Costco sells a standard line, but they also have items specific to the local area. Go to the Hawaii Costco, very unique items. I wish they would bring more Japanese items to the US, but I think that there may be a language/packaging problem.

I worked in an American Costco for 10 years and had always wanted to transfer to a Japanese Costco. For a retail/grocery store, Costco pays their employees well and give awesome benefits. They use to be one of the highest ranking, for their category, for taking care of their employees. That is why now I still like Costco, not only for quality of products, but for how they take care of their employees.

[@jilllecar]

The general category for all those cooking sauces and dressings is usually called condiments. Your son looks so cute dancing through the isles

[@lihharusan1]

lol I love hearing you and your wife talking with one another in this video. She gives pretty good insights on what's in Japan. That chicken nugget potato bucket would be my ultimate comfort food. Wish we got that here in the States. I feel like most people would love it.

[@intallpines]

Paolo, You are 100% correct that Hawaiian Costco' has a ton of seafood and lots of Poke in all of them!

[@Jordan-inJapan]

Our ‘international family circle’ here in (rural) Mie Prefecture regularly make a kind of pilgrimage to our nearest Costco. It takes a couple of hours but we carpool and make a day-adventure of it. Costco here is the perfect combination of Japan quality and American goodies that we usually kind find here. (Still have a couple of slices of pepperoni pizza in the freezer right now!) Never tried the poke though. Looks good!

[@MarkCMoran]

The costco here in Honolulu, Hawaii is actually the busiest Costco in the world. It sometimes is in second place to one in South Korea, but most of the time it is in the #1 spot. And yes, they have poke there. But not always. Depends on the season and availability.

[@ThePawn02]

The reason you see the HI Costco on the top 10 list is due to time differences in reporting. If they delayed that report by 24 hours and just showed what each Costco made in the last 24 hours you would only see SEA stores on the list. In a 24 hour period they make quite a bit more.

[@migueldeleon4099]

Hi Paulo. I can tell you pour your heart and soul into your productions! Love the "day in the life of" series. Some suggestions for future shows: conbini employee, rickshaw driver, nurse, golf course caddie, and maybe a special behind-the-scenes. Keep up the grade work and thanks for sharing your life in Japan with us. My wife and I love Japan and try to visit when we can. Can't wait until it (for "reals") opens back up!

[@TryItMom]

I always love seeing what is available in Costco's in different countries. They have the strawberry shortcake in Canada too. We have the sesame dressing but it is a different brand. I swear the hot dog is like a staple at the Costco food court everywhere.

[@steadholderharrington9035]

James (Jim) Sinegal, one of the original owners of Costco, was the one who instituted the hotdog and pop deal in the foodcourts at all Costco stores in the world, as he said that the low-priced food acts as a hook to get customers to come into the store in the first place. Once the customer was safely inside, they would be more inclined to buy other deals as well at that point. At one point around 1984/85-ish, one of the then, head bean-counters of Costco approached Jim Sinegal and noted to him that Costco was operating at a loss over the price of the Hotdog and Pop deal of $1.50, and that they should raise the price a few dollars to return them to profitability. Jim turned to the bean-counter and is quoted as having said to him, in a not so subtle, angry and threatening voice (for real; this is not a joke), "Touch my Dogs, and I will End You!!" The dogs and pop have remained at their current price selling point ever since. 😂😂

[@ThePawn02]

@@steadholderharrington9035 It wasn't a head Bean Counter lol. It was the current CEO Craig Jelenik. The quote is, If you raise the price on the hot dog I will fucking kill you. This used to be in our early training videos. (Bleedped out of course.)

[@steadholderharrington9035]

@@ThePawn02 I was told it was an accountant by an apparently lesser informed Costco employee here, where I live (we've got eight(8) of these stores here if you can believe that! Why a city of just over 1 million people need 8 of these stores is beyond me!) As for the rest of it, call it creative editing for family friendly ears. I didn't know where it had originated from.

[@jessiecrismaata5696]

Hey Paolo, nice to see this video showcasing stuff that can be bought at Costco. I've always been curious about what things they have since I've never been to one. My suggestion with the longganisa or tocino is to cook it in plain water, but make sure to use nonstick pan, until much of the water evaporates. That way, the meat gets cooked in its own oil (like literal: igisa sa sariling mantika). Also, the oil from the longganisa or tocino gets extracted out of their meat so it gets less fatty. That's the way I cook both dishes here in Japan. Before, I used to let both swim in so much cooking oil, because I did't know how to cook it any other way.

I just had Costco pizza not that long ago over here in California with the family. What I love with the membership is not only getting buck items and the food court but also the gasoline price discount, especially with California higher fuel cost per gallon. I only go to their gas stations early in the morning or 30 minutes before they close since most of the day the lines here are very long.

[@marcushenness6437]

I live near a place called Jungle Jim's International Food Market. They have everything you've got there and eating raw fish is becoming more common. Almost every Kroger here has a seafood department where a Japanese company comes and makes fresh sushi.

Wolfy has got to be the cutest kid. He had more fun at Costco than at the playground, I think. Thanks for sharing Japan's Costco.

[@hugsuniverse]

I think the word you were searching for to describe sauces and such is condiments. Strawberry shortcake is made differently in the US depending on the region. In the Northeast, biscuits are made, then strawberries in juice is poured over an opened biscuit with a plop of whipped cream on top. In the Southern part, it’s common to have spongecake and strawberries on top, and then a spoonful of whipped cream. Wolfy is adorable. 🚂

[@ashog1426]

[@thebromabunch9105]

I love that they have longganisa and tocino now. I usually boil them until the water evaporates. Then just let the oil from the longganisa finish the cooking for me. That way it's not too oily and you can get a good caramelization coating the sausage.

It's the sushi that's a deal at Costco Japan. In the US we don't have that, but we usually have maybe two Japanese scotch's and no beer. The instant noodle options for Japanese brands is also much better there, but we do have a few good Korean noodles in the US. Strawberry shortcake has been around forever in the US too. It's usually individual sponge cakes sold separately during strawberry season and you make it fresh with whipped cream as a single serving. At least that's how we used to make it.
