Lunch and Shopping at IKEA JAPAN

[@Abby-wc4lw]

I love going to Ikea, aside from just browsing furniture, the food in their cafeteria is really good for its price. The Ikea around where I live doesn't have as many options but I usually stick to the Swedish meatballs when I visit there anyway. Also I love their coffee hahaha

[@funnyfarm299]

IKEA meal without meatballs? I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.

[@chrisd5964]

It’s OK, the IKEA security guards will not allow them to leave until they eat at least one potion of meatballs and a hotdog before they can go.

[@maxmephistru]

Salmon is OK too

[@juanitajones7169]

Out of, curiosity; what exactly; are, 'meatballs'?

[@elisaastorino2881]

​@@juanitajones7169Swedish meatballs with creamy gravy. The platter comes with boiled potatoes and lingonberries. I haven't had it in years but I remember it being really good.

[@Pduarte79]

Should be. Lol Does P3 door-kun, still works there?

[@BriarLeaf00]

The one thing that binds all of us within one worldwide monoculture. IKEA! Smoked Salmon! Lingonberry soda! Swedish meatballs!

[@CookieEngele]

What I love about Ikea: I'm sitting and watching your Video here on the other side of the world - from germany. But I feel connected and know so much of the things and furniture you show/comment on! Like "oh, the GNADELIG plates, yes they are beautiful! I have them in an other colour..." :D Oh and: our flat is like 75% IKEA furniture - just so simple, clean, easy and affordable for a young couple!

[@writingraven3314]

I just watched a video with a Japanese woman in Sweden and she was shopping at IKEA in Sweden. It's interesting to see how similiar yet different IKEA is in different countries. The showroom in Sweden was very colorful, lots of neutrals with bright pops of color. A little different than the Japanese IKEA. I think it's interesting.

[@swissfoodie3542]

I like it, that at the IKEA here in Switzerland, they now also have vegetarian dishes (like "meatballs" with potato mash and lingonberrie sauce). My favorite is probably the cold salmon with dill and sweet mustard sauce. And Kannelbullar (I am normally not really into sweet things, but Kannelbullar can be so tasty).

[@b.bleinagel1082]

I love eating Köttbullar, the Swedish meatballs with potatoes and creamy gravy. The Japanese IKEA seem to have more "European" food, Borschtsch from East Europe, Pretzel (that word hurts everytime I need to write it because it's Breze) from south Germany/Austria..... Love that (here in Europe it's mainly Swedish because we got Borschtsch in Poland or the eastern part of Germany and other eastern states, we got Panini in Italy, Pretzel (😅) in Bavaria.....)

[@Sakja]

Mmm...Swedish meatballs with gravy and Ligonberry sauce. That's what Ikea Food Court means to me.

[@debracantrell1058]

Enjoy this video thanks for sharing 😘❤️🥰🤩😍💯🌈🙏🌹

[@thekhoifish0146]

Meatballs and daim cake have been my go to dishes at ikea

[@unclefrommars]

Thanks for sharing this video. I need to try the food stuffs in IKEA soon. 😋😋😋🖖👽

[@Waywren]

I love going to IKEA! It was super fun to see how the one in Japan is so alike and yet so different from the ones I've been to in Houston, Dallas, and Pittsburgh, but it was a little sad that neither of you got the meatballs, which are my favorite. And I'm jealous of the bakery section, none of the ones I've been to had that!

[@elisaastorino2881]

I live in Pittsburgh and we were among them first to get an Ikea store. The food is good but the furniture is crap. The store is so attractive that you forget about what you're buying.

[@chrisd5964]

The IKEA background music sounds like it’s being played by medieval court jester dwarves.

[@turpasauna]

One of the songs was actually a Christmas carol! 😂😂

[@scot60]

I can see the appeal of a store like Ikea to a person in Japan. They share a similar aesthetic. Minimal, natural colors, clean lines, modern. My daughter loves them too just as she loves Japanese culture

[@areasevenpro]

You simply can't go to IKEA without having a plate of meatballs with lingonberry sauce.

[@NANICU]

One of my quirks when traveling is to visit Ikea, if there's one in the city I'm visiting. So far, I've been to the ones in Tokyo (Chiba, Shinjuku and Shibuya), Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Bali and Malmo. Just like McDonald's the experience is pretty standard whichever store you're in 😊.

[@mariemorgan7759]

The fish and chips looked delicious. I live in South Florida, and have never been to an IKEA store. We have a Target store that sells similar contemporary furniture and home decor. No cafeteria,but some have a Starbucks or sandwich shops.

[@pattytakayama-zannini7498]

The nearest IKEA is an hour away. It's located literally in the same area as Costco! IKEA has great quality furniture. I have purchased 2 desks and an end table. Our favorite food are the Swedish Meatballs and Chicken Tenders. I have never seen Fish & Chips there.

[@gabrielegener7331]

I love ikea Lunch.

[@chatake5856]

for ikea canada, the smoke salmon comes with the salad. we don't even have these desserts; although we have daim cake. also our coffee cups are plain old white cups not these glass ones.

