be a laptop but I could be wrong). I was 10-12 years old and now I’m going on 22. Thank you for all the memories and dedication!

[@resurrectionsunday4164]

I really enjoyed this video. I love shopping in Daiso. It’s just hard to get help when you don’t speak Japanese. Both the toy washer and the plunger gadget would come in handy for someone who washes their shoelaces, hair ribbons , a handkerchief , those eyeglasses wipes or itty bitty stringy undies. I have not shopped there in a while but I might have to drop by and look for some Christmas gifts 🎁

[@sarahfisher6801]

I bought a flexible brush similar to the one in the video (bristles are denser, and the plastic is gray silicone), and I use it to scrub vegetables like potatoes.

[@markbyrd872]

❤ I love the way she describes things ❤

[@z6886]

Yes! As she was showing how the soap agitator works I was thinking how good it would be for egg whites.

[@jessicacaraballo645]

I gotta go out to my local daiso again soon... it's always the best... My favorite finds in the past are the disney laundry sort bags and sticky notes and cards for my office, a stuff brontosaurus for me and a triceratops for my cousin and mini office chairs for my barbie collection ... Its the best place for little holiday gifts

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

My lovely wife and I just moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and we've already been to a few Daiso stores. There's one right down the street from where we live in Irving. They have some interesting and nifty stuff..!

[@catrinelindberg]

Ah - about the ”bread stamp”…. perhaps if you make the stamp in a slice that is a little bit frozen, the mark will stay down and be more visible after it is toasted 😊

[@SuziPoozi]

My favorite things there are the little bitty bento sauce bottles. They are so great for lunches and I plan on using them for liquids when I travel. They come in so many sizes from tiny to 4-4 ozs, they are awesome!

[@chaos_kitt3n.mayhem]

I have successfully made toykokiki in a cake pop maker. That would be an interesting idea to try.

[@CharlieC738]

I have always been fascinated by Japan. Its astounding how much thought and design goes into the products they make.

[@QueenCityHistory]

Oh Japan is decades ahead of the rest of us. While America is still living in 2023(well part of it) Japan is living in 2050 lol

[@tuanoini]

Japan is the promised land of engineers 😄

[@micheleobrien7094]

We have Daisy here in SE Asia as well. I’ve been in the ones in Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines, but the ones in Japan are stocked even better! I just got back from Japan, with a set of 6 bamboo bowls for less than $12. The yen is a bit weaker to the dollar right now, so even in Malaysia, where it used to be about $1.50 for the main store, it is now less than $1.25. Their cooling racks and BBQ items are quite good quality!

[@93eclipseguy]

You dont actually need fabric softner. It actually makes your towles not work very well.

[@wickedwest89]

Loved learning about some cultural Japanese items (and foods)…great video

[@Batmandabomb]

that oil dispenser would be a great tool to put oil or butter on a turkey

[@Beezer.D.B.]

A popular washing machine in the RV “nomads” lifestyle is very similar to your toy one, only bigger. And of course more durable so that you can actually wash a small load of clothes in it. Many have a spin dryer (I’m thinking Salad Spinner? 😂) built in right next to the washer that spins so well that many reviewers say the clothes are _almost_ dry. Most nomads carry a fold up expanding clothes rack for actual drying though. Very cool. 😎

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

This is the exact spin washer I bought during lockdown. The spin dryer side doesnt work anymore, something snapped inside it, but it worked great for a while!

[@Beezer.D.B.]

@@IjeomaThePlantMama - I’m not surprised that the spin dry side broke… from what I saw, that sucker spins so fast, it really is like a salad spinner, lol!

[@blanecornell]

Thanks Emmy, I always learn something when I watch your videos.

[@emmymade]

Yay!!!💫

[@california236]

I understand about the scented soap, I also have sensory issues with smells.

[@tonray9395]

In Thailand, DAISO is known as the 60 baht store (about $1.70 at current xchange rates). I believe everything, unless marked with a higher price (and there are many items like that) is 60 baht. Every local area has what we call 20 Baht stores (about 60 cents) with most items 20 baht and some things a bit higher. I love DAISO just because browsing there is a trip but if when we need household items like clothes hangers or plastic ware..it's usually a better deal at the 20 baht local shops.