[@zotkindm]

Наблюдал за этим, поедая рисовую кашку на топленом молочке, с котлеткой запивая чаем с лимончиком и черничным варением. Да, мы в РФ любим это.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Ikea is one of the best place to get items for a much better price, yea I have Ikea in california

[@chariklia86]

Went to Ikea just before christmas and the sale in january. Mostly i go 4 or 5 times a year. It's 30/40 min busride from my home. I like the coffeebeans!!!

[@Gripprear69]

Swede here it’s very interesting to see what menus other countries has, weirdly stuff y’all had, I’ve never seen in a ikea menu.

[@ulqulqu]

Ah the İkea in my city is a showroom, they sell a limited number of items, and for the furniture you need to order and pick it up from there when it arrives. It's better than nothing but quite frustrating at the same time.

[@OblongPolkaDots]

I love this! IKEA is the same here too (Seattle, WA USA)! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dennistani1986]

Never been in a ikea store, although we had one about 25 miles from our house in california. Since we have been in Okinawa, we do most of our furniture shopping at Notori and OK today (think that's their name) On a different note, my wife said Costco is coming to Okinawa soon.

[@FirstLastOne]

About time on the Costco front... all things considered.

[@shannondore]

I've heard of Ikea but I've never been in one. I think the closest one to me is in Atlanta which is a couple hours away. I thought the carts to carry your trays was kind of nifty. I love cafeterias but all the ones I've gone to didn't have carts, that must be a Japanese thing. They think of everything there.😊

[@Minishrimp2]

In Washington State we have those carts. But sometimes they're available and other times they aren't? Must depend on how busy they are.

[@beatepaul5814]

The carts are more an Ikea-thing. In Germany, you can find them as well.

[@sylviegonzalez1153]

Got those carts in Canada 😊

[@thany3]

We have many IKEA here in Holland, and they are... exactly the same 😅

[@Pduarte79]

The sweet mustard in japan is it honey and mustard aswell?

[@Pduarte79]

To answer your question, Ikea is like McDonald's is everywhere, except in the moon, for now. 😅

[@duskbatrabbit1199]

No ikea at inlet beach Florida. I went a few times there tho at Atlanta. Yum food. Bought a cheap footon

[@LatinaChef1986]

I live in northwestern Indiana and the closest IKEA stores near me are in Illinois outside of Chicago. One in Schaumburg and the other in Bolingbrook. I have never been to one and I’ve always wanted to go. I’ve seen one in Italy when I visited my cousins. It was somewhere in Tuscany outside of Pisa.

[@angelalee7012]

IKEA chips are soggy in Australia, too!

[@annie_ocean73]

Hello from South Africa! Love your videos so much!! ❤ We don't have an Ikea here, very sad! Love their products! 😢

[@Alyssav-90]

Just went there last weekend, funny how Ikea is pretty much the same everywhere

[@caledoniansmurf3691]

😂 oops that little trip 1:56

[@darth_yoda]

The sliced salmon with dild coating we normally put on bread and don't eat by it self :P

[@cybersmurfen]

I love going to Ikea. I live in Sweden and in Stockholm. We have a Ikea in the middle of Stockholm.

[@worldoftravels2020]

I'm jealous. Ikea has much more variety than here in America.

[@JadenYukifan28]

Cous Cous is kind of like a pearl pasta, that is how I can describe it.

[@alphahunterd]

dang that's some good stuff. last i went mine didn't have that. sad

[@worldwidebear1967]

Is "Köttbullar" (Swedish Meatballs, with mashed potatoes and creamy sauce) also in Japan a favorite dish like it is here in Germany?

[@mariaisaksson8948]

Next time at IKEA having lunch get the salmon and the soft bread you had last time and combine them and make a sandwich

[@Sasa-88]

I love to see Mister Kantanfood❤Satoshi browse the kitchen tools and Sinichi the Scarpetta Master 😀🤌🏻

[@ronalddevine9587]

We have an ikea store here in New Haven, Connecticut. We shop and eat there regularly. I don't believe that we have fish and chips on our menu. Have you tried their Swedish meatballs? Delicious.

[@playedit0ut290]

Unfortunately one of my first visits to Ikea in my area back at 2019 was rather "hangry". Went there during lunch hours and spent over 30+mins waiting in line just to get food from the cafe while my stomach rumbles in pain... At least I enjoyed the decor exhibitions.

[@cycg1935]

The meatballs in my Ikea reataurant is kinda dry as it's purely beef due to catering to Muslim customers. I'm not a fish person but I do prefer the salmon here over the meatballs. Anyhow, it's so super crowded on weekends that you can't see the food counter over the queue 😅

[@yaminogame7805]

It's so quiet at Japanese Ikea.

[@weryut8282]

Borsch it's not soup, it's Borsch. Also taste great with sour cream and black bread

[@cauxzieruffhausen9547]

I went to the Ikea in Denver Colorado and it took me 45 minutes to get out of it.

[@trovey02]

Only 45 minutes?😮😅

[@restaurantman]

👍

[@darknight910]

I thought that nordic bread was hardtack until you tore it apart easily. 😅

[@turpasauna]

I've never understood localization in chains like these. 🤔 Ikea is Swedish, so one would expect Nordic food, right? But I know they serve curries etc. Same with Muji; in Finland, they have a selection of Finnish produce. Why would I buy those, I can get them anywhere..? 😅 Thanks for trying out the salmon, bread etc., that IS something we Nordics eat a lot! Ps. If you liked the salmon with dill, please check out the recipe for Finnish salmon soup. It's been very popular with the Japanese, and also voted as one of the best soups in the world. 😊

[@usagikinomoto_sakura]

Not everyone is adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. So it's good to have a mix of selection available for everyone 😊

[@RIXRADvidz]

the IKEA here in Lone Tree Colorado is a mess. displays in disarray, so the whole ''Display Floor'' is difficult to navigate, the market place often has empty shelves and no tags on products that are on the shelves. I've been to NICE IKEAs , around the world, but the One Local here in Colorado, it's like a dump store, low end of the store grading system.

[@kimcheelove]

as you know, no ikea in hawaii! what do you think of the prices at ikea in japan compared to america?

[@captainjohnny]

I want that bed so comfy

[@ebiUsher]

quick question! could someone tell me what the bread at 3:20 is called? thank youu

[@prushaglli9026]

we have in norway in almost each city. the food in japan is much better quality and better taste than here. we dont have that bread selection you had in the video.

[@herrys6752]

meat balls is the legend if you like

[@joelchong5562]

Ikea is the world's best mall

[@Sakana_Ren]

The nearest IKEA from my hometown is over 70 miles (or, over 120 km). *welps*

[@45ladybugs]

I live in New Westminster BC Canada and I drive to Coquitlam. The food is almost the same with a few differences. I go once every three months. I always start at the restaurant and then stop at this micro cafe they have on the second floor there is a bigger cafe after the check out. I always enjoy the food !

[@Windows-95]

First for once! :o Love it, as always! Keep up the great work both of you.

[@campervanhelsing]

Watching this while I eat the most boring dinner ever haha

[@kimcheelove]

what did you eat?

[@campervanhelsing]

@@kimcheelove it was oats

[@kimcheelove]

@@campervanhelsing boring but healthy! i just had some for dinner too!

[@campervanhelsing]

@kimcheelove what did you have haha ?

[@kimcheelove]

@@campervanhelsing savory oats!

[@donthaveajungian]

I genuinely find the subtitles font a bit tough to read in this one. It's too condensed.

[@Haroumi]

Weird color for borscht xD

[@perdomot]

Wish the food signs had English on them. Wonder if there is an English menu.

[@davidyip6418]

Don't worry. I think there is Google Translate on most cell phones and or mobile devices.

[@HikaruRain]

We have an Ikea the next county over. It is probably about a two and half hour drive away. I have never been to it but have seen it on my three hour drive to and from Universal. But the stuff they sell in our Ikea here is not worth the price. It is all made out of Particle board and will fall apart easy. I wouldn't purchase any of it.

[@2xtreem4u]

I live near Ikea kungens kurva and Ikea city

[@deluxe1668]

The food at IKEA in South Florida USA are really bad. Menu has not been change for over 8 years. And most of the food is dry and expensive. Besides Meat ball and Smoke Salmon fish there are no other choice is good. Very little selection on menu. Sad...

[@summerdragonfly]

💙💛😊✌

[@annazemskova9417]

I’m just from IKEA Brooklyn, NY, and I have to say it doesn’t look that good. The menu is smaller, and food didn’t look appetizing, so I ended up having a coffee with a cinnamon roll

[@tubetop123]

Japanese are much more polite!!

[@jzilla1234]

I guess Japan ikea has better food than ikea uk

[@markthrasher6770]

Still in masks, sad really

[@maxmephistru]

IKEA names are not that cute when you know what they mean 😒

[@ladyeli00]

Dude.. Still the mask??? 🤦‍♂️

[@AW-uf1mk]

Ikea is a horrible store.

[@Leo-Lion]

For 139 yen for paper napkins that is not really worth it

[@JodyY808]

That's only about 94 cents in U.S. $. Too much?

[@shannondore]

But he got 50 napkins in a pack, so it was a pretty good deal. You don't even get half that at the Dollar Tree and those sell for $1.25 a pack.

[@kuanung7816]

Please tell me which Ikea was this in Tokyo? Thanks

[@agentrikamcgee]

I've only had the luxury of going to Ikea twice, and I wasn't able to eat at the store either time because of how busy it was XD Embarrassingly, the first time I went to Ikea, I was on a trip abroad in Hong Kong with my coworkers... then I got lost in the Ikea maze, separated from everyone else. It was a good thing I could speak some Chinese, and I managed to get help paging my companions because I was just so dizzy that I couldn't even tell where I came from anymore (and I also had no reception so I couldn't call them on my phone, lol). Ikea only recently opened a store in my country, a few years ago- and until now it's still the only Ikea in the whole country. So it's still a bit of a novelty and it's always full of people making a trip of just going there and eat at the cafe. The line to the cafe was literally longer than the lines at the register. Maybe when more Ikea stores open I'll be able to eat there someday...