[@mollypatton5316]

I live in NorCal and we have Daiso here so when I was in BKK I totally dropped in and had fun looking at the similarities and differences between US and Thai Daiso.

[@Tipper1941]

Hint, I use a cut water bottle to hold my wasabi and yuzu in a tube. Would fit big wasabi too. Reduce, reuse, recycle. 👍🏻❤️

[@Waywren]

It's always good to see your daiso videos! I'm so glad Dallas has like three

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I have had the little silicone oil applicator jars ... they gum up. I much prefer a little spray bottle - I have one for EVOO and one for avocado oil!

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

It kinda makes no sense. You can't touch food with it or you'd have to clean it, may as well use a brush. And if it's for lubricating a pan those bristles wouldn't work that well, and now you've got oily bristles like just chillin in your cupboard. I've heard spray bottles get gross after awhile too but at least it's way more sanitary and effective

[@Natalie-nj2zs]

Here in Brazil we have Daiso and Miniso, I could spend hours and hours in the store, I love their items

[@bbarnett]

Hey here's what I was looking for. A new Emmy video!

[@MeritRaXIX]

the toast stamp is made for japanese bread. That bread is thicker and fluffier, i guess it works best on that bread

[@lauren2971]

i LOVE DAISO SO MUCH THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOOK AT I COULD SPEND HOURS HERE! I GOT THE FOAMER FOR MY SON WHO LOVES TO MAKE "POTIONS" IN THE BATH

[@sarahpowers2212]

Did anybody just gasp at how cute Emmy looks in that headband! 100% gorgeous baby doll adorable!

[@jefftreseder4358]

She looks like a doll you could buy in a konbini.

[@corsaircarl9582]

We have a Daiso in Frisco, Texas. It's my home away from home.

[@lycheelover72]

Do you happen to know if the foamer is food grade, since it isn't technically made for eggs?

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

Also good for an aebelskiver pan. Emmy, as I recall you made a batch in one of your videos?

[@Birdbike719]

I love your Japanese dollarstore videos. Gadgets are such fun

[@saraspara9365]

I live in South Korea (Originally from the U.S.) and Daiso is a dream compared to our dollar stores back home. You can get quality products for under 5,000 won.

[@AzureSkii.Kismet]

Wonderful a new Emmy video!!! 💙

[@emmymade]

Thanks!😆

[@Ms.D-loves-minis3]

I always love your Daiso hauls. You find some of the most interesting things 😁😁😁 Looking forward to seeing your next one 😊😊😊

[@CammieVee08]

I used to shop at Daiso when I was in California. That was my "go-to" store for my essentials and arts and crafts stuff. * Sighs * I miss stores like that.😞

[@evilbunnyofhorror]

I moved from Seattle to the midwest and just realized they don't have them here!!

[@CammieVee08]

@@evilbunnyofhorror it's true. The Midwest doesn't have Daiso. It has regular dollar stores, just not Daiso or Ichiban Kan , another Japanese dollar store.

[@Mrs.Winegarden]

​@@evilbunnyofhorror We live about an hour north of Seattle and just had one open up 10 minutes from us! Its nice not having to drive and hr+! I hope they decide to open up where you are now! They're so fun!!

you could totally use the oil squeeze brush to put egg whites in it for making gyoza or seal eggrolls.

A day that Emmy uploads is a day that I know I will smile 😊❤

Whoa! I've watched your channel ever since my friend and I stumbled upon your Popin cookin videos back in 2012! And I think this is maybe one of the first times I've seen you without bangs! 😂💖🎀 You putting on that headband was something so small but its so crazy seeing how much ive always associated you with your iconic hairstyle.

[@pqrstsma2011]

15:05 i find it amazing how pans similar to that are used in countries around the world, countries which seemingly have very little or no historical connection to each other... Japan has _takoyaki,_ (southern) India has _neiyyappam,_ Denmark has _Abelskiver_ made from apples, (anyone from Denmark here, feel free to correct me on this) and the US has 'cake pops'... and its funny how each thinks that pan is unique for each item

[@Witchy_Woman55]

I wish there was a Daiso store near me!!!!

[@CricketsBay]

I think Emmy got these items from Daiso Online. They ship within the U.S. It's not free shipping though.

[@luceroleal617]

These are my favorite kind of videos 🥰🥰

[@beccasmama63]

I am the same with scents. We use unscented laundry detergent and unscented fabric softener.

Best if you keep double AA’s battery as back up, as in case of emergency. But these items you found is cute.

Fun fact: the first Daiso in the US opened in my local mall :)

Do the items in the Bokksu have the nutritional information on them? I would need to know the sodium in each serve of the items.

I wonder if the tub of tomato paste would work in the condiment organizer. Mine is always in the way.

[@emdeejay7432]

I've noticed that in a lot of anime, they will show people hanging the laundry, or you'll just see it in the background or whatnot. I thought it was just for nostalgia and a certain look, but now I know it's actually very common there.

Air doesn't insulate. Air is the worst conductor of heat. It stops cooler air from conducting to the hot liquid. I could be wrong, but I swear ice melts much slower if it is not submerged in water.

[@AvenRox]

Theres two Diaso shops in my city, each a few miles from my house (im smack in the middle). One of them is at a mall, but the mall closest to me did not get a Daiso, it got a Miniso which is different and not as fun. So I have ti nake the drive if I want to shop in person, unfortunately.

[@Kneon_Knight]

Just an idea, but maybe a smear of jam or jelly on the toast would make the imprint more visible?

[@christaq3528]

Yes!!! I live at Daiso, lol. I am there all the time.

[@andrewcoates6641]

It’s surprising how often some of these Daiso(?) products make an appearance either here on emmys channel or on other platforms and then someone comments that they have had a very similar gadget hidden away at the back of their cupboards that they had passed down to them whenever an elderly relative has moved into a care home or they have passed away, then it becomes apparent that the old gadget is much more durable than its plastic modern counterpart for example, I have an old glass cylinder with a perforated metal disc attached to a metal rod which my mother received from a neighbour as a part of a wedding gift. It actually has a descriptive name printed on the glass cylinder that gives its use as a measuring and mixing device for making Horlicks hot milk drinks although I can only recall my parents using the device to prepare eggs prior to cooking omelettes or scrambled eggs although it is only big enough to hold 2 eggs but I have seen larger but identical versions displayed in antique shops. Personally I crack my eggs into an old clean jam or honey jar, put the lid back on and shake it like a cocktail mixer before adding them to a pan. I very much doubt that the gadget you used to make the foaming egg whites will still be in use ten years from now mine predates WW2 and probably WW1.

[@garputhefork]

Does anyone know what's going on with the US daiso website?

Hi! I'm a new fan. I've only seen a couple of episodes but have already fallen in love with Emmy. Is this normal or do I need to go back to therapy?

[@omgitsBenjamin]

@emmymade Emmy!! Omg, I have to do some laundry now and I love to play a video in the background when I’m doing chores so I opened KZbin and was so happy to see you have a new video! It always provides such a little spark of joy and happiness in my day when there is a new one. Anyway, I know this is rambling and random but it’s late and I’ve had a couple glasses of wine 😅 😊 but I wanted to jump in and say that I recently visited the New England area with my husband and we absolutely love it and we think that is where we will be moving in a couple of years. We still need to scope out Vermont and New Hampshire, and I was wondering when we do make that trip in the next 6 months if it would be at all possible to meet up with you to give you a hug and take a selfie because I have been a fan of yours for at least six years now!?! I have learned so much from your videos, and not to mention the hours of joyful and wholesome entertainment they have given me!! I would love to thank you in person for that and buy you a cup of coffee. It is the absolute least that I could do! ❤

[@ghostratsarah]

Line drying clothes is a violation of the lease in most corporate rental properties and home owners associations. It can even get a nin HOA home foreclosed on if the county disapproves, more common than you'd think. That's before factoring regional circumstances. Here we have forest fires and dust all summer, ice all winter. Spring and autumn I hardly know 'em. I can't afford laundromats, and the little japanese washers just do not fit the layout of our bathroom or kitchen, so I wash by hand and dry over a heater. We tried a couple different portable syles, but they just do not fit, or survive long, yay planned obsolescence. I've seen that adorable little washer before, a YTer I follow was goofing off with it. I want one so bad, if only to play with it. He tried to make a cotton candy like sring with hotglue in it. He'd get cold water spinning, the inject the hot glue. It was cool.
